  • Notes 
    • 3rd of Fordell - succeeded his grandfather George as his father William died vita patriae. Born around 1545 (his parents were married 1543, and he himself was granted the Provostship of Inverkeithing in 1566 so presumably aged 21 at that time).

      From Burke's 19th1
      ...excused by Queen Mary and Lord Darnley from attending their army 'ost' 1565, because of his minority, and from attending the wars all his life for the good services of his predecessors, this privilege being renewed by James VI, with whom he was in high favour
