He was present with Sir William Wallace at the battle of Stirling Bridge on the 11 September, and there received a fatal wound. That he was not killed outright is proved by a letter dated 11 October 1297, addressed to the Mayor and Commons of Lubeck and Hamburg, by Andrew of Moray and William Wallace as leaders of the army of the Kingdom of Scotland, while letters of protection to the monks of Hexham, dated 7 November, also run in both names. The exact date of this hero's death is not known.
Personal Info
Taken prisoner along with his father at the siege of Dunbar in April 1296, he was liberated after a few months' captivity in Chester Castle, and immediately afterwards rejoined the patriotic party in Scotland. Lord Hailes' remarks that the only baron who adhered to Sir William Wallace when the nobles tamely submitted to the English monarch at Irvine on 9 July 1297, was Sir Andrew Murray of Bothwell, but this must have been the younger Andrew, as at that time Sir Andrew, brother of Sir William of Bothwell, was detained a prisoner in the Tower of London. His sou was certainly with Wallace in the north, as the Bishop of Aberdeen, writing to King Edward on 24 and 25 July 1297, refers to the part taken in the insurrection by Andrew of Moref, sou of Sir Andrew, 'with a very large body of rogues.' On 28 August in the same year, King Edward granted at Tunbridge a letter of safe-conduct to Andrew, son of Andrew of Moray, extending to the feast of St. Michael (September 29) to visit his father in the Tower, but if this was an attempt to draw away the younger Andrew from the champion of Scottish independence, it did not succeed.5
