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.

He was the most notable Scottish casualty at the Battle of Falkirk, fought on 22 July 1298, when the Scottish forces were routed by Edward I of England's stronger force of cavalry.
