  === Life Sketch ===
  III. Sir WILLIAM de MORAVIA, the
  undoubted progenitor of the Morays of Both∣well,
  &c.* who, in a charter of king Willi∣am,
  is designed Willielmus de Moravia, fili∣us
  Willielmi, filii Friskini, &c. The char∣ter
  has no date, but, as Bricius bishop of
  Murray was witness to it, it must have been
  betwixt 1202, in which year the bishop was
  consecrated, and 1214, in which year king
  William died.
  
  There is a donation sanctae trinitati de Spy∣nie,
  made by Willielmus de Moravia, filius
  Willielmi, filii Friskini, &c. to which Hugh
  his brother, and Archibald de Douglas, are
  witnesses;* and Andrew bishop of Murray
  confirms donationem illam quam Willielmus,
  filius Willielmi, filii Friskini, fecit, ecclesiae
  de Spynie, &c. about the year 1224.
  
  This William was highly esteemed by king
  Alexander II. who conferred the honour of
  knighthood upon him; and we find him of∣ten
  designed miles, &c.
  
  He married the daughter of sir David Oli∣fard,*
  son of Walterus de Olifard, justiciarius
  Loudoniae, and proprietor of the lands of Both∣well,
  &c.
  
  With her he got the whole lordship of Both∣well,*
  (whereof the lands of Drumsargart were
  a part) which afterwards became the chief
  seat and title of the family.
  
  He got with her also the lands of Small∣ham
  in the shire of Berwick,*&c. and by
  her he had a son,
  
  Sir Walter, his heir.
  
  'Tis said he had several other sons, of
  whom some considerable families of the name
  of Murray are descended; but we cannot
  pretend to ascertain or connect them.
  
  He died anno 1225, and was succeeded by
  his son,
  
  IV. Sir WALTER MORAY, who, succeed∣ing
  also to the estate and lordship of Bothwell,
  Page 81
  
  in right of his mother; was the first of the
  name of Moray that was designed by that
  title.
  
  In a composition betwixt Andrew, bishop
  of Murray,*& Gilbertum hostiarium, Walte∣rus
  de Moravia, filius quondam Willielmi de
  Moravia, &c. is a witness, anno 1226.
  
  There is another composition betwixt An∣drew
  bishop of Murray & nobilem virum Wal∣terum
  de Moravia,*filium quondam Willielmi
  de Moravia, &c. to which Walter de Mora∣via,
  son of Hugo, William de Moravia, Alex∣ander
  vicecomes de Elgin, &c. are witnesses,
  anno 1229.
  
  In a convention betwixt Andrew, bishop of
  Murray, and David de Strabogie, son of Dun∣can
  earl of Fife,*Walterus de Moravia, miles,
  Walterus de Duffus, Walterus de Innes, &c.
  are witnesses, anno 1232.
  
  He was one of the magnates Scotiae who
  were guarantees in a treaty of peace betwixt
