• Life Sketch: with note: Description: The Life Summary of Alexander When Sir Alexander Home of Home and Dunglas was born in 1407, in Home, Berwickshire, Scotland, his father, Sir Alexander Home of Home and Dunglass, was 27 and his mother, Janet (Jean) De Hay, was 13. He married Mariotta (Marion) Lauder on 11 April 1426. They were the parents of at least 5 sons and 3 daughters. He died in February 1489, in Dunglass, Berwickshire, Scotland, United Kingdom, at the age of 82. MORAIR ALEXANDER II DE HOME was born about 1407 of Home, Berwickshire, Scotland, to Sir Aleander Home of Dunglass (1380-1424) and Lady Janet de la Hay Lochorwarth (1375-1424.) He married Mariotta Lauder about 1424 of Home, Berwickshire, Scotland. Alexander de Home died about 1490 of Dunglass, Berwickshire, Scotland, age 83. WIKEPEDIA: Alexander Home, 1st Lord Home • Alexander Home, 1st Lord Home (also Hume) (died c. 1491) was a Scottish nobleman, Warden of the Eastern March, and a leading figure among the rebels who defeated and killed James III of Scotland at the Battle of Sauchieburn in 1488. LifeEdit He was the eldest son of Sir Alexander Home of Home, who died in 1461. On 20 December 1451 James III conceded to him the lands of Dunglass, Home, Susterpeth, and Kello in Berwickshire, which his father resigned, and which were united into the free barony of Home; in 1452 the lands of Chirnside were annexed to the barony, and in 1453 other lands. He became baillie of Coldingham Priory in 1466.[1] In 1466 Home sat in the Scottish estates among the barons, and he was created a lord of parliament by the title Lord Home, 2 August 1473. As warden of the marches he went to meet the master of Bolton, envoy of Edward IV of England, at the River Tweed in 1476, and escorted him to James III.[1] Jealous of Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany, brother of the king, who had local power as captain of Berwick and keeper of Dunbar Castle, Lord Home banded with the Hepburns to sow discord between Albany and the king. His success saw Albany escaping imprisonment by flight to England. Favour shown by the king to Robert Cochrane then caused tension.[1] Home was not personally an actor in Scottish politics from around 1479, but through family retained much influence for the rest of his life. The Home family opposition to the king stemmed from plans first floated in 1472, to migrate the priory of Coldingham north to St Andrews, for security against the English but removing it from the Home powerbase.[2] In 1482 the king assembled Scottish baronial forces to withstand a threatened invasion by Albany and the English. Nobles including Home seized Cochrane in the king's presence, at Lauder in Berwickshire. They hanged him over the bridge there, and carried James III captive to Edinburgh. The king came to terms with Albany, and, on Albany's arrival with the English force, received his liberty, while Home and other chiefs of the conspiracy were imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus made a deal that freed them, on bonds to enter into ward again when called upon by the king.[1] In 1484, matters came to a head when the Homes and Hepburns resisted the royal plan to annexe the revenues of Coldingham. Claiming that the king was trespassing on the rights of the nobles, they induced other lords to join them in seizing Prince James, and making him their nominal leader in a revolt against his father. The followers of Home formed part of the vanguard at the battle of Sauchieburn (18 June 1488), where the king was killed.[1] On the nominal accession of James IV, Lord Home occupied a favoured position, and received grants of land. He died about 1491, and was succeeded by his grandson.[1] FamilyEdit Home married first Marion Lauder, heiress of Landells, daughter of John Lauder and Katherine de Landells, by whom he had one daughter, Helen, and three sons: Alexander, who predeceased him, and was father of Alexander Home, 2nd Lord Home, and of John Home of Whiterigs and Ersilton, ancestor of the Homes of Coldingknows; George, ancestor of the Homes of Ayton; and Patrick, ancestor of the Homes of Fast Castle. He married, secondly Margaret, daughter of Alexander, master of Montgomery, by whom, he had a son, Thomas Home of Laingshaw, Ayrshire.[1] Alexander Home, 1st Lord Home was the son of Sir Alexander Home of Home and Dunglas and Janet Hay. He married, firstly, Marion Lauder, daughter of John Lauder and Katherine de Landells, before 1424. He married, secondly, Margaret Montgomerie, daughter of Alexander Montgomerie, 1st Lord Montgomerie and Margaret Boyd, before 14 July 1467. He died between February 1490 and April 1491. In 1450 he founded the Collegiate Church of Dunbar. He held the office of Scottish Ambassador to England in 1459.1 He was created 1st Lord Home [Scotland] on 2 August 1473.

Elizabeth Home (no dates) The_Bass_17thcentury http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Rock The Lauder Family: The earliest recorded proprietors are the Lauder of the Bass family, from whom Sir Harry Lauder is descended. According to legend, the island is said to have been a gift from King Malcolm III of Scotland. The crest on their heraldic arms is, appropriately, a Gannet standing upon a rock. The family had from an early date a castle on the island. Sir Robert de Lawedre is mentioned by Blind Harry in The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace as a compatriot of William Wallace, and Alexander Nisbet recorded his tombstone in 1718, in the floor of the old kirk in North Berwick: "here lies Sir Robert de Lawedre, great laird of The Bass, who died May 1311". Five years later his son received that part of the island which until then had been retained by The Church because it contained the holy cell of Saint Baldred. A century on Wyntown's Cronykil relates: "In 1406 King Robert III, apprehensive of danger to his son James (afterwards James I) from the Duke of Albany, placed the youthful prince in the safe-custody of Sir Robert Lauder in his secure castle on The Bass prior to an embarkation for safer parts on the continent." Subsequently, says Tytler, "Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass was one of the few people whom King James I admitted to his confidence." In 1424 Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass, with 18 men, had a safe-conduct with a host of other noblemen, as a hostage for James I at Durham. J J Reid also mentions that "in 1424 when King James I returned from his long captivity in England, he at once consigned to the castle of The Bass, Walter Stewart, the eldest son of Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, his cousin. The person who received the payments for the prisoner's support was Sir Robert Lauder", whom Tytler further describes as "a firm friend of the King". - wikipedia (Bass Rock) +

  === Life Sketch ===
  Lord Home married twice:
  (1) Mariotta (or Marion), the daughter and co-heiress of John Lauder (d.v.p.1421),(son of Sir Robert de Lawedre of Edrington and The Bass (d. 1425)), by John's spouse Katherine, heiress to her father William de Landells and his wife Jonet.http://www.venitap.com/Genealogy/WebCards/ps35/ps35_440.html.
  A Papal dispensation by Pope Martin V was issued on 11 April 1426 at St Peter's, Rome, for Alexander de Home and Marion Lauder (de Lawedre) to marry, notwithstanding that they are related doubly in the fourth degree of consanguinity. Subsequent to that Dispensation, Robert, Bishop of Caithness, issued 'Letters' declaring all their offspring legitimate, signed at Edinburgh on 1 April 1428, and witnessed by (the next) Sir Robert Lauder, knight, Lord of Edrington, amongst others.Balfour Paul, Sir James, The Scots Peerage, under Home, vol.4, Edinburgh, 1907: 448–451; and also the Adenda, vol., 9, Edinburgh, 1914: 106–7, where he corrects relationship errors he had made in volume 4 for the 1st Lord Home and his spouses.
  
  They had at least seven children:
  Alexander, Master of Home (d. 1456, v.p.), married, following a Papal Dispensation,[10] Agnes, daughter of Sir Adam Hepburn of Dunsyre, father of Patrick Hepburn, 1st Lord Hailes, with issue:
  Alexander Home, 2nd Lord Home
  John Home of Ersiltoun and Whitrigs
  John, Prior of Coldingham Priory (d. before 1505)
  Nicholas
  Sir Patrick, of Fast Castle, & Balwoolsy (d. after 1507), married Isobel née Forman, with issue.
  George, of Ayton (b. 1435 - alive February 1490)
  Elyne or Helen, (possibly the 1st child) (d. after 1480) who married Sir Adam Hepburn, Master of Hailes (d. 1479), with issue.
  Jonet or Janet (d.after 1471), who married her cousin Sir Robert Lauder of The Bass (Papal Dispensation to marry dated 22 July 1442).
  
  Before July 1467 Sir Alexander Home remarried
  (2) Margaret, daughter of Alexander, Master of Montgomerie by his spouse Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Hepburn of Hailes. They had further children:
  Sir Thomas, of Langshaw, Ayrshire
  Nicholas (indicating that Nicholas by the first marriage had probably died young)
  Elizabeth
  David
  
  His grandson Alexander, the future 2nd Lord, was a leader of the rebels who defeated King James III of Scotland at the Battle of Sauchieburn.
  
  The 1st Lord Home lived to a very great age, dying, it is said, in 1490. He was succeeded by his grandson Alexander Home, 2nd Lord Home.

  From Wikipedia:
  
  The title Earl of Home (pronounced /ˈhjuːm/ "Hume") was created in 1605 in the Peerage of Scotland for Alexander Home of that Ilk, who was already the 6th Lord Home.
  
  The Earl of Home holds the subsidiary titles of Lord Home (created 1473), and Lord Dunglass (1605), in the Peerage of Scotland; and Baron Douglas, of Douglas in the County of Lanark (1875) in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Various Earls of Home have also claimed the title of Lord Hume of Berwick. The Earl is also Chief of the Name and Arms of Home and heir general to the House of Douglas. The title Lord Dunglass is the courtesy title of the eldest son of the Earl.
  
  The most famous recent holder of the title was the 14th Earl, Alexander Frederick Douglas-Home, better known as Sir Alec Douglas-Home. After the unexpected resignation of Harold Macmillan, the 14th Earl was named Prime Minister by the monarch. For the first time in over sixty years, a sitting Prime Minister was a member of the House of Lords rather than of the House of Commons. Because he believed that it was impractical and unconventional to remain a member of the Lords, the Earl disclaimed his peerages in 1963 under the Peerage Act passed in the same year. He then contested the House of Commons seat of Kinross and Western Perthshire by standing in the Kinross and West Perthshire by-election, 1963. The seat had been vacated by the death of the previous Member of Parliament, Gilmour Leburn. The Earldom and subsidiary titles belonged to no-one until the death of Sir Alec Douglas-Home, when they passed to his son, the present holder, David Douglas-Home, 15th Earl of Home.
  
  The family seats are The Hirsel, Berwickshire and Castlemains, Douglas, South Lanarkshire.

  The date of building the Chapel, dedicated to St. Mary of Dunglass, is unclear but when Sir Alexander Home of that Ilk was granted a charter, in 1421, to the lands of Dunglass [1] the chapel was in existence. In 1423, Sir Alexander of Dunglass employed priests (a college) to pray for the family's souls and the chapel was raised to collegiate status [2] which was confirmed by King James II of Scots in 1450 and confirmed by Pope Nicholas V. The college was composed of a provost, three chaplains and four boy choiristers.
