=== Life Sketch ===
Norman, the son of Malcolm, succeeded his father about 1176.
About the year 1224 Norman obtained a charter confirming to him, as Norman the son of Malcolm, the lands of Lesselyn, Achnagart, and Mile, and their pertinents, with the exception of the church of Lesselyn, which the said Norman had previously granted to the abbey and monks of Lindores. By this charter Norman also received a grant, for the first time that the family held them, of the lands of Caskyben, now called Keith Hall.
Norman appears to have succeeded his father Malcolm in his office of Constable of Inverurie. Under this title he is named as a witness in a deed by which David, Earl of Huntingdon, renounced, in favour of the Earl of Mar, all claim to a serf called Gillecriste MacGillekuncongal, and his four sons, the two Gillecristes, and Gillenem, and Gillemartin.
Norman, the Constable of Inverurie, also appears as a witness to a charter granted in the reign of William the Lion, by Matthew Kinnin- mount, Bishop of Aberdeen from 1165 to 1197, for the erection of St. Peter's Hospital in the Spittal, near Aberdeen.
Norman, the son of Malcolm, and Constable of Inverurie, is also one of the witnesses to the charter of foundation granted to the Church and abbey of Lindores, by David, Earl of Huntingdon, between 1202 and 1206. Norman, the son of Malcolm, married a daughter of Stuart, Earl of Lorn, by whom he had:
1.) Norino, his successor
2.) Leonard, who, some say, succeeded his brother Norin;
3.) Bartholomew, who died young.
It has not been ascertained when Norman, the third possessor of the lands of Leslie, died. He was succeeded by his son Norino.Norman Leslie, de Lescelin Const of Inverury, Scotland

=== NORMAN, son of MALCOLM, witnessed a char ===
NORMAN, son of MALCOLM, witnessed a charter of Earl David [1206]. He was constable of Inverury in or before 1199, as such witnessing a charter of Matthew, Bishop of Aberdeen, who died that year. Before 1207 he granted the church of Leslie to the monks of Lindores, mentioning his wife A . . . . About 1224 he had a confirmation of the grant of Leslie, &c., with the lands of Caskieben in addition, from Earl David's son and successor. [CP 11:184]
____________________________________
Norman, son of Malcolm, is first so designed in a charter by Earl David to the Abbey of Lindores, dated not earlier than 1200 and not later than 1207. He also appears in another charter dated about 1202-3 to the same monks, as well as in a charter by Matthew, Bishop of Aberdeen for the erection of St Peter's Hospital, near Aberdeen, dated between 1182 and 1199, where he is designed Constable of Inverury, an office which was long in his family. Colonel Leslie states that his father Malcolm was the first Constable, but the authority given has not been found to bear out the statement. Norman, son of Malcolm, some time between 1200 and 1207, granted to the monks of Lindores the church of Leslie, with all its emoluments, for the souls of Earl David and Matilda his wife, and also for himself and A ----- his wife. This writ was confirmed about the same date by Earl David himself, and at a later period by the granter's son. Norman, son of Malcolm, had also a renewal of the grant of his lands of Leslie and others from his superior, John, Earl of Huntingdon, son of Earl David, at a date between 1219 and 1237. The grant of the church of Leslie by Norman to Lindores is specially safeguarded and an increase to his estate is made by the bestowal of the lands of Caskieben. In charters by Earl John about the same date Norman is styled as Constable. He died before August 1243, as appears from a charter of that date by his son and successor. His wife's name is unknown, her initial only being given in the grant of the church cited above. [The Scots Peerage VII:266]
