Lovat
SIMON FRAZER, a Scotch nobleman; second son of Thomas Frazer of Beaufort; born in 1667. In 1699, on the death of his father, he assumed the title of Lord Lovat, to which on the death of the 11th Lord Lovat his father had acquired a disputed claim.
To secure the estates he effected a forced marriage with the Dowager Lady Lovat, for which he was outlawed and forced to take refuge in France. After a varied life of intriguing, first on the Hanoverian side and next on the Stuart, and a long imprisonment, his title, which had been objected to in various elections, was decided in his favor by the Court of Sesbong LOW kirk, and was flung into prison on returning to England in 1648. In 1645 he published "Lucasta." In 1659 his brother collected his poems as "Lucasta:
Posthume Poems." He died in London, England, in 1658.
