General Notes:
"Born around 1522; on the 27th of December 1554, he was granted a charter of the lands and Barony of Lundie by his father. This was confirmed under the great seal on the 5th of January the following year.
Shortly after William's father's imprisonment by Mary Queen of Scots in 1565, as a result of Walter's religious beliefs and his request for Mary not perform Mass in his house, William, along with Andrew Murray of Balviard; Patrick Lermonth of Daisy; Andrew Wood, younger of Largo; Thomas Scott of Abbotshall; and Alexander Traill of Blebo; were all ordered by the King and Queen into ward, north of the river Dee:
With the abdication of Queen Mary in June of 1567, and ruled by the protestant party, the Lundie family, having long professed these religious beliefs again gained favour. William was to be appointed to several high offices, and perform important duties, especially in relation to the religious reformation."
