  === Sir Michael Wemyss of Wemyss, who succee ===
  Sir Michael Wemyss of Wemyss, who succeeded, was already a knight in or about 1316 when he was a witness along with his father and grandfather to a charter of Christian Hay in favour of John, son of Ness Ramsay of the lands of Forthar, co Fife. Between 1328 and 1332 he had a grant of the lands of Wester Dron and others from Duncan, Earl of Fife. He also granted the lands of Nether Cameron to his kinsman Sir David, and cinfirmed the cnarter granted by his father to the hospital of Soutra. To this confirmation Sir Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, was a witness, with other magnates, which recalls the fact that it was at Wemyss that the Regent was seized with the fatal illness which caused his death some time after. If Sir Michael was present at the battle of Dupplin he escaped the carnage, and was at the coronation of Edward Baliol at Scone in September 1332. He was taken prisoner at Halidon on 19 July 1333, but was liberated on swearing fealty to King Edward III, to whose party he adhered until, at least, the year 1336. He has not been discovered on record after 1342, and he probably died about that year. His wife is not known, and though he is said to have left three sons, this is erroneous, and he is with good reason believed to have had three daughters. [The Scots Peerage VIII:480]
