HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF GORDON
"..Adam de Gordun married an Englishwoman named Marjory and in her right possessed an estate in England for which he had to do homage to the English King (Henry III). Alexander of Scotland had died the previous year (1286) and his grand daughter, the young Maid of Norway, died in 1290 leaving the throne vacant. The matter was referred to Edward I (of England) who decided in favor of John Balliol to whom Adam adhered. ("Braveheart" fame)...he (John Balliol) raised an army in the West which was joined by Adam whose Berwickshire lands were plundered by the English during Edward's victorious invasion of Scotland. When, on the 28th of April 1296, the armies met on the field of Dunbar, Adam was one of the large number which fell in that fight so fatal to Scottish independence. He left a son."
