from Poms website


"He was with Bruce at the Kirk of the Greyfriars in Dumfries on February 10, 1306 when the Red Comyn was killed. (Sir Christopher) Seton killed Comyn's uncle, Edmund/Robert, when he attacked Bruce. Within weeks Seton was captured, with his brothers John and Humphrey, at Loch Doon Castle. The three were taken to Dumfries where they were drawn, hanged and quartered on a small hill where St Mary's church now stands. Christian Bruce erected a chapel on the site in memory of her husband. Seton's lands in Annandale went to Robert Felton."
