Personal Info
He was in 1407 a hostage in the hands of the English for the return to captivity of Archibald, fourth Earl of Douglas. He is described by Bower as 'miles acerrimus, et Anglis, dum vixerat, infestus'. On 24 March 1410-11 he had from Robert, Duke of Albany, Governor of Scotland, a charter of confirmation of the baronies of Seton and Tranent, and the lands of Winchburgh. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners appointed to treat for the liberation of King James I, and he, or alternatively his son and heir, was afterwards nominated a hostage for the payment of the King's ransom, by the treaty of 4 December 1423. His annual income was then estimated at six hundred merks. He was appointed one of the conservators of the seven years' truce concluded 28 March 1424. He died before 1434, as Seton was in ward that year.8
