He had charters of Dundaff and Strathcarron.

In 1244 he was a guarantor of an Anglo-Scots treaty. He must therefore have died after that year.^[4]

Research note by John M Sutherland-Fisher Scottish Clans Protocol Team Leader

There seems to be a conflict among a number of authors as to the identity of leading members of the Graham family from the reign of Alexander II through to that of Robert the Bruce. Some of the marriages etc detailed in the People of Mediaeval Scotland simply defy logic so I have taken the family and listed it generation by generation as detailed by Sir Robert Douglas in his Peerage of Scotland published in 1764.
