Like his wife Creator/RoseLeslie, he is also descended from UsefulNotes/CharlesII. This means he is also technically a relative of UsefulNotes/JamesTheFirst, the target.

He also has a very interesting ancestry: first, there seems to be a link between him and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harington_(writer) John Harington]], [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI Elizabethan]] courtier and the inventor of the flushing toilet. Furthermore, he has familial ties to opposing sides of the [[UsefulNotes/GuyFawkes Gunpowder Plot]]: he is a matrilineal descendant of the ring-leader Robert Catesby (whom he would portray in ''Series/{{Gunpowder}}''), and a patrilineal descendant of the Harington barons--one of whom would've been blown up had they succeeded--and relative of James I, the target.
