• Notes

  Earl of Menteith. "With his younger brother Piers, he was hostage in 1296 for his father’s ?delity to Edward I. He (or possibly his father), as Earl of Menteith, was summoned to join the division commanded by the Prince of Wales, at Dunfermline, in the English invasion of 1303. He supported Bruce in his bid for the Scottish throne, 1306, and was one of the hostages for the safety of the Earl of Strathern, who had previously been carried off to Inchmahome, and forced to do homage to Bruce. Edward escheated the Earldom of Menteith, and granted it (22 May) to John de Hastinges, to whose custody the Earl was committed in Nov. following." [Complete Peerage, citation details below]
