The terminus post quem and lynchpin of their evidence was the following passage from the beginning of Book II chapter 9 in John of Fordun’s Chronica Gentis Scotorum, which they dated variously from the 1360s to the 1390s:1 The character of the Scots however varies according to the difference in language. For they have two languages, namely the Scottish language (lingua Scotica) and the Teutonic language (lingua Theutonica).
  • Castletown List 55

    Castletown List 55

    National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

This is particularly surprising when one considers it is perhaps the closest Scottish parallel to the Edinburgh foundation. Founded in April 1593 by George Keith, fifth Earl Marischal in the burgh of New Aberdeen ‘to do the utmost good to the Church, the Country and the Commonwealth’,1 like Edinburgh Marischal was a new type of institution that had more in common with the Protestant ‘arts colleges’ springing up across the continent than with the papally sanctioned Scottish universities of St Andrews, Glasgow and King’s College in Old Aberdeen.2 James Kirk is the most recent in a long line of historians to argue that the impetus for founding ‘ane college of theologe’ in Edinburgh in 1579 was carried forward by the radical presbyterian James Lawson, which led to the eventual opening on 14 October 1583 of a liberal arts college in the burgh, as part of an educational reform programme devised and rolled out across the Scottish universities by the divine and educational reformer, Andrew Melville.3 However, in a self-professedly revisionist article Michael Lynch has argued that the college settlement was far more protracted and contingent on burgh politics than the simple insertion of a one-size 1 Fasti Academiae Mariscallanae Aberdonensis: Selections from the Records of the Marischal College and University, MDXCIII–MDCCCLX, ed.

    SC5». S, f # I PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY THIRD SERIES VOLUME LI WIGTOWNSHIRE CHARTERS I960 WIGTOWNSHIRE CHARTERS Edited by R. C. REID, LL.D. EDINBURGH Printed by T. and A. Constable Ltd. Printers to the University of Edinburgh for the Scottish History Society 1960 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE This volume represents some ten years voluntary work undertaken for the National Register of Archives since that body was first formed. It has involved the examination, calendaring and indexing of all documents prior to the year 1600 of the following collections presently lodged in the Register House: Charters of the Earl of Galloway, Lochnaw (Agnew) Charters, Logan (McDowell) Charters, and Barnbarroch (Vaus) Charters; in addition to the following collections, still in private hands, Mochrum Park (Dunbar) Charters, Myrton (McCulloch) Charters, Monreith (Maxwell) Charters, the Craichlaw and Shennanton Papers, and the Cardoness and Kirkconnell Charters, as well as much unpublished material in the Scottish Record Office. I have to express my thanks to the owners and custodians for giving me the necessary access and facilities. In the presentation and editing of these documents I have received ready assistance from many quarters, but I would fail in my duty if I did not mention especially Mrs. A. I. Dunlop, LL.D., and Dr. Gordon Donaldson, who have ungrudgingly drawn on their wide experience as archivists, and Mr. Athol Murray, LL.B., of the Scottish Record Office, who has called my attention to documents and entries in the public records and even undertaken a search of the Registers of the Archbishops of York.

PREFATORY NOTICE. The following historical Memoir lias been selected by the Editor as the subject of his contribution to The Abbotsford Club—as well from the consideration of the interesting, but still obscure, period of Scottish history to which it refers, and which it materially tends to illustrate in many minute parti- culars—as from the fact that the transcript, or rather abridg- ment, of the original j\IS. by Lord Herries, now belonging to the Faculty of Advocates, is nearly all that is known to have been preserved of the valuable historical Collections made by the members of the Scots College of Douay, which, unfortu- nately, appear to have been totally destroyed during the French Revolution.

    An Armorial of Some Ancestors' Arms

    An Armorial of some Ancestors’ Arms Ancestors‟ Arms (nobility and gentry) ………………………………………………. 1 - 53 Some Arms of Ancestors belonging to the Royal Houses of Europe……….. 53 – 59 Some Arms of the Cadet Branches of the Stewarts of Garlies………………. 60 – 61 Descent of Lilias Stewart of Shambellie from James IV of Scotland………… 62 Descents from Mary Stewart, Princess of Scotland (daughter of Robert III)... 63 “There is a fondness that is implanted in the minds of men, and which has always been held in the highest veneration, to derive and trace down their descent from progenitors of virtuous character and heroic worth and to perpetuate in their families the memory of these ancestral honours and of royal esteem which their valour and extraordinary services had so conspicuously merited and received. And as the great respect thus shown to noble birth and ancient descent reflects so much honour on its possessors, so also are connected with it those proud emblems of armorial family history, and which tends so correctly to point out and preserve the observance of a due and requisite subordination between the several ranks and degrees of mankind.” (Nicholas Carlisle, 1822). d‟Aubigny/Fitzalan (Earls of Arundel) The descent is from Alice Fitzalan, the daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel (1305-75/76) and Eleanor of Lancaster (1318-71/72). Alice married Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent (d. 1397). One of their great- great grandchildren was King Richard III (1452-85). Crichton (of Sanquhar, Lords Crichton of Sanquhar from 1487/88 and Earls of Dumfries from 1663) The descent is from of Sir Robert Crichton of Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire who died 1478-79.
