John Somerville (conspirator)
John Somerville (1560–1583) was the son of John Somerville (d. in or after 1579), of Edstone, Warwickshire, and Elizabeth Corbett of Lee, Shropshire. Somerville publicly exclaimed his desire and intention to assassinate Elizabeth I of England. However, it is likely that he was of unsound mind, and had neither the inclination nor capacity to carry out his threat. Nevertheless, the deeply suspicious Elizabethan security services took him seriously; perhaps as a precaution or to make an example, he was imprisoned in the Tower of London and tortured. He was alleged to have hanged himself in jail before he could be executed. Somerville's outburst had dire consequences for his kin. His father-in-law, Edward Arden was also arrested, tortured, tried and found guilty of treason by Christopher Wray. He was executed at Smithfield on 20 December 1583. His wife and daughter were also imprisoned in the Tower but later spared. While it is possible that the Somerville and Arden case was dealt ...

John Somerville, 4th Lord Somerville
John Somerville, 4th Lord Somerville, (c.1484-1523), was a Lord of the Parliament of Scotland. He was the eldest son of William Somerville, Master of Somerville, the son of John Somerville, 3rd Lord Somerville, and Marjory Montgomerie, daughter of Alexander Montgomerie, 2nd Lord Montgomerie and sister of Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton. According to the 17th-century family history written by James, 11th Lord Somerville, this Lord John was an ineffectual character, and his affairs were managed by his relations as tutors and curators. The historian only found one charter signed by John at Edinburgh in 1510 connected with his coming-of-age, and assumes the Lord spent most of his life at Cowthally Castle near Carnwath. There is no record of John attending Parliament. He was succeeded as Lord Somerville by his brother Hugh Somerville, 5th Lord Somerville, Hugh Somerville.
