  • Notes 
    • "[H]e is styled Sir Norman of Leslie, knight, as a witness to a charter in the Register of Arbroath, of uncertain date, but not later than 1269. There is no other mention of Sir Norman until 1296, when he did homage to King Edward I at Aberdeen on 15 July in that year, and again on 28 August. He appears in the earlier part of the struggle for independence to have joined the English party, as Edward I appointed him Sheriff of Aberdeen, and he was summoned to the English Parliament as such in 1305. He is said, however, to have joined Bruce before December 1314. [...] His wife is not certainly known. One authority asserts that he married Elizabeth Leith, heiress of Edengarioch, while another alleges that he married the heiress of Rothes." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below]

      "He sat in the Parl. sum. by Bruce to Cambuskenneth, Dec. 1314." [Complete Peerage, citation details below]
