| He is stated by the Peerage writers to have been the son of the previous Laird, but it is more probable that he was a younger brother. He had succeeded to the family estates before his second marriage in 1381, and was knighted between that date and 13 February 1389-90, when he appears with the title as an arbiter in a dispute between the Abbot of Cambuskenneth and William Fentoun. In the Act of Parliament passed in January 1399, appointing the Duke of Rothesay King's Lieutenant for three years, Sir John Livingston is named as one of the Duke's Council. He appears to have been among the feudal Barons whose support to the Crown was secured by the payment of annuities out of the Royal Exchequer. Sir John was one of the auditors of the accounts of custumars and bailies in the beginning of July 1402, and of the account of Robert, Duke of Albany, Chamberlain of Scotland, on the 13 of the same month.12 | ||
