| Named no doubt after his uncle and cousin, is also referred to as the brother of David, Earl of Atholl, but he does not appear on record till May 1336, when he had a grant of the ward of the lands of Mitford and Marderfen in Northumberland, which had belonged to his brother. He is usually described as Adomar, or Sir Adomar, of Atholl. He accompanied King Edward in. abroad in 1338, and in 1344 he received a commission to array the men of Tynedale, where his lands lay, for service on the Marches. In 1360 he received from his nephew, David, Earl of Atholl, the manor of Felton, held by Marie de Pol, Countess of Pembroke, a grant afterwards ratified by the Countess and King Edward. In 1381 he was knight of the shire or M.P. for Northumberland, and later he is referred to as Sheriff of the County. He held an annuity of 40 from King Edward in., which he enjoyed for many a year after the death of that monarch.7 | ||
