might have quartered the arms of Valoniis (which are, argent, three pallets waved
gules, and not azure, three water-budgets or, as 1 gave before in an Essay, p. 1 10.)
with those of Maule. Sir William was succeeded by his son Sir Henry, who was
succeeded again by his son Walter, and he by his son William, who married Ma-
rion Fleming, only daughter of Sir David Fleming, by his first wife Dame Jean
Barclay, daughter of Sir David Barclay Lord of Brechin, and sister to David Barclay
next Lord of Brechin, whose only daughter and heir, Margaret Barclay, married
Walter Earl of Athol, and died without heirs of her body.
To William Lord Panmure, and Marion Fleming his wife, succeeded their son Sir
THOMAS MAULE of Panmure, who was killed at Harlaw, anno 1411, whose son, Sir
Thomas Maule, was heir to Dame Margaret Barclay, Countess of Athol, and Lady
Brechin, in the said lordship of Brechin ; which was provided to her heirs, as is
plain by a charter under the Great Seal in the public records, dated the ipth of
October 1378. So that the family of Panmure having right to carry the arms of
the Lords of Brechin, are now in use to quarter them with their paternal, thus ;
quarterly, first parted per pale, argent and gules, a bordure charged with eight es-
calops, all counter-changed of the same, for Maule ; second argent, three pallets
waved gules, for the Valoniis ; third quarter, quarterly, first arid fourth azure, a
cheveron betwixt three crosses patees argent ; second and third or, three piles
issuing from the chief, conjoined by the points in base gules, for Barclay Lord
Brechin; and the fourth grand quarter as the first; which arms are adorned with
crown, helmet, and volets, befitting the quality of the family; and, on a wreath of
the tinctures, a dragon vert spouting out fire before and behind, proper ; for crest,
with the motto, on an escrol, dementia y animus, and supported by two grey-
hounds, proper, collared gules, charged with escalops argent.
The name of GRAHAM carries escalops, of whom before, Chap. XII. page
8. where
I gave the arms of Morphy, and shall only here add, that the arms of Graham of
Morphy are supported with two savages, wreathed about the head and middle with
laurel, all proper, which are to be seen on several places in the House of Morphy,
of the date 1549 ; as also on the seat of the family, in their parochial church of St
Cyrus, in the shire of the Merns. And, as on the Plate of Achievements, where
also are to be seen the arms of Graham of Meicklewood in Stirlingshire, whom
before, page 83. I gave also the designation of Meikle, instead of Meicklewood.
Escalops are the proper figures of those of the surname of PRINGLE, whose first
ancestor is said to be one Pelerin, a famous pilgrim in the Holy Land, who came to
Scotland, and the descendants from him were called at first Pilgrims, and afterwards
by corruption Pringles. The ancientest family of the name I have met
with in Teviotdale, where the name is most numesous, is HOP-PRINGLE of that ilk,
now designed of Torsonce, argent, on a bend sable, three escalops or: crest, an es-
calop as the former : motto, Amicitia reddit honores, (as in Plate of Achievements)
supported on the dexter by a deer, and on the sinjster by a greyhound argent,
with collars about their necks sable, charged with escalops or ; and upon the compartment
are these words, Pressa est insignis gloria facti. I have seen a charter of
Robert de Lauider, miles, Dominus de Qiiarleivood, to Thomas Borthwick, of some
lands about Lauder, in the reign of King Alexander III. to which charter Thomas
de is Hoppringle one of the witnesses ; and I have met with an evident in Haddington's
Collections, where King David the Bruce gives all the lands belonging to
Walter de Pringle, forfeited, lying in the shires of Teviotdale and Berwick, to John
Petillock, brother to William Petillock, miles.
