  General Notes:

Sir Thomas, as he seems to have been knighted as well as his father, was present when his sovereign, William the Lion, was taken prisoner at Alnwick in 1173. He died about the same time as King William, that is 1214, and was succeeded by his son. (biographies/gordon.htm



"SIR THOMAS OF GORDON, the date of whose accession cannot be clearly stated, as his charters are all undated. He confirmed his father's grants to the Abbey of Kelso. He also made, before 1232, generous gifts to the nuns of Coldstream of flocks of sheep, with pigs and cattle and common pasture. He received the rank of knighthood, as he is called miles in a charter by his son, dated after 1232, and he seems to have died about that date."
