David Fleming of Biggar - Baron
Isabel Strathechin of Monycabock - Baroness
"?Sir David Fleming was probably that beloved and faithful 'bachellarius' David
Fleming to whom King David II, on 27 October 1362, granted certain annualrents.
From King Robert III he had a charter on 14 March 1390-91 of ÂÐ50 of annualrent due
to the King by the Abbot and convent of the monastery of Holyroodhouse, payable from
the lands of Kerse in Stirlingshire; of the lands of Auchloun, which had been granted
ot him by Thomas of Lask and John of Futhes, son of Allan of Futhes, on 12 August
1392, which charter was confirmed by Euphemia, Countess of Ross, on 1 October
following, and thereafter under the Great Seal on 1 May 1401; and of the lands of
Barbethe, Caslis, Galnethe, and Glentall, in parish of Straiton, Ayrshire, 24 August
1404. To the Abbey of Holyrood he, as son and heir of Sir Malcolm Fleming of Biggar,
granted an annualrent of ÂÐ10, payable from the barony of Kerse, on 20 October
1392, which was confirmed by King Robert III on 7 March 1392-93. He was Deputy of
the Chamberlain, and as such received various payments in 1399. On 10 May 1399
he had a charter under the Great Seal of the lands of Cambusbarron and Blairegis in
Stirlingshire, which had been resigned by Hugh of Aldiston and William of Aldiston,
his son, on 10 May 1399; of the chapels of Kirkintilloch and the lands of Drumtablay,
with the mill thereof, in Dumbartonshire; of the lands of Woodland and Meiklegall in
the barony of Monycabock in Aberdeenshire; and of the lands of Cavers and office of
sheirffship of Roxburgh, which had fallen into the hands of the Crown by reason of
recognition, by disposition of Isabell, Countess of Mar, to Archibald, Earl of Douglas,
on 10 August 1405 without the licence of the King. He mortified the lands of
Drumtablay, with the pertinents and the mill thereof lying in the barony of Lenzie, to
Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin, and to the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin in
Kirkintilloch, for the salvation of his own soul and the souls of his parents, his wife,
and others, which deed was confirmed by charter under the Great Seal on 17 August
1399. He further mortified, with consent of Malcolm his son and heir, the lands of
Mureton for the welfare and souls of Malcolm and Christian, his progenitors and
himself, and Isabella his wife to the Monastery of Cambuskenneth, on 8 November
1399, and certain annualrents to the canons of Holyrood Abbey, where he directed his
burial to be, for pious purposes, among which may be mentioned the reparing of St.
Nicholas's altar and the erection of glass windows with his arms thereon. This grant
is dated 25 November 1399. He was Auditor of Accounts in Exchequer in 1403, and a
Commissioner for a truce with the English 6 July 1404, and he received two payments
of ÂÐ150 on account of two successive embassies to England to take the oath of the
English king in 1405 and 1406. On 24 August 1405 there was an indenture between
him and Alexander Stewart, Earl Of Mar, in reference to the lands of Cavers. He
attended James, Prince of Scotland, to the Bass in February 1405-6, and saw him
safely on board the ship appointed to carry him to France; but on his return home he
was attacked and killed at Longherdmanston, six miles out of Edinburgh, on the 14 of
that month, by James Douglas of Balveny, afterwards seventh Earl of Douglas, at the
instigation, it is said, of the victim's own grandson, Alexander Seton, and was buried
under the altar of St. Nicholas at Holyrood. Of him Wyntoun says: -

?'Schire Davy Flemyng of Cumbirnald
Lord, a Knight stout and bald
Trowit and luvit wel with the King:
This like gud and gentyl Knycht
That was balth manful, lele and wycht.'

?He married, first, Jean, only daughter of Sir David Barclay of Brechin, and had issue.

?Sir David Fleming married, secondly, Isabel, heiress of Monycabock. She may have
been the daughter of that Donald Strathechin and Annabel, his wife, who had a charter
from King David II of the barony of Monycabock and others, in Aberdeenshire, on 16
April 1343.? [The Scots Peerage VIII:527-530]

?The death of Sir David Fleming is attributed by some modern historians to the
malignant resentment of the Duke Of Albany against Fleming, for his reputed
assistance in the escape of Northumberland and the Prince, although, if that were true
in the case of the latter, he unwittingly co-operated in facilitating what one suggests
was a concerted plot between Albany and the English King for the capture of the
Prince. Yet Fleming was allied to the Duke Of Albany by the marriage of his son Sir
Malcolm Fleming and Lady Elizabeth Stewart, Albany's daughter, and was moreover
held in the highest repute by both King Robert and the Duke, and employed by them in
the most weighty concerns of the State. Proof is needed for the assertion that Albany
caused Fleming to be put to death, but none in afforded. Both Wyntoun and Bower
record the circumstances of Fleming's death, yet nowhere is the remotest hint given of
Albany's connection with it; and the language of the latter historian plainly indicated its
cause to have been a private quarrel betwixt Sir Alexander Seton, who afterwards
became Lord of Gordon, and Sir David Fleming. After stating the fact of Sir David's
convoying the Prince to the Bass, and that there was with him a strong party of the
chiefs of the Lothians, he adds that in returning he was pursued by Sir James
Douglas, second son of the Earl of Douglas, and overtaken at Langhirdmanstone
Moor, where, after a severe battle, he was slain on the 14th of February 1406. Divers
nobles and knights were taken, but they were afterwards released. Sir James
Douglas was instigated to the deed by Sir Alexander Seton.? [The Red Book of
Menteith I:191]"

Dumbarton and keeper of that castle, in which capacity payments were made to him
for repairs, and munitions there in 1364 and 1367, and of ÂÐ40 as his fee as keeper
in 1365 and 1366.

?From William Boyd he had an assignation to him and Christian his spouse of the
impignoration of which Thomas made ot him of the barony of Lenzie for ÂÐ80 sterling,

Robert Fleming
Joan DOUGLAS
"From ? My Clan?: ?Nine Flemings signed the Ragman Roll, swearing fealty to
Edward I of England in 1296, although one of the signatories, Sir Robert Fleming, was
among the first to join Robert the Bruce and assist him after the death of the Comyn at
Dumfries in 1306.?

From ?Electric Scotland? : ? Sir Robert Fleming, supposed to have been the son of Sir
Malcolm, was one of the chief men of Scotland who proposed the marriage of the
Princess Margaret of Scotland to Prince Edward at Brigham, 12th March 1289-90.
Although he had sworn fealty to the English monarch, he was among the first to join
Robert the Bruce in his attempt to obtain the crown, and recover the independence, of
Scotland, and assisted at the slaughter of Comyn at Dumfries in 1305. The barony of
Cumbernauld in Lanarkshire, which had belonged to the Comyns, was, with the
barony of Leny, bestowed on him by King Robert. He died before 1314. He had two
sons, Sir Malcolm, his successor, and Sir Patrick Fleming, sheriff of Peebles, who got
the barony of Biggar by his marriage with one of the daughters and coheiresses of the
brave Sir Simon Frazer, lord of Oliver castle, county of Peebles, upon which account
this branch of the Flemings quartered the arms of Frazer with their own.?"

Baldwin DE FLEMING
DE HUNTINGTON
"From ?My Clan?: ?Fleming, derived from the French, ?le Fleming?, indicates the
origin of the family as Flanders. The once-powerful medieval principality is now split
between the Netherlands, Belgium and France. The Flemish were enterprising
merchants who traded with England, Scotland and Wales in the latter part of the
twelfth century. Baldwin, a distinguished Flemish leader, settled with his followers in
Biggar in Lanarkshire, under grant of David I, and he became sheriff of Lanark under
Malcolm IV and William the Lion. This office appears to have been hereditary for some
time.?"
