• Notes

  "SIR HENRY ST. CLAIR of Roslin was one of whose who swore fealty to Edward I on 13 June 1292. He, however, was one of the garrison of Dunbar Castle, where he was taken prisoner, sent to England, and on 16 May 1296 was removed to St. Briavels Castle, but on 7 April 1299 was exchanged for Sir William Fitz-Warin, and taken from Gloucester to York 16 February 1299, apparently on his way to Scotland. About 15 September 1305 he was appointed Sheriff of Lanark by Edward I, and on 30 September 1307 was ordered by him to assist the Earl of Richmond and march into Galloway against Robert Bruce, and further, on 14 December following was begged to keep the peace in Scotland. He, however, supported Bruce, and fought against the English at Bannockburn. In recognition of his services he had a charter from King Robert on 21 October 1314, of all His Majesty's lands on the Muir of Pentland in free warren, and a further charter from Edward de Gourton of part of the lands of Gourton, tenanted by Roger de Hauewood, dated the Friday after the feast of St. Bartholomew, 28 August 1317. He was one of the Barons of Scotland who signed the letter dated 4 April 1320 to Pope John XXII, asserting the independence of Scotland, in which letter he is called 'panetarius.'"
