- Kenneth Mackenzie, 4th Earl of Seaforth
Kenneth Mackenzie, 4th Earl of Seaforth, KT, PC (S) (bapt. 8 December 1661 – January 1701) was a Scottish peer and Jacobite supporter, known as Lord Mackenzie of Kintail from birth until 1678.
Mackenzie was the eldest son of Kenneth Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Seaforth and his wife, Isabel. In 1686, he was sworn of the Privy Council of Scotland and was a founding knight of the Order of the Thistle a year later. In 1678, he inherited his father's titles and ten years later, following the Glorious Revolution, he followed James II to France and later to Ireland, where he was present at the Siege of Derry.
Circa 1690, Lord Seaforth was created Earl of Fortrose and Marquess of Seaforth (in the Jacobite Peerage) by the exiled-king and joined the Jacobite chiefs in the north of Scotland that year. He surrendered to Hugh Mackay and was imprisoned in 1692 for five years, before retiring in exile to France. On his death in 1701, his titles passed to his eldest son, William.
