  Marriage Notes:

"King Robert II confirmed other charters by William, Earl of Douglas, Lord of the Regality of Lawedre, to Alan de Lawedre and Elizabeth, his wife, and the survivor of them and their heirs and assignees. 6th December 1372.[23 National Records of Scotland, GD436/1/8 - 9.] These charters are the first which mention Alan's second wife, Elizabeth. Findlater-Maxwell is confident that she is the daughter of John de Haltoun who had resigned Haltoun in 1377.[24 Maxwell-Findlater, Alexander, The Armorial of Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount, Heraldry Society of Scotland, Edinburgh, 2018, vol.ii, p.165.]"

"On 26th July 1377 King Robert II confirmed to Alan de Lawedre, the estate of Haltoun, in Ratho, Edinburghshire, upon the resignation of John de Haltoun. In this charter Alan's wife is again referred to as Elizabeth. In 1381 he also received Brownisfelde [now Bruntisfield] at Edinburgh. A further charter under the Great Seal granted to Alan de Lawedre the lands of Boroughmuir at Edinburgh, then possessed by William de Lauder, late brother of Alan.[²⁶ Charter 724 of King Robert II dated 4th June in either 1381, 1382 or 1383 (it is unclear).]"

"The earliest known proprietor (of Haltoun House, Ratho) John de Haltoun sold the property on 26 July 1377 when Robert II confirmed it upon a court favourite, Alan de Lawedre of Whitslaid, Berwickshire.[² Register of The Great Seal of Scotland, no. 724.] Alan and his first wife, Alicia, daughter of Sir Colin Campbell of Lochawe, already owned (1371) the adjoining lands of Norton.[³ Robertson, Index of Records of Charters granted by Sovereigns of Scotland between 1309 and 1413 (Edinburgh, 1798).][⁴ James Balfour Paul, The Scots' Peerage, vol. 1 (Edinburgh, 1904), 'Argyll', p. 326.] George de Lawedre of Haltoun, Provost of Edinburgh, Alan's second son by his second wife, Elizabeth, was put in fee of Hattoun in 1393. He died in 1430 and left only daughters as co-heirs. His brother, Sir Alexander Lauder became the ancestor of the Hattoun cadet branch.[⁵ G. Lauder-Frost, Lauder Arms, in The Double Tressure (Edinburgh, 2007), pp. 25-6.] The first laird of Hattoun is sometimes said to be Sir George de Lawedre who married Helen Douglas, a sister of Lord Douglas, daughter of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas, 'The Grim' (d. 1400).[⁶ J. Stewart Smith (1898)]"
