=== Justiciary of the Lothians 1255, Sheriff ===
Justiciary of the Lothians 1255, Sheriff of Berwick 1258.
=== John, who appears as son of Malcolm Beg ===
John, who appears as son of Malcolm Beg in a charter by Maldowen, Earl of Lennox, before August 1248. It was probably he who was taken prisoner at Dunbar in 1296, imprisoned at Wisbeach, and liberated to serve in France, Sir Edmund Hastings, who then held the earldom of Menteith, becoming surety for him. He was still alive in May and October 1304, when his wife's dower lands, first those in England, then those in Northumberland, were restored, doubtless as a reward for foreign service. He apparently did not long survive, and his widow erected a monument to him near the high altar of the priory church of Inchmahome. Her Christian name was Elena. Her family name has not been ascertained, but tradition asserts she was the daughter of Walter Stewart, Earl of Menteith, and this is not improbable, as only 'founder's kin' could have right to bury in such a spot. Through her also, or holding through her lands in the earldom, the three bars wavy of Menteith are blazoned on his shielf. The monument bears his name 'Johannes de Dromod ffilius Molqualmi de Dromod,' the rest being imperfect. [The Scots Peerage VII:29]
___________________________
Sir John Drummond succeeded, on his father's death, to the estates of the house of Drummond, and was the eight seneschal of Lennox. He was a man of great parts, and of extensive influence. He lived in the times of those unhappy confusions, which arose at the death of Alexander III; and, amidst the various contests for the succession to the crown, he stood forth as the strenuous defender of the liberties of his country. With the other subjects in Scotland, he was obliged to swear allegiance to king Edward I, when that prince in 1296 overran the kingdom. In 1297, he was carried prisoner to England by Edward, for his adherence to the interests of Bruce; but he was, soon afterwards, permitted to return to Scotland, upon his finding bail to come back to England, with horses, arms, and other military stores, to assist the English monarch in his war with France.
He married a daughter of Walter Stewart, earl of Monteith in right of his countess, the brother of Alexander the sixth lord high steward of Scotland, who conquered Acho, king of the Danes, at Largs in 1263. By this lady he had three sons and two daughters. [House of Drummond pp18-19]
=== Malcolm, the next in succession, is said ===
Malcolm, the next in succession, is said to be described in a charter of 1260 as son of Malcolm Beg. He was the first on record to assume the surname of Drummond or Drumman, adapted no doubt from the lands of Drymen, or Drumman in Dumbartonshire. He appears as a juror on an inquest before Walter Stewart, Earl of Menteith, on 15 May 1271, and also as a witness to charters by Malcolm, fourth Earl of Lennox, dated at Renfrew and Balloch in 1273 and 1274, and at later but uncertain dates. He was probably the Sir Malcolm Drummond who, in 1296, was taken at Dunbar, and apparently again taken prisoner by Sir John Segrave in 1301, to the great joy of King Edward I, and was warded in varous English strongholds. In 1301, after his capture, the English King bestowed some of Sir Malcolm's land on Sir John Clinton. There is no evidence of his release, and being somewhat advanced in years, he probably died in captivity. He is said to have married a daughter of Sir Patrick Grahame. [The Scots Peerage VII:29-30]*According to the "Genealogical Memoir of the Most Noble and Ancient House of Drummond" there are several generations omitted between this Malcolm Drummond and Malcolm Beg. Chronology seems to support the findings in 'House of Drummond' and suggest that Sir Paul combined two different generations of the Malcolms into one person.
