• Notes

  On the death of King Alexander III in 1285, six guardians were appointed to carry om the affirs of the kingdom. Three years later on of the guardians, Duncan, Earl of Fife, was waylayed and murdered by Sir Patrick de Abernethy and Sir Walter de Percy. This was instigated by Sir William de Abernethy. The consequences to the perpetrators of this outrage were serious. Sir Patrick fled to France and died in exile; Percy was captured and executed and Sir Williams, as stated by historians Fordum and Wyntoun, to have been imprisoned in Douglas Castle for life. This, however, is a mistake; it was more probably Sir Hugh, as head of the family and chief instigator in the whole affair, who was imprisoned as is shown by two documents. Sir Hugh was assumed to have died in prison as nothing more is recorded of him.
