| As 'sone lauchfull to Robert, Lord Sempill,' he had a gift under the Privy Seal of the escheat of John Hamilton, Archbishop of St. Andrews, on 12 July 1568. He was one of the substitutes after his nephew and brother Andrew, and before his brother John of Beltries, in the charter by his father, dated 8 November 1572, and was therefore most probably a son of the marriage with Isabel Hamilton. He was named as a hostage to Queen Elizabeth on behalf of the Scots 18 April 1573, when he is stated to be his father's second lawful son living, of the age of thirty-six years or thereby. He died before 7 February 1587-88, possibly without issue, for the lands of Bruntschiells are said to have been granted in 1560 by his father to Andrew, his elder brother.4 | ||
