Biography

Archibald Livingston is a member of Clan Livingstone.

THERE S A PROBLEM WITH THIS PROFILE AND RECONCILING WITH ancestors/descendants

Sir Archibald de Livingston (died 1313) was the founder of the Livingstons of Linlithgow and Stirling, but the main line became extinct in 1512. He was Sheriff of Linlithgow in 1302 and Sheriff of Linlithgow and Stirling in 1303. Sir Bernard Burke wrote that Sir Archibald was the next in this line, and the father of Sir William Livingston who fought against the English at Halidon Hill, July 19th, 1333 and died in 1339. However, on pages 7 and 8 of The Livingstons of Callendar Mr. E. B. Livingston clearly refutes this and other errors by Sir Bernard Burke.
