148 CHARTERS OF THE ABBEY OF INCHCOLM
Sward or Siward held lands in Fife. He is called lord of Kelli, 3 April
1266 (Laing Charters, 8). Richard Syward is a witness to charters of
John, Earl of Huntingdon (Aberbrothoc, i. 84, 137). On 28 Jan. 1290,
the Pope gave mandate to the Bishop of St. Andrews, to grant a dis¬
pensation to Richard, son of David Marshal of Nudrif, and Agnes, daughter
of Sir Richard Siwart, knight, to intermarry, they being related in the
fourth degree of kindred (CPR., Letters, i. p. 610). This may be a later
Sir Richard. On 24 March 1291/92, the Guardians of Scotland command
the Chamberlain to pay Richard Siward, knight, forty marks for keeping
three castles of Galloway and Nithsdale {Cal. of Docs., ii. 682) and his
receipt is dated 26 April 1292 {ibid., 689). Between 1295 and 1297 lands
in Hampshire were restored to him, he held lands in Tynedale and his
lands in Northampton were also restored {ibid., 723, 963, 930). This later
Sir Richard was Sheriff of Fife, 19 March 1302/03 {ibid., 1350) and is
frequently mentioned in Cal. of Docs., ii. It is evidently this Sir Richard
who is described, with regard to the giving up of the Castle of Dunbar
(25 April 1296), as ‘ virum nominatum et in armis expertum, dominum
Ricardum Sywarde ’ {Chron. Lanercost, p. 175).
Domino Radulpho Abbate de Dunfermeline. Ralph de Grenlaw, formerly
sub-prior, succeeded to the abbacy about 1275 (Dunfermelyn, p. xiii.).
He swore fealty to Edward I at Dunfermline, 17 July 1291 {Cal. of Docs.,
ii. p. 124) and did homage at Berwick-on-Tweed, 28 August 1296 {ibid.,
p. 196).

Domino Radulpho de Laschelis. See note to No. xxvi. supra.
Duncano de Crambeth. See note to No. xxvi. supra.
Waltero de Strath{enry) clerico. See note to No. xxvi. supra.
Simone de Oroc. Simon de Oroc is a witness to a charter, 18 June 1248
{Dunfermelyn, 170) and other undated thirteenth-century charters {ibid.,
186,198). That there was more than one bearer of this name is shown by
the fact that ‘ Symon filius Simonis de Oroc ’ grants a charter {ibid., 204).
It is probably the present witness who, as ‘ Symon de Orrok of the county
of Fife ’ did homage to Edward I, 28 Aug. 1296 {Cal. of Docs., ii. p. 204).
Hugone de Louhore. There were two men of this name. The first was
a brother of Constantine (II) of Lochore, by whom he was granted a third
part of his lands of Pitfirrane, c. 1245 {Pitfirrane Writs, 2) ; and the grant
was renewed by Constantine (III) of Lochore, his nephew, c. 1260-70
{ibid., 3). ‘ Hugo de Lochore tunc temporis vicecomes de Fyffe ’ is a
witness to a charter of David Wemyss, c. 1289 {Wemyss, ii. p. 9). It is
probably a later Hugh de Lochore who witnesses a charter c. 1293 {Highland
Papers, ii. p. 128), who also is one of the Scottish prisoners committed to
Chester Castle, 16 May 1296 {Cal. of Docs., ii. p. 177) and who—although
he may be the ‘ Huwe de Lochore of the county of Fife ’ who does homage
to Edward I, at Berwick-on-Tweed, 28 Aug. 1296 {ibid., p. 209)—was
again a prisoner in Chester Castle from 30 Sept. 1298 till at least 1300
{ibid., 1114, 1166).
