Chess Match

Robert Seton, a Scottish lord, was a close friend of James I/VI and was created Earl of Winton in 1600. When he died, his estates went to the eldest of his six children, Robert Seton Jr - an ill-advised entailment considering his eldest is quite mad. Now all of Robert's progeny, together again for the first time since their father's death, have joined the Court of James I/VI in the country on the first anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot. Lady Isabel Seton, the baby of the Seton children, has devised a plan to get Robert Jr to relinquish his title of Earl of Winton once and for all. Isabel will challenge Robert to a game of living chess, and the two will play for the Earldom and the entertainment of the king's Court! *Filmed in 2019 before COVID19* Presented by LANCE Orlando
