    He succeeded to the titles of 6th Lord Kennedy and 4th Earl of Cassillis on 28 November 1558. He fought in the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568, for the side of Mary Queen of Scots.

    Cassilis was known as the "King of Carrick" for the feudal influence he possessed in that region. In 1565, he seized Allan Stewart, the Commentator of Crossraguel, and imprisoned him at Dunure Castle, seeking to obtain from him certain of the rights over the lands of Crossraguel Abbey. When Stewart proved recalcitrant, Cassilis had him dragged to the Black Vault of Dunure, and roasted him alive over a fire until he was willing to subscribe to the charters the Earl had drawn up.[1]
    Stewart was finally rescued by his brother-in-law, the Laird of Bargany, who captured Dunure and procured his deliverance.[2] The rescue, however, occasioned a feud between the subsequent Earls of Cassilis and Lairds of Bargany.

    Gilbert Kennedy was the son of Gilbert Kennedy, 2nd Earl of Cassilis, and Lady Isabel Campbell. Born c. 1517, he succeeded as the 3rd Earl of Cassilis at the age of ten or eleven in 1527. He was educated at St. Andrews University (Fife, Scotland) and Paris under the renowned Scottish humanist George Buchanan. Kennedy was taken prisoner by the English after the Battle of Solway Moss on November 24, 1542, and after a short detention in the Tower of London was put under the care of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, until his release. Cassilis was one of the first among the Scottish nobility to embrace the teachings of the Protestant Reformation and, as such, inclined toward the English party in Scotland. He served as Extraordinary Lord of Session in Scotland from 1546 to 1558 and High Treasurer in 1554. On September 10, 1547, he fought at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, the last significant battle between the English and the Scots. Kennedy died on November 27, 1558, in Dieppe, France, while serving as a Scottish commissioner at the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Francis, the dauphin of France (later Francis II). Since two others of the Scots commission died the same night, the deaths were blamed on poisoning, the commission having refused to allow the dauphin to share the Scottish crown with Mary.
