Two months later (20th April 1506) the extensive
lands belonging to the forfeited estate which lay in
upper Ewesdale, were granted by charter to Alexander
Lord Hume.f The lands in Wauchopedale were pro-
bably disposed of in like manner and at the same time,
but of this there is no record. In 1516 the Ewesdale
property was again in the Crown by forfeiture of Lord
Hume, and was granted to Robert Lord Maxwell.
