Kenneth Mackenzie, 4th Earl of Seaforth

Kenneth Mackenzie, 4th Earl of Seaforth, KT, PC (S) (bapt. 8 December 1661 – January 1701) was a Scottish peer and Jacobite supporter, known as Lord Mackenzie of Kintail from birth until 1678.

Mackenzie was the eldest son of Kenneth Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Seaforth and his wife, Isabel. In 1686, he was sworn of the Privy Council of Scotland and was a founding knight of the Order of the Thistle a year later. In 1678, he inherited his father's titles and ten years later, following the Glorious Revolution, he followed King James II and VII to France and later to Ireland, where he was present at the Siege of Derry. For his part in supporting the dethroned King James in Ireland, he was elevated by James in 1690, to Marquess of Seaforth (in the Jacobite Peerage, with the subsidiary title of Earl of Fortrose), and was sent to head a rising in Scotland. He was soon captured and imprisoned. He was released in 1697 and died in Paris in January 1701.

After the battle of Killiecrankie and the death of Claverhouse, James, writing on 30 November 1689 from Dublin Castle to Colonel Cannon, promised to send to him Seaforth to 'head his friends and followers'. For some time his castle of Brahan was garrisoned by Hugh Mackay. After General Thomas Buchan undertook the command of the Jacobite forces, Seaforth prepared to join him with a body of the northern clans, but, on learning of Buchan's defeat at Cromdale on 1 May 1690, he sent two of his clan to arrange terms with the government.
