John Hay (1626-1697), Lord Chancellor of Scotland 1692-96. He started the English Civil War as a Royalist, but switched sides because of Charles I's treatment of the Covenanters. Thus he fought for Charles at Nottingham in 1642, then for Parliament at Marston Moor in 1644, before joining the Royalists at the Battle of Preston in 1648. In 1660 he was imprisoned for support of James Guthrie, the Presbyterian 'Protestor', but when Charles II was restored to the throne he was appointed Lord President of the Scottish Council in 1663 and an Extraordinary Lord of Session in 1664.
