| He is called son and heir of 'domini Eynieri de Maxwell' in an undated charter (about 1266) of William of Coninburcht, acquired the lands of Pencaitland, Edinburghshire, in 1276. He joined with other magnates in recognising Margaret of Norway as successor to Alexander III, and in proposing a marriage between her and the eldest son of Edward I of England, and he was one of the auditors for Baliol in the competition for the Crown after her death. He swore fealty to Edward I at Montrose, 10 July, and again as of the 'counte de Dunfres' at Berwick-on-Tweed, 28 August 1296 ; later he rebelled, but returning to his allegiance, had his manor of Maxwell restored to him. If Sir William Fraser has estimated correctly the dates of his charters mentioned in the account of his brother John, he was perhaps living in the summer of 1300, when Edward I besieged and took Carlaverock Castle, but the Terregles MS. history says that he fell at Falkirk in 1298.4 | ||
