Reueden/Redden family
Janet Crawford
."..Hugh de Reueden gave up his claim to some land called Floris [I
think this is Floors Castle post Henry VIII's destruction of the
abbeys] of which he and his ancestors had long held possession,
contrary to justice and the will of the abbot. He resigned it at the
court of Etterick in the year 1258. His grandson Hugh, the son of
John, resigned for a sum of money, to his lords the abbot and convent
of Kelso, in the court of the Abbot Richard, in 1285, all the land
which he and his ancestors had at any time held in the territories of
Reueden and Home [sic - Hume] ..."
Might anyone have any information on this family or the Order of
Tiron? I am interested in the family prior to 1258 AD if that is
possible.

Hi Janet,
Not quite sure about your comment on Floors castle, which was not
built until 1720.
You can find references to several Reuedens here:
