When did the man for whom Robert Carr was a favourite become King of Scotland?
Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset, (c. 1587 – 17 July 1645), was a politician, and favourite of King James VI and I.
Robert Munro, 18th Baron of Foulis Colonel Robert Munro of Foulis (died April 1633), also known as the Black Baron, was traditionally the 18th Baron of Foulis in Scotland. He was a soldier of fortune, who served in Germany under the banners of Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden. It is not certain how he got his epithet of the 'Black Baron', but quite possibly it was from the colour of his hair rather than any perceived martial ferocity. Although this Robert Munro is traditionally 18th Baron and 21st overall chief of the Clan Munro, he is only the 11th Munro chief that can be proved by contemporary evidence.
