The seal is lost, its tag remains. No witnesses are named.
Eugenius is, of course, only a foolish latinized form of Iwar
or Evir, a favourite Strachur name which with Arthur alter¬
nates in their pedigree.
1 It is to be noticed that the grant does not cover the whole of Rosneath.
According to Irving’s Dumbartonshire, p. 444, Rahane had been given by
Robert 1. to ‘ Duncan, son of Matthew, probably an ancestor of the family
of Lecky.’
