High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Kerr (Carr) (c. 1578 1654), 1st Earl of Ancram, was a Scottish nobleman and writer. He was descended from a third son of Sir Andrew Ker of Ferniehurst, and entered public life as laird of Ancrum in Roxburghshire. He was born about the year 1578, and succeeded to the family estate in 1590, on the death of his father, who was assassinated by his kinsman, Robert Key, younger of Cessford. He was cousin to the famous, or rather infamous Robert Carr, the favourite of James VI. Kerr appears to have also been honoured, at an early period of life, with court favour. Soon after the king's accession to the English throne, he is observed to occupy a considerable station in the household of Prince Henry, which was, perhaps, more splendid, and consisted of more persons than the present royal household. He afterwards was employed about the person of Prince Charles, who became his patron through life. By the mediation of this prince, a match waseffected between Sir Robert and the Lady Anne Stanley, daughter of the Earl of Derby.
