| He is said to have been at the battle of Otterburn, and to have there taken prisoner with his own hand Ralph Percy, brother of Henry Hotspur, Earl of Northumberland. It was probably he who in 1395 besieged his aunt, Lady Lindsay, in her castle of Fyvie, when she bravely held the castle until her husband's arrival. He was betrothed to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Graham, but died before marriage, at a date previous to 1 August 1404, when she had a dispensation to marry Walter [Stewart], Earl of Caithness.3 | ||
