MAITLAND, William of Thirlestane ¹

   User ID: J916.

  General Notes:

"William (Maitland), whose praises are sung in the Consolator Ballad, under the designation of Burd-alane. In the bond by the Abbot and Convent of Kelso above-mentioned, 1258- 60, he is described as Sir Richard's eldest son, and he must therefore have been born prior to 1260. For the wellbeing of his own soul, and of his father and mother, and his wife, and all his predecessors and successors, he confirmed to the monks of Dryburgh the land of Houbeuchowsyd (Haubentside), 'quam dominus et pater meus Ricardus eisdem declit in territorio de Tliirleston.' About the same time also, as 'Willelmus Mautaland filius Ricardi Matalent,' he confirmed a charter by Henry de Besingham to the same monks."
