122 CHARTERS OF THE ABBEY OF INCHCOLM
to the parish mill would, in any case, affect the monastery’s income from
multures. The compromise effected ensured that in the case of Robert
de Rossive, the commutation of the multures of Couston for an annual
sum of eight shillings would secure the monastery’s interests, while he
gained the valuable right of having a mill of his own ; and in the case
of Roger de Balmakmole, while the monastery’s revenue from the mill
of Aberdour was safeguarded, he was set free from feudal services, e.g.
supplying millstones, to the mill.
Willelmo Abbate de Dunfermeline. Appears in a record of 27 April
1226 (Dunfermelyn, 218). Witnesses a charter of 1227 (ibid., 214) and
a charter of Alexander II, 10 March 1228/29 (Cal. of Docs. rel. to Scotland,
i. 1113). Abbot William appears also in Dunfermelyn, 104, 150, 224, 365.
He died in 1237 (Scotichronicon, ix. cap. liii.) or 1238 (Chron. Mailros,
p. 148).
H. priore de Colenros. He is called ‘ Henrico ’ infra. This prior of
Culross is not otherwise known.
Magistro Petro de Ramseya. Witnesses charters during the reign of
Alexander II (e.g. Lib. S. Crucis, 60; Aberbrothoc, i. 118, 172; Dun¬
fermelyn, 74, 219, 224) ; also a charter of 29 June 1237 (A7. Berwic, 17)
and the foundation-charter of the Priory of Inchmahome, 1 July 1238
(Menteith, 74). He appears in 1239 (No. xvm. infra). Canon of Dunkeld,
1245 (RPSA., p. 308). Bishop of Aberdeen, 1247-56 (Dowden, Bishops,
pp. 104-105), in which capacity he appears in 1252 (No. xxm. infra).
Johanne de Haya tunc temporis vicecomite de Fife. He was probably
the third son of William de Haya of Errol, viz., John de Haya de Adnachtan
(Naughton, in Fife), who married Juliana de Lascelles (Campbell, Bal-
merino, p. 487). He is a witness to charters of Alexander II, a. 1226
(Reg. Hon. de Morton, i. p. xxxiv.), in 1223 (Lib. S. Crucis, 61), on 30 April
and 15 Sept. 1229 (Cambuskenneth, 208; Lib. S. Crucis, App. n. 9), and
as Sheriff of Perth, 30 March 1226 (Aberbrothoc, i. 171). He is mentioned
as Sheriff of Fife during the reign of Alexander II elsewhere than the
present charter (e.g. Balmorinach, 7, 39), and, in 1246, an enquiry into the
marches of Wester Fedale is recorded as having taken place ‘ tempore
vicecomitatus Domini Johannis de Haya ’ (Lindores, xxin.). He and
his wife, Juliana, granted a toft in Perth to Lindores (ibid., lxvi.). He
witnesses other charters in 1231 (Balmorinach, 1—along with his brothers,
Thomas and Walter; Dunfermelyn, 192) and 1245 (Cambuskenneth, 171;
Lindores, lv.).
Archibaldo de Dowglas. Described as son of William Douglas, in a
charter, not later in date than 1198, by which he resigned the lands of
Hailes (Scots Peerage, iii. p. 135). He may be the ‘ Erkembaldus de
Duueglas ’ who witnesses a charter of Jocelin, Bishop of Glasgow (1174-99)
(Metros, i. 43) and who, as ‘ Arkenbald ’ de Douglas, witnesses a charter
of Walter, Bishop of Glasgow (1207-32) (Calchou, 280). On 6 Dec. 1213
he was present at the making of an agreement regarding the earldom
of Menteith (Cal. of Docs. rel. to Scotland, i. 2276). A charter of Malcolm,
Earl of Fife, declares that he has confirmed to Archibald de Douglas,
