EARLDOM OF STRATHEARN [SCT] (VI)
MALISE, EARL OF STRATHEARN [SCT], son and heir by 2nd wife, was born cir
ca 1257. He was one of the Scottish nobles who swore (by proxy), 25 July 1
281, at Roxburgh, to observe the terms of the marriage contract between Pr
incess Margaret [SCT] and King Eric of Norway; who, after the death of Ki
ng Alexander III, acknowledged Margaret, daughter of the said Princes
s, as heir to the throne of Scotland, at Scone, 5 February 1283/4; and w
ho confirmed the treaty of marriage between the said Margaret of Norway, t
hen Queen of Scotland, and Prince Edward of England in a convention at Bir
gham, 17 March 1289/90. After Queen Margaret's death in 1290 he swore feal
ty to Edward I as his overlord at Stirling, 12 July 1291; and was a Commis
sioner for Balliol in the competition for the Scottish crown in 1292. He w
as one of the Scottish nobles summoned, 29 July, to accompany Edwa
rd I to Gascony, September 1294; and is said to have been among the Sev
en Earls who, early in 1296, raided into England and vainly besieged Carli
sle; but on the submission of Balliol, he did homage to Edward I at Stirli
ng, 19 June and at Berwick 28 August in that year. The Earl was order
ed to obey the instructions given to Hugh De Cressingham, Treasurer [SCT
], during the King's absence in Flanders, 24 May, and to continue his fait
hful services in Scotland, 26 September 1297. In the English invasion of 1
303-04 he dined with the Prince of Wales at Perth on Christmas Day and 1 J
anuary 1303/4; and was ordered by Edward I, 11 March following, to set gua
rds on the fords of the Forth and then to attend Parliament [SCT]. He w
as Lieutenant of the Warden, North of Forth, before September 130
5. On 25 August 1306 he bound himself to produce Andrew, son of the Stewa
rd of Scotland, and John, son of the Earl of Atholl, at the King's pleasur
e; but for his alleged submission to King Robert Bruce (apparently under d
uress at Inchmahome) he was imprisoned at his own charges in Rochester Cas
tle, November 1306, and thence at York, November 1307-December 1308, wh
en he was to be released on mainprize on condition that he should li
ve in England and not cross Tyne or Tweed without licence. After acquitt
al at Westminster of "malefame," he was freed from this restraint in 13
09 (after 11 June); and was in English pay at Berwick, November-December 1
310. He is said to have fought on the English siDe and to have been captur
ed by his son ex parte Bruce at the taking of Perth, 28 January 1312/3.
He married, in or before 1275, Agnes, said to be 2nd daughter of Alexand
er (COMYN), 6th EARL OF BUCHAN [SCT], by Elizabeth (or Isabel), 2nd daught
er and coheir of Roger (DE QUINCY), EARL OF WINCHESTER. He died, it is sta
ted, in 1312 (i.e. before 25 March 1312/3) and was buried in Inchaffray Ab
bey. Agnes was living in November 1310 and probably surv. him. [Complete P
