   User ID: M838.

  General Notes:

"Sir Patrick Leslie was never properly Lord Lindores, although he assumed the title. The abbey of Lindores was erected into a temporal lordship only, 31st March 1600, in favour of his son Patrick - Sir Patrick the elder holding only the title of Commendator of Lindores. King James VI. granted a charter, 31st March 1600, in favour of Patrick Leslie, son of Patrick Leslie, Commendator of Lindores, erecting the abbey of Lindores into a temporal lordship, with the title, rank, and vote of a lord of parliament, to be held by the said Patrick and his heirs-male and assigns ; and, 15th November 1600, a parliamentary ratification of this grant was passed in favour of the grantee, designed as Patrick Leslie of Pitcairlies. In 1606 another act of parliament was passed in favour of Patrick Leslie elder, now Lord Lindores, sometime Commendator of Lindores, dissolving the mansion, manor-place, and others, from the temporality of the abbey in the hands of the crown, upon a narrative of the former grant of 1600 to Patrick, now Master of Lindores, styled lawful son of the said Patrick, Lord Lindores, and including him in the benefit of the act. ..... Thus strangely the Commendator of Lindores was Lord Lindores, and his son was only Master of Lindores in 1606, which is utterly incompatible with the grant of 1600."
