MORTIMER, Hugh of Fowlis Easter ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

"Between 1165 and 1169 the chapel (of Fowlis) was confirmed to the canons as a gift of Bishop Arnold in King William's confirmation of the priory's possessions.(6) It was probably around this time that William Maule yielded to the seemingly inevitable and 'gave' the canons his chapel of Fowlis, along with all the rights in land and teinds which he had earlier assigned to his nephew, Thomas,(7) receiving in return an 'obit' and the promise of a right of burial in the cathedral-priory. Thomas's interest in the church was restated between 1189 and 1199 by William Maule's son-in-law and successor as lord of Fowlis, Roger Mortimer, who repeated William's arrangements including the annual payment of one merk due to the canons of St Andrews.(8) Then, between c.1225 and 1235, Hugh Mortimer, grandson of William Maule, confirmed the canons' possession of Fowlis in almost a repeat of his grandfather's original charter."
