THE DUN PAPERS. f) ^,;^?HE\ papers printed in the present Vohime from the Charter Chest at Dun, will be found valuable in many respects. They will enable the genealogist to fill up many gaps in the pedigree of this ancient house, and to correct several mistakes in the exist- ing tables of descent, for which, till now, he had no materials. They contribute many authentic facts illus- trative of the social position of the country, and more especially of that rich district in which the messuage of the family is situated. But perhaps they will be most generally valued for the light which they throw on that " Laird of Dun," who took so active and influential a part in the Scottish Reformation. Regarding this venerable gentleman, whose public services secured to him the esteem and confidence of the various Sovereigns under whose rule he lived, as well as the veneration of the new Church which he laboured to establish, the documents now printed furnish us with a good many new and interesting particulars, more especially in the later stages of his career. It seems likely that the Superintendent was born in 1508, the year in which his great grandfather John Erskine died. His grandfather, John Erskine, and his father of the same name, who had attained the honor of Knighthood, fell along with other members of the family in the X THE EDITOK'S PREFACE. bloody field of Flodden, in 1513.' The testaments, and inventories of goods, of these two gentlemen, as confirmed before the Commissary of St. Andrew's, are now printed, and while they afford evidence of their opulence, they serve to illustrate various particulars of the agricultural arrangements of the time. Sir Jobn Erskine had been married to Margaret, Lady Ruthven, widow of Alexander, second Earl of Buchan, and she, in conjunction with his brother, Thomas Erskine, who afterwards fulfilled many impor- tant functions as Secretary to James V., are confirmed as his executors. It is to be regretted that the materials for illustrating the first part of John Erskine's life are so scanty. Perhaps we may be allowed to see traces of an early connexion between him and the family of Melville, in the Instrument of Sasine in favour of the Provost and Canons of St. Sal- vator's College, dated 14th July, 1526 (p. 23). The precept on which this deed proceeds is granted by Erskine, with consent of Margaret, Coun- tess of Buchan, his mother, and Robert Erskine, Rector of Glenbervy, ' These facts have not hitherto been known, and it has generaUy been supposed that the Superintendents father lived till 1534 or 1535. But considerable confusion has arisen from the number of Lairds who assumed the name of John ; and it was increased by a practice which seems to have prevailed in the family, of vesting the fee of the property in the oldest son, while the father retained the liferent—both of them being designed " of Dun," at the same time. Sir John Erskine is instructed by a charter quoted in the " Notes relating to the Family of Dun," printed in the Appendix to the Preface, and by the inventory of his estate, con- firmed by the Commissary of St. Andrew's, 3d April, 1516, (p. 16.) where he is stvled Sir John Erskine younger of Dun. There is also among the charters of the Burgh of Montrose, an Instrument on the Renun- ciation, by Sir John Erskine of Dun, Knight, in favour of the Hospital of Montrose, of all right which he had to the Hospital's lands of Spittelschiells, lying in the shire of Kincardine, for the reason that the Master wished to build a new church from the foundation, and that the lands were now rather a loss to him than otherwise. He asks the said Master to give a recompense to his brother-german, Tliomas Erskine, for his liferent interest in the lands. The deed is dated in the churchyard of Holyrood, 29th October, 1509, in presence of Mr. Patrick Panter, Secretary to the King, and Principal Master of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary, ne.ar the burgh of Montrose, Henry Graham of Morphy, Walter Foulartown, William Lamb, and John Lyon, laics, Master James Lyon of Inverkeithing. vicar, and Laurence Taillefer, with others. THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. XI (apparently his uncle,) as his curators : and it is addressed to Master Walter Mailuil, Vicar of Kylmaroun, and Richard Mailuil of Baldovey, the latter of whom was father of Andrew Melville, who acted so con- spicuous a part in the troubled ecclesiastical politics of the reign of James VI. Three brothers of the latter were also ministers in the new established church.' A few years after the date of this deed, and when Erskine was still little beyond the years of majority, he appears to have killed Sir Thomas Froster, a priest of Montrose. The Instrument (XV.) which preserves the record of this fact, and of the assythment or manbote paid by him to the father of the deceased, is dated 5th Februarj', 1530. It does not, however, give any of the circumstances, beyond the fact that the deed was committed in the Bell Tower of Montrose ; nor is there any record of the event elsewhere. But however this may have been, it cannot be doubted that the event must have left a painful impression on Erskine's mind, and may have given a bent to his future career. The next deed (XVI.) instructs the marriage of John Erskine with Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of the Earl of Crawford, of which there seems hitherto to have been no evidence ;^ the marriage, however, must have taken place sometime previously, as, on 18th February, 1534-5, he resigned the fee of the Lands of Dun to his son John, reserving his own liferent and his wife's terce.^ In 1537, the Laird of Dun has a licence (XVII.) to himself, his son John, and other relatives, permitting them " to pas to the partis of France, Italie, or any uthiris beyond se, and thair remane, for doing of thair pilgramagis, besynes, and uthir lefull erandis, for the space of thre yeiris." Sir Thomas Erskine obtained from James ^^. (on rather a remarkable ' Life of Andrew Melville, by Dr. M'Crie, vol. i. p. 3. - Wodrow's Biog. to Life of Erskine, 439.

In this last deed there is a minute specifi- cation of the powers and rights of the Constable. In April, 1542, John Erskine of Dun, and others, obtain a licence (XXV.) permitting them " to pas to the partis of Franche, Italie, or ony vthiris beyond sey, and thair to remane for the space of twa yeris Erskine's first wife, Lady Elizabeth Lindsay, died on 29th July, 1538, and the charter (XXVII.) to John Erskine of Dun and Barbara de Beirle, his spouse, by Sir Thomas Erskine, his uncle, dated 20th Sept., 1543, proves that his second marriage had previously occurred. During the years 1548-49, the Laird of Dun supported the Queen Dow- ager and the French party in opposing the English forces, and several letters to Erskine from Mary refer to the passing events, and shew the estima- tion in which he was held by her. From one of them, explanatory of the coming of the French Captain Beauschattel,' it would appear that Erskine had dreaded some attempt against his rights, as her Majesty assures him that there was " no intent but to keep the fort, and not to hurt him in his heritage."* ' This gentleman does not appear as one of the French captains in command of the " forces who arrived in Scotland in June 1548 ; but Guilliaum Bouchettell, lord of Sassie," was one of the French King's Commissioners for arranging a peace in 1550.—(HoUins- head's Scottish Chronicle, vol.

  • Neville's Cross 1346
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Neville's Cross 1346 Neville's Cross (17 October 1346) Parish: Durham, Bearpark District: Durham County: Durham Grid Ref: NZ 263421 (centred on Neville's Cross) Historical Context In 1346 King Edward III invaded France, won a resounding victory at Crécy on 26 August and then set about besieging Calais. To provide a diversion, King Philip of France asked his ally, David II of Scotland, to attack England. Since David was convinced that the bulk of England's fighting men were in France he was ready to accede to the request. Gathering together an army at Perth, David entered England early in October, destroying the pele tower at Liddel and oppressively occupying the priory at Lanercost. The priory at Hexham was sacked next, whereupon the Scots crossed the River Tyne at Ryton and advanced into the Bishopric of Durham. On 16 October they set up camp in the Prince Bishop's manor park of Beaurepaire, or Bearpark, a short distance to the west of Durham city. The possibility that the Scots might intervene in the war between England and France had been anticipated and on 20 August the English Regency issued a proclamation of array, appointing the Archbishop of York, Henry de Percy and Ralph de Neville to command the forces in the north. By 16 October the three leaders had assembled an army at Auckland Park, eight miles south of Durham. When, early next morning, the English advanced, a 500 strong Scottish raiding party commanded by Sir William Douglas received a rude surprise, as the Lanercost Chronicle recounts: While the Scots were plundering the town of Merrington, suddenly the weather became inclement, with thick fog.

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

  • Lady Katherine Gordon, the Wife of Perkin Warbeck, Is As Questionable As the Identity of Her Husband
    LadyKatherine Gordon: A GenealogicalPuzzle WENDY E. A. MOORHEN It is a curious quirk of history that the descent of Lady Katherine Gordon, the wife of Perkin Warbeck, is as questionable as the identity of her husband. The controversy of Lady Katherine's descent stems from the question of who was her mother? Was Lady Katherine the daughter of the Earl of Huntly’s second wife, Princess Annabella Stewart (a daughter of James I) or his third wife, Lady Elizabeth Hay (a daughter of the first earl of Erroll)? Lady Katherine mam'ed the pretender to the English throne a few weeks after Warbeck had arrived in Scotland. He was welcomed as Richard, Duke of York and granted a generous pension by the Scottish king. James IV sealed their friendship and alliance by providing one of his own cousins as Warbeck’s bride. The consequence of Elizabeth Hay being Lady Katherine’s mother, as opposed to the- Stewart princess, has been described as ‘dramatically diminish[ing] the significance of James’ [IV of Scotland] gesture by seriously reducing the status of his proffered bride, and thus of the level of his own support of Perkin." Elizabeth Hay should not be dismissed too hastily, however, as she was descended from two daughters of King Robert II. As well as being politically advantageous for Warbeck, the marriage may well have been a love match. A letter has survived in the Spanish archives which is now attributed to Warbeck and written to his future wife, ‘I shall, perhaps, be the happiest of all your admirers, and the happiest man on eanh, since I have reason to hope you will think me worthy of your love’.2 On 6 July 1497 Warbeck left Scotland and sailed for Ireland accompanied by his wife who chose to share the precarious adventure upon which her husband was about embark.

  • Scotland: Bruce 286
    Scotland: Bruce 286 Scotland: Bruce Robert the Bruce “Robert I (1274 – 1329) the Bruce holds an honored place in Scottish history as the king (1306 – 1329) who resisted the English and freed Scotland from their rule. He hailed from the Bruce family, one of several who vied for the Scottish throne in the 1200s. His grandfather, also named Robert the Bruce, had been an unsuccessful claimant to the Scottish throne in 1290. Robert I Bruce became earl of Carrick in 1292 at the age of 18, later becoming lord of Annandale and of the Bruce territories in England when his father died in 1304. “In 1296, Robert pledged his loyalty to King Edward I of England, but the following year he joined the struggle for national independence. He fought at his father’s side when the latter tried to depose the Scottish king, John Baliol. Baliol’s fall opened the way for fierce political infighting. In 1306, Robert quarreled with and eventually murdered the Scottish patriot John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, in their struggle for leadership. Robert claimed the throne and traveled to Scone where he was crowned king on March 27, 1306, in open defiance of King Edward. “A few months later the English defeated Robert’s forces at Methven. Robert fled to the west, taking refuge on the island of Rathlin off the coast of Ireland. Edward then confiscated Bruce property, punished Robert’s followers, and executed his three brothers. A legend has Robert learning courage and perseverance from a determined spider he watched during his exile. “Robert returned to Scotland in 1307 and won a victory at Loudon Hill.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.
