    • FamilySearch ID: GD8V-WYQ
    • Name: John Keith

    Notes:

    John Keith was the son and heir of Sir Robert Keith and Barbara Douglas.[1][2][3] John's date of birth has been estimated as occurring circa 1294, based upon an entry in The Scots Peerage (Vol. VI), where John's son, Robert, is mentioned:

    As having been present at the taking of Perth in 1332. He must have been then quite a youth, for he seems to have been under age in 1335-36, when Ralph de Neville possessed his half of the Soulis lands in Liddesdale in ward. He seems to have been dead some years prior to 1345-46.[1]
    If grandson Robert fought at Perth in 1332, he would have been at least 16, for any younger, he would not have been eligible for military service.[4][5] Thus, having still been a minor in 1335-36, he was likely about age 19.[1] This would place John's son, Robert, as having been born circa 1316. Assuming an early parentage of 22 for his father, John may have been born circa 1294.

    John Keith had one known brother, Sir William, noted for opposing the peace in August of 1335 between Scotland and England.[1]

    Marriage
    John married an unknown sister and co-heir of William de Soules and had the following issue: Robert, who succeeded his grandfather Robert Keith as Marischal of Scotland, married Margaret, daughter of Sir Gilbert Hay of Errol, first Constable of Scotland, but died without issue;[2] an unknown daughter who married Sir Robert Maitland; and Edmund and Sir Edward, both of whom were killed at the battle of Durham on 17 October 1346.[1][6] It is unknown whether John had any previous marriages.

    Death
    John died in 1324, pre-deceasing his father, which appears by an entail made by John's father, Robert Keith, in 1325, whereby John's estate was passed on to his son, Robert and his heirs male.[1] The location of his death and burial are unknown.

    From "Duncan the fat's descendants become Robertsons" by Joe Adair:

    http://www.adair.ca/Robertson/Robertson.html

    Duncan's son, Robert became second Lord of Struan about 1355. Through his second marriage, he acquired the lands of Stermont. However, his first marriage to the daughter of Sir John Sterling of Glenesk created some friction due to shared inheritance of the lands of Glenesk in Angus with her sister who married Sir Alexander Lindsay. The Lindsays had a son, Sir David Lindsay.

    The Lindsays were very powerful, owning 2/3 of Angus County and were overlords of the highland district of Strathnairn. The division of land to the two sisters may have annoyed our chief.

    Sir David Lindsay expected trouble from his aunt's family, and quite rightly so as it turned out. He arranged a meeting with Robert to discuss the matter. Robert did not attend. Sir David Lindsay sent a scout to find out what was going on. The scout never returned. Robert did not attend the meeting, instead secretly met with Sir Duncan Stewart who was backed by his men and the Roses from Strathnairn.

    Robert had 3 younger half brothers, through their father's second marriage. They were Patrick of Lude, Thomas of Strowan and Gibbon. These brothers led a small army of our clansmen and secretly joined with Sir Duncan Stewart and his men to form an army of over 300 in 1392. They marched into Angus to the east and killed many Lindsays and their Ogilvies allies and their homes were burnt. Three thousand head of Angus cattle were stolen and driven to Rannoch.

    The surviving enemy regrouped and caught up with our clan near Blairgowrie. At the battle of Glasclune, the Angus men were defeated, but we suffered heavy losses. The cattle were driven along the valley of Strathardle to our clan territory.

    Still the enemy was not content to let it stand. Sir Walter Ogilvie, hereditary Sheriff of Angus, got it in his head that our clan's action was on shaky legal ground. He and his possy joined the retreating Angus men previously defeated and caught up with our men at Glenbrierachan in western Strathardle, six miles northeast of Pitlochry. Sixty mounted knights and sundry others comprised the enemy.

    This steel armour and long lances were matched against our array of weapons:

    Claymore - large broadsword, sharp on both edges
    Targe - small, light shield which sacrifices defense to make offence easier
    Dirk - dagger that can be used while the enemy fends off your claymore
    We sent the Angus cattle ahead and positioned ourselves on rough ground, difficult for the enemy horses. Thus a charge by the knights with lances lowered would be difficult.

    The battle did not last long. Sir David Lindsay had pinned one of our men to the ground. Our clansman pulled himself up using Sir David's own lance and using his claymore, penetrated Sir David's stirrup and armour steel boot to nearly sever Sir David's foot off, having cut through to the bone. Unfortunately, our brave clansman died later of his wounds.

    In the quick defeat of the enemy and their subsequent panic, Sir Walter Ogilvie (the now late sheriff), his brother, nearly a dozen knights and about 60 others were killed by our clan. After so much harassment over this simple cattle transaction, our clan realized that

    From the English Wikipedia page on Lord High Treasurer of Scotland:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasurer_of_Scotland

    The Treasurer was a senior post in the pre-Union government of Scotland, the Privy Council of Scotland.

    The full title of the post was Lord High Treasurer, Comptroller, Collector-General and Treasurer of the New Augmentation, formed as it was from the amalgamation of four earlier offices. Of these, the Treasurer and Comptroller had originated in 1425 when the Chamberlain's financial functions were transferred to them.[1]
