| Notes |
- Notes for Sir Christopher de Seton:
"The fourth in descent from him was the noble patriot Sir Christopher, or Christall Seyton, who married Lady Christian Bruce, sister of King Robert Bruce, and widow of Gratney, Earl of Mar. The 'Gallant Seton,' as he is termed by the author of Lord of the Isles, was one of the earliest and most strenuous supporters of his illustrious brother-in-law, and was present at his coronation at Scone, 27th of March, 1306. At the Battle of Methven, on the 13th of June following, Bruce, who had ventured his person in that conflict like a knight of romance, was unhorsed by Sir Philip Mowbray, but was remounted by Sir Christopher, who greatly signalised himself in the clinflict by his personal valour. He made his escape from that fatal field, and shut himself up in Lochdoon Castle, in Ayrshire, where he was betrayed to the English, through means (according to Barbour) of one Macnab, 'a disciple of Judas,' in whom the unfortunate knight reposed entire confidence. Sir Christopher was conveyed to Dumfries, where he was tried, condemned, and executed; and his brother John shared the same fate at newcastle.
