• Notes

  Justiciar of Lothian, 1241. Regent in 1255 and the kingdom's chamberlain in 1256. According to both the ODNB (citation details below) and the Scots Peerage (citation details below), he died in Egypt on crusade. Based on this page at People of Medieval Scotland, it would appear that his ancestry as put forward in the Scots Peerage is doubtful.
