• Notes

  "He was knighted about 1288, before which date the suffix of miles is always wanting, thus distinguishing him from his father, who was knighted before 1249. He was a justice-itinerant in the year 1279, when he and three others held courts at Werke in Tyndale. He witnessed charters in 1265 and 1266, and was a member of the Council held at Scone on 5 February 1283-84. He was keeper of the forests of Traquair and Selkirk. He swore fealty to King Edward I at Norham on 14 June 1291, and was appointed on the part of Baliol one of the auditors who were to hear the pleadings of the Competitors for the Crown, and to report thereon. He died in 1291, when the King granted his keepership of the forests to William Comyn; he left a widow Maria, who married subsequently Richard Siward."
