Personal Info
He was 'a mirror of chivalry'. He was apparently knighted between Martinmas 1448-1449, and certainly before the later date. Had a grant of the wardships of half Simonstoun and Bernvile, 1456, and the same year was appointed Warden of Thrieve Castle on its surrender to the King, but was shortly afterwards removed to Dumbarton Castle. He was appointed by James III one of the envoys to treat with the English ambassador 11 April 1464, and concluded a fifteen years' truce at York, January 1464-65. He occurs as a witness 10 February and 24 March 1465, and 28 November following was again one of the Scottish envoys appointed to meet the English ambassador at Newcastle on 4 December. In 1466 he was appointed to superintend the knightly exercises of the young King. On the downfall of his brother he remained in Scotland, being ill, appeared before Parliament to answer the charges made against him, and was attainted, and executed on the Castle Hill at Edinburgh 22 November 1469.5
