Notes:

Described as one of the " Magnates of Scotland."
He fought and was taken prisoner at the battle of Neville's Cross, or Redhill, Durham, on the 17th October, 1346.
This Sir Robert de Chisholme married Anne, daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Lauder of Ouarrelwood, Con- stable of Urquhart Castle, on Lochness.
He is the first of the name of which any trace is found in the North of Scotland, and it will be shown that from him are descended all the Chisholms of the north. There were certain church lands, in the vicinity of Castle Urquhart, which, on the 6th of December, 1344, being the feast of St. Nicholas, were granted by John, Bishop of Moray, to Sir Robert Lauder. These lands were afterwards possessed by Robert de Chis- holme. In 1345 there is a grant of them in his favour by John Randolph, Earl of Moray, probably on the occa- sion of Chisholme's marriage to Anne, Sir Robert Lauder's daughter and co-heiress.

Family/Spouse: Anne-nic-Robert LAUDER, of Ouarrelwood. Anne-nic-Robert was born in 1310 in Elgin, Elginshire, Scotland; died in 1390 in Morayshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Janet, who, in 1364, married Hugh Rose, 4th of Kilravock.
The marriage contract is dated 2nd of January in that year, and is witnessed and sealed by the Bishops of Ross and Moray, and by William, Earl of Ross and Lord of Skye.
To this Hugh Rose, 4th of Kilravock, who married Janet Chisholme, the author of the history of that family makes the following reference " I finde him mentioned in a contract matrimoniall betwixt him and Joneta de Chesholme, daughter of Sir Robert Chesholme, Constable of the Castle of Urquhart. He was also Chesholme of that Ilk, and in right of his mother, daughter of Sir Robert Lauder, succeeded to Quarrelwood, Kinsterie, Brightmannie, etc. This contract, because it is Kilravock's originall right of his lands in Strathnairn, and through the character, contractions, and bad ink, is scarce legible already, therefore I have here transcryved it." He then quotes it at length in the original Latin.* We give the following translation of the portion which, along with the preceding quotation from the manuscript history of the family of Kilravock, proves that the Sir Robert de Chisholme who owned so much land in the Highlands, and was Constable of Urquhart Castle, was also Sir Robert Chisholme of that Ilk, and head of all the Chisholms, north and south :

Janet married Hugh ROSE, 4th of Kilravock, 4th of Clan Rose on 2 Jan 1365. Hugh (son of Hugh DE ROSE, 3rd of Kilravock, 3rd of Clan Rose) was born in 1345 in Kilravock, Nairnshire, Scotland; died in 1388 in Kilravock, Nairnshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
