General Notes:
"it is beyond peradventure that ... Lord Simon was with King David at the batle of Durham and Anno 1346.
narrowly escaped with his life ; for he went south with the Earles of Sutherland, Ros, Murray, who were all at that fight; and it is sure he would never part with Sir John Randalfe Earle of Murray, who died in that field. But it is sure my Lord Lovat returnd home, was cured of his wounds, yet died young, in the 47 yeare of his age, and his lady Julia never married, and was the first dowager of Lovat that lived at Kirkhill..."

Lord Lovat, Simon, being about 20 yeares of age, served and retoured to his father, married Julia Ross, sister to Hugh, Earl of Rosse ; they were truly Saintclares or Sinclares, but now from the heritage country they assume the name Rosse. With this lady the Lord Lovat had 4 sones. 1. Hugh, by the godfather, Hugh Earle of Ross, who was fostered with the Mackrayes in Clune. 2. sone John, died in 6 yeares of age. 3. sone Alexander, proved an excellent spirit, traveled abroad, a great souldiour. 4. sone Andrew, educat with the monks in Beuly.

This Lord Lovat was in great favour with King David Bruce ; and frequently with him, after his return from England, in most of his expeditiones, and it was said that the Lords of Lovat gaind nothing by their loyalty but honor and credit, which they ever studied to preserve."
