  • Notes 
    • 5th earl of Strathearn.

      "[F]irst appears upon record as one of those Scottish nobles who, about August 1244, promised to observe the treaty of 1237, already referred to, and he was present in the Parliament of Scotland in February 1244-45. He was one of those Earls who took part in the coronation of the young King Alexander III, and he supported the party of the English King in the change of government on 20 September 1255. He was high in favour with King Henry III, and was deputed by him to attend specially on the young Queen of Scotland. He had a safe-conduct from the English King to go abroad in May 1259, but had returned in the following year. His grants to the monastery of Inchaffray were considerable. In 1247 he confirmed the gifts of his predecessors. In December 1257 he bestowed on the monks the advowson of the church of Cortachy in Forfarshire, which he had acquired by marriage, and in March following he gave certain serfs to them in property. In 1266 he gave them rights of building from the quarry of Nethergask; in 1268 and 1270 he granted certain annual rents, and he died between that and 23 November 1271. One chronicler says that he died in France, praising him as a man distinguished by birth and generosity, and munificent above all his compatriots. His remains were brought home to Scotland and buried in Dunblane." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below]
