Leslie

[Leo]

CP XIV does not add or change anything about the early generations of this family.

CP XI pages 184 to 187 covers the earliest generations.

1.Bertholf
2.Malcolm, son of Bertholf mentioned 1170 - 1200
3.Norman the Constable, son of Malcolm mentioed 1199 - 1224
4.Norman de Lescelin, son of Norman mentioned before 1214 and 1253
5.Sir Andrew de Lescelin, suggested he was probably son of Norman son of Norman the Constable and father of Norman father of Andrew
6.Sir Norman de Leslie
7.Sir Andrew de Leslie who married in 1313 Mary de Abernethy

Burke's Peerage 1999 page 2456 gives several differences
1.Bartholomew/Bartolf, probably a Hungarian nobleman who came to Scotland with Margaret of Wessex and became her chamberlain. _Apparently_ married Beatrix, sister of King Malcolm III
and was granted extensive lands, Governor of Edinburgh Castle, died in 1121
2.Malcolm Constable of Inverurie Castle
3.Norman dead by 1248 and married a daughter of the feudal lord of Lorn
4.Norino
5.Norman, 1st of Leslie, dead by 1317 and married Elizabeth Leith
6.Sir Andrew who in 1313 married Mary Abernethy

The Scottish Peerage gives a slightly different story
1.Bertolf or Bartholomew is said to be of Flemish origins. He is said to have flourished at the court of Malcolm III _and to have married a sister of the King_ He died in 1121
2.Malcolm mentioned in a charter not earlier than 1172 and probably died in 1200
3.Norman the Constable of Inverury

The generations vary, and did Bertolf marry a sister of Malcolm III, and was he Hungarian or Flemish?

Can anyone tell?

Dear Leo,

Oddly enough, I tend to the Burke's version - as to the
generations displayed. The marriage to a daughter of the Lord of Lorn
(Gen. 3) is possible - there was a consanguineus relationship between
Sir Andrew Leslie, his wife Mary de Abernethy, and her 2nd husband Sir
David de Lindsay, and Mary was a G-granddaughter of Ewen mac Donchadh
mac Dubhgaill, lord of Lorn. I have seen no evidence re: Elizabeth
Leith (Gen. 4).

Bertholf or Bartolf was more likely a Fleming. He was not a
contemporary of St. Margaret, and doubtless had nothing but a
legendary connection to the departure of Edward Ætheling and his
family from Hungary in 1057. His son Malcolm was an adult and likely
not very aged when he had a charter from David, lord of the Garioch
(later Earl of Huntingdon) ca 1174x1190 confirming him in his lands in
Lesslyn or Leslie. The probability is that Malcolm was born say
1130x1160: little this side of cryogenics would make this Malcolm the
son of a contemporary of the Ætheling and his wife Agatha.

At that point, the alleged marriage to a sister or any other
family member of Malcolm III should be dispensed with.

Cheers,

John

Good Morning

I am looking for evidence that Beatrice de Glanville, who is alleged to have married Hugh de Leigh (CP - Grey of Wilton Vol.6 p.172 note a), is a daughter of William de Glanville and Beatrice de Sackville. I have found untold number of online pedigrees that state this – but no evidence. The names and dates make sense, but that is only circumstantial evidence.

Thanks

Steve Higley

Hi Steve,
According to an article in The American Genealogist, Vol. 71 no. 4 (October
1996), "The Glanvilles and Roger God-Save-The-Ladies: Maternal Ancestors of
Gov. Thomas Dudley" by F. N. Craig, Beatrice de Glanville who married Hugh
de Leigh was a daughter of Bartholomew de Glanville and his wife Isabel, and
a granddaughter of William de Glanville and Beatrice de Sackville. (Pedigree
on pg. 203.)Hope this helps.
