Document 1/53/11 (RRS, v, no. 8)
- Description
- Robert, king of Scots, addresses the sheriff and bailies of Forres: wishing to cleave to the memory of the illustrious kings of Scots, his predecessors, he does not wish to be indecisive and also wants to continue the grace and favour which the kings conveyed by love to the abbot and convent of Kinloss (MOR). Therefore, he mandates and firmly orders the sheriff and bailies, in faith and law, that they are not to impede, nor are they to permit any other person to impede, the abbot and convent of Kinloss or their men, so that the monks may be able to dig, to drag, and redirect the burn of Mosset (MOR), from the middle of the king’s land as far as their house of Kinloss, which they have from the gift of the king’s predecessors, and which the king gives and makes firm in perpetuity to them by this his present charter. Anyone who goes against the king’s wishes faces his full forfeiture.
