BOYD, James 2nd Lord Boyd 1
Cause of his death was killed in a feud.1 User ID: A837. General Notes: "James, second Lord Boyd, only son of Thomas, Earl of Arran, and grandson and heir of the first Lord Boyd. He was restored to the property by two charters, dated 14 October 1482, to his mother in liferent and to himself in fee, of the lands of Kilmarnock and others in Ayrshire; Teylyng and Brechty in Forfarshire ; Caverstoun in Roxburghshire ; Naristoun in Lanarkshire and Polgavy in Perthshire, and had instrument of sasine on these as 'James, Lord Boyd,' in the barony of Kilmarnock, 22 October following, and in the lands of Monfod, Kilbryd, Flat, Ravisdalemure, Dairy, 25 October, and in those of Ormscleuch, Chapelton, Bollynschaw, Dririg, etc., 26 October. Previous writers say that he was not restored as Lord Boyd, but it seems plain from this that they are wrong, and that his grandfather, having died between Easter 1480-81 and 14 October 1482, he was allowed by the King, his uncle, to take the title. He is named James, Lord Boid, as a witness to a charter January 1483-84." |
