  === NORMAN DE LESCELIN, son of NORMAN the Co ===
  NORMAN DE LESCELIN, son of NORMAN the Constable, confirmed his father's grant to Lindores, 25 August 1243. As Norman (printed Norino) son of Norman, he witnessed a charter of Fergus, Earl of Buchan [SCT], before 1214. In December 1248 he had a grant of free forest in Leslie (Letthelyne) from Alexander II. He was living in July 1253, when he granted a charter to Lindores. [Complete Peerage XI:184]

  Norman, son of Norman, succeeded, He is, in the earlies known reference to him, as a witness to a charter (dated before 1211) by Fergus, Earl of Buchan, to John, son of Uchtred, called 'Norin, son of Norman.' 'Norino' by Colonel Leslie, but in dated charters granted by himself on 25 August 1243 and 12 July 1253 he styles himself 'Norman, son of Norman the Constable,' and 'Norman of Lescelin, son of Norman the Constable.' In the earlier writ he confirms to the monks of Lindores the grant made by his father of the church of Leslie; and in the later writ he hands over to them all rights of bondship over a certain man and his issue, and quitclaims his rights in favour of the abbey. Between these two dates, in the year 1248, he had a grant from King Alexander II allowing him to hold his lands of Leslie and the wood of Leslie in free forest. This was done at the request of his immediate superiors, Isobel, the second daughter of Earl David, and her son Robert Bruce, who had succeeded 'inter alia' to the Earl's lands. In this charter he is also styled 'Norin' son of Norman the Constable, and is referred to as their 'tenant' in the lands. Norman or Norin was the first to assume the surname of Leslie, and he styles himself Norman of Leslie, son of Norman, in the charter of 12 July 1253 already cited. How long after this he lived has not been ascertained. It has been stated that he married the heiress of Teases and other lands in Fifeshire, whose hame, according to Colonel Leslie, was Blair. But the evidence advanced is not conclusive.
  
  Colonel Leslie states that Norman was father of a Leonard Leslie and William, Abbot of Cupar, but there is no evidence as to Leonard, and though there was a William, Abbot of Cupar, from 1258 to 1272, whose surname is unknown, there is nothing to show that he was a Leslie. A Simon de Lescelyn or Leslie appears in 1278 as a witness to a writ signed in the Castle of Edinburgh, but nothing further is known of him. [The Scots Peerage VII:267-268]
