  • Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox (1542 – 1583): a favorite of King James VI of Scotland, later James I of England. He was banished by the Scottish nobility and died shortly thereafter. James memorialized him in a poem called Ane Tragedie of the Phoenix, which likened him to an exotic bird of unique beauty killed by envy.
