General Notes:
"Third but eldest surviving son, and heir to his elder brother William Lauder, Bishop of Glasgow, Chancellor of Scotland, as well as their father. See the Donation Charter of Robert de Lawedre to Glasgow Cathedral dated 1st August, 1414, which this Robert witnessed as his father's third son.[1Registrum Glasguense, vol.2, p.304. National Records of Scotland.]"
from Wikitree article
"Sir Robert de Lawedre of Edrington, and from 1425, The Bass, &c., Justiciary South of the Forth. He died just before Michaelmas 1451. (Third son in the Registrum Glasguense charter)."
"Alan's eldest (but second surviving) brother, Sir Robert, became Lord of The Bass (Dominus de la Bass) and was Justiciary of the Lothians South of the Forth.
There are many documents in the archives pertaining to this Robert; he witnesses Royal charters as well as those of the nobility and, like his father and grandfather, was a Burgess of Edinburgh. Between 1425 and 1433 Sir Robert was Governor of Edinburgh Castle. His name appears on the board of governors today on public display in The Great Hall of the castle. Just before his death (1451) he witnessed a charter of George de Dunbar, Earl of March, to 'Lord Patrick de Dunbar de Bele, militi', his son, signed in the castle of Bele [Biel], Haddingtonshire."
