A35066	A vindication of Robert III, King of Scotland from the imputation of bastardy, by the clear proof of Elizabeth Mure (daughter to Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan) her being the first lawful wife of Robert the II, then Stewart of Scotland and Earl of Strathern by George, Viscount of Tarbat, &c. ...	Cromarty, George Mackenzie, Earl of, 1630-1714.	1695 (1695)	Wing C7027; ESTC R6005	24,829	54

Son and Heir of our Soveraign Lord the KING his Father should be their KING And with Hands lifted up to Heaven in token of their sincerity promised that they should have and esteem him after the death of his Father for their future KING by the strength of Almighty GOD and that they should Defend and Assist him with all their Might against all deadly Which things being so done the s●ids bishops Earls and Barons there present did Append and put their Seals to this Decree for ever In testimony of all the Premisses together with the Sign and Sub●tion of the publick Clerk under-subscribing These things were done at the Abbacy of Scoon Day Moneth and year of GOD above-written c. Here is only the Most authentick Evident which perhaps Europe can shew giving an irrefragable Proof that John afterwards called Robert eldest Son to Elizabeth Mure was in the first year of his Fathers Reign owned and acknowledged as his eldest lawful Son and Heir and undoubted Successor to the Crown and that in the lifetime of Queen Eupheme to which her Son in law the Earl of Douglass his Seal amongst others is appended And therefore Elizabeth Mure his Mother was lawful Wife to Robert Earl of Strathern afterwards KING and consequently it is false that these Children were only legitimat by King Roberts marrying their Mother after Queen Euphems death and after the third year of his Reign And that the Act of Parliament recognizing Iohn as such was past in the fourth year of the said King's Reign This solemn Act and authentick Record yet extant doth evidence to a Demonstration to the dishonour of those negligent Historiographers who did write so confidently what this Act and Instrument doth so clearly canvel Nor is it so by this great Act only but by very many other authentick Documents standing in Record as a Charter granted on the 13 th of Iune Anno Regni primo to Allan Lawder of Whitsled and the other Charters before mentioned and twenty others not mentioned which all bear Record that in the first year of King Robert the seconds Reign and in Queen Euphems Lifetime the KING the Prelats the Lords and all who received Charters from the King did look on the said John as his undoubted eldest Son and Heir Earl of Carrick and STEWART of SCOTLAND and the Charters granted to and received by Queen Eupheme by her Son David and her Son Walter for services to the King and his Heirs do carry in them John is the undoubted eldest Son and Heir Albeit what is said seems demonstrative enough yet to leave no part of this injurious Lybel unransaked We shall next shew that before Robert the second yea very many years before whilst he was Earl of Strathern and STEWART of SCOTLAND JOHN his Son was owned by him and by the whole Nation as his eldest Son and Heir There is a Charter wherein Robertus Senescallus Scotiae Comes de Strathern Joannes Senescallus filius noster primo-genius Haeres confirm a Mortification made by Reginaldus More Pater Wilielmi More Equitis to the Abbacy of Pasly recorded in their Register which tho' it want a Date yet there follows in the same Register a Charter given by the said Robert Senescallus Scotiae confirming all Gifts given by his Predecessors and himself to the Abbacy of Pasly dated anno 1361 which was nine years before he was KING In which amongst other Witnesses Joannes Senescallus Dominus de Kyle primogenitus noster is one Which verifies also that his Father did communicat his Honours and Estate with him at that time This Charter is recorded in Fol. 39. of the Register of Pasly In the year 1328. on the thirteenth of February there is a Submission recorded in the said Register of Pasly betwixt the Procurator of the said Abbacy called Andrew Kelcho who was Prior of the Abbacy on the one part and Reginald More or Mure Procurator for the Master Channons and Monks of Simpringhame concerning 40 Merks of Annuity payable by the Abbacy of Pasly to Simpringhame and assigned by them to the said Reginald On which submission the Abbot is decerned to pay the 40 Merks to Reginald and his Successors he getting a sufficient Write from those of Simpringhame to secure Pasly for what they pay And for further Security to the Abbacy Reginald and his Son Sir William consign a Write disponing his Lands of Sanackar Camsestrang Doulargis Cowdams Stafflour and Hormisdale lying in the Baronies of Renfrew and Cowall in Warrandice to the Abbacy for securing them until he produced the said Writing from Simpringhame as said is he having failed for two years to procure the said security from Simpringhame those of Pasly addressed to Robert Earl of Strathern STEWART of SCOTLAND and to JOHN his eldest Son and Heir Who were Superiors of the Lands disponed by Reginald to them for their Security desiring a Charter whereby they might be seased in the saids Lands Which Robert and his said Son did grant and it is recorded in Folio 16. of the old Register of Pasly The Charter is long and therefore I have only abstracted out of it what is useful for our purpose as follows OMnibus hanc Cartam visuris vel audituris Robertus SENESCALLUS Scotiae Comes de Strathern JOANNES SENESCALLVS primo-genitus Haeres ipsius Dominus Baroniae de Kyle salutem in Domino sempiternam cum dudum Reginaldus More pater domini Wilelmi More militis concesserit pro se haeredibus suis firmiter obligaverit omnes terras suas subscriptas in Baronia de Kyle de Cowall viz.
