Pro dolor! Patricius de Athedle filius Thomæ de Galwedia et comitis de Adthedle, juvenis egregius et quantum ad humanam oppinionem omni curiali sapientia et facescia imbutus, apud Hadingtone in hospitio suo de nocte postquam se sopori dedisset, per consilium quorundam malignancium nequiter perimitur, cum duobus sociis suis.... Post cujus tamen obitum, David de Hastinges accepit ejus comitatum provenientem sibi ex parte uxoris sue, que erat matertera juvenis occisi.—_Chron. Mel._ Footnote 89: The history of these ancient earldoms is very inaccurately given by the Peerage-writers, and none more so than that of the earldom of Caithness. These errors will be found corrected in Appendix No. V. Footnote 90: Palgrave, _Documents_, pp. 14, 15. Footnote 91: Vol. i. p. 483. Footnote 92: Vol. i. p. 486. Footnote 93: See charter by David II., confirming in 1368 to Archibald Campbell, son of Colin, the lands of Craignish, Melfort, and others, with all the liberties thereof, as freely as Duncan Mac Duine, progenitor of the said Archibald Campbell, enjoyed the same in the barony of Lochaw, or other lands belonging to him.—_His. Com._, 4 Report, p. 40. The first Campbell on record is Gillespie Campbell in 1266, and this Duncan was his grandfather. Footnote 94: Rymer’s _Fœdera_, vol. i. p. 257.

Footnote 96: Quo tempore septem Comites Scotiae, viz. de Bowan, de Meneteth, de Stradeherne, de Lewenes, de Ros, de Athel, de Mar, ac Johannes filius Johannis Comyn de Badenau, collecto exercitu valido in valle Annandie, feria secunda Paschæ Angliam ingressi, vastabant omnia cæde et incendio, et non parcentes ætati vel sexui venientes Carleolum urbem, ipsam obsidione cinxerunt.—Willelmi Rishanger _Chronica_, p. 156.

Footnote 101: _Regiam Majestatem_, p. i. Footnote 102: This word _feodofirma_, called feu-farm in Scotland and fee-farm in England, is usually understood as meaning what is inconsistently called a hereditary lease, but it was not so at least in Scotland. It was a grant of the _feodum_ or fee of the estate, and not merely of the usufruct, burdened with an annual payment of a _firma_ or _census_, instead of military service.—See Fordun, vol. ii. p. 414 note. Footnote 103: This subject will be more fully discussed in a subsequent chapter. Footnote 104: _Chart. Aberdeen_, vol. i. p. 55. Footnote 105:
