found: Crichton, D. The Admirable Crichton, 1988:p. 2 (James Crichton, b. 19th Aug. 1560 at Eliock, Dumfriesshire; son of Robert Crichton, Lord Advocate of Scotland) p. 23-28 (while in the service of the Duke of Mantua in Italy, Crichton was fatally stabbed in a street brawl by the Duke's son, Prince Vincenzo Gonzaga, on the evening of the 3rd of July, 1582) p. 30 (doubts as to the precise date of Crichton's tragic end may be explained by the fact that there was another James Crichton in Italy at that time)
