VIII.—MALCOLM COLQUHOUN,
Younger of Colquhoun and Luss, 1410-1439.
ОглавлениеThis Malcolm Colquhoun was the heir-apparent of his father, Sir John, and is stated by genealogists to have been a young man of high promise.
The only evidence which we have found of him is in a charter by Sir James Scrimzeour, constable of Dundee, dated 13th November 1433, in which he is designed “Malcolm Colquhoun, son and heir-apparent of Sir John Colquhoun of Luss.”[1] He died before the year 1439, in the lifetime of his father, leaving by his wife, whose name has not been ascertained, a son, John, who succeeded his grandfather in the estates of Colquhoun and Luss.
| [1] | Craufurd in his Officers of State and Douglas in his Baronage state that this Malcolm Colquhoun was one of the hostages appointed to proceed to England in security for the payment of the ransom of King James the First on his liberation by the English. This, however, is a mistake. The hostages were twenty-one in number, and their names are given in Rymer’s Fœdera (vol. x. p. 307), but the name of Malcolm Colquhoun does not appear in the list. |
