GEORGE GORDON, 2nd marquess of Huntly (d. 1649), his eldest son by Lady Henrietta, daughter of the duke of Lennox, was brought up in England as a Protestant, and created earl of Enzie by James I. His influence in Scotland was employed by the king to balance that of Argyll in the dealings with the Covenanters. In the civil war he took the king's side, and in 1647 was excepted from the general pardon ; in March 1649, he was beheaded by order of the Scots parliament at Edinburgh. The attainder was reversed by parliament in 1661.
