"The career of the young Earl (Patrick of Atholl) was tragically cut short a few years later, in 1242, after a tournament at Haddington. Some time before this Earl Patrick had, in a tournament on the English border, overthrown Biset (5 Name not given, but probably William.) of Upsetlington, a misfortune which apparently rankled in Biset's mind. He found an opportunity of revenge at Haddington, when after the mimic fight of the day, the Earl of Atholl being asleep in his lodging at the west end of the High Street on the south, a party of Biset's faction slew the Earl with two of his companions, and to hide their crime set fire to the house."
