Liberation for Viscount Frendraught

Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Ludovic Viscount of Frendraught showing that where the petitioner being still a prisoner since the surrender of the Castle of Fedderate, yet he cannot but acknowledge his sense of gratitude which the said lords were pleased to grant him by the late enlargement, and in respect that the petitioner has little or nothing to live upon and that some of his relations are dying, which would be a great loss to him if he should not be present before they died, and in regard that Sir Thomas Livingston by their lordships’ order allowed the petitioner to use all means for his release, either by exchange of prisoners in France or any other way the supplicant could fall upon, as a double of a letter directed from the said Sir Thomas to the petitioner produced with the said petition has testified, and seeing that there is only 600 merks allowed to the petitioner’s lady, which cannot maintain them both, and that all the prisoners that were taken in the house of Fedderate are set at liberty. And therefore craving to the effect underwritten, as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council, having considered this petition given in to them by the above Viscount of Frendraught, they hereby grant order and warrant to the deputy governor of the Castle of Stirling, and in his absence to the next commanding officer there, to set the petitioner at liberty furth of the said castle in respect he has found sufficient caution acted in the books of privy council that he shall live peacefully under and with all submission to the present government of their majesties King William and Queen Mary and that he shall not act, consult or contrive anything in prejudice thereof and shall not converse any thing in prejudice thereof nor converse or correspond with rebels, and that he shall appear before the said lords upon the last Tuesday of February next to come or sooner if he shall be called, under the penalty of £100 sterling in case the petitioner shall transgress in any part of the premises.
