=== Life Sketch ===
Herbert....of Carlaverock, on the Solway Firth, which he held by 1300, when the celebrated Seige of it by the English took place; swore fealty to Edward I following the English victory over the Scots of Dunbar 27 April 1296; allegedly killed at the English victory over the Scots of Falkirk 22 July 1298. [Burke' Peerage]
Jim weber notes: "Burke's Peerage does not try to explain how a man 2 years dead holds a castle, but it may have been his son who held it in 1300 because Herbert died supposedly in 1298."
SIR HERBERT DE MAXWELL, son and heir according to a charter variously assigned by Sir William Fraser to, "in or before 1266" and "circa 1270." He sat in the Parliament at Scone, February 1283/4, which acknowledged the "Maid of Norway" as heiress presumptive of the Scottish crown, and attended the convention at Brigham, March 1289/90, which ratified the proposal for her marriage to Prince Edward of England. In the dispute for the crown which followed her death Maxwell acted as one of Baliol's commissioners, 1292. After Edward I's victory at Dunbar he swore fealty to the English King at Montrose, 10 July 1296, and again, 28 August, at Berwick. He was one of the Scottish magnates summoned to serve with Edward I in Flanders, 1297; and is said to have fallen at the battle of Falkirk, 1298. [Complete Peerage VIII:587, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
