- Description
- Robert, king of Scots, since he has granted to his beloved and faithful Malcolm, earl of Lennox, the land of ‘Strathoune’ [Stratha’an, BNF] through the forfeiture of David of Strathbogie, knight, former earl of Atholl, at the time when Duncan, earl of Fife, of whom the land is held in chief, was acting against the king’s peace, for which land Malcolm did homage to the king, and after this the king granted the earl of Fife all his lands and tenements with tenancies and freeholders in the kingdom of Scotland hereditarily, and since the said Malcolm by right is not held to do homage to the earl of Fife, he grants to the same earl of Fife the occasion of homage to him made by Malcolm for the same land, with wards, reliefs, or homages, or anything else pertaining to the earldom of Fife, no prejudice against he or his heirs is engendered, although he is free and quit of everything that was owed for the same in old times.
