DE LAVEDRE (LAUDER), Joannes 2nd son of Laudertown 1
General Notes: "In 1057 Malcolm Canmore gave Sir Robert de Lavedre extensive lands in East Lothian and Berwickshire for assisting him recover his crown from Macbeth. Included in these lands was the lower part of the Bass, and Tyninghame. Numerous sources, including The Bass Rock (1847) state that the Lauders are the earliest recorded proprietors of the island. However, that is not entirely true, as The Church owned the upper half of the Bass owing to the fact that an obscure pious Scottish saint, Baldred, died there in 606 A.D. The Church would not grant this part of the Bass to the Lauders until 1316. Joannes married. |
