Biography

Sir Malcolm de Drummond, Knt. was the son of Malcolm de Drummond and an unknown daughter of Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine,^[1] although there is no reliable proof of his mother's identity. His name appeared as witness on a number of charters between 1310-1332 by Malcolm, fifth earl of Lennox, and Murdach, earl of Menteith.^[2] He was a supporter of King Robert I and his heir, the young king David II.^[3] In retaliation for his support for the Bruce, Edward III granted additional portions Drummond's land to Sir John Clinton.^[2] In 1346 David II rewarded him with a charter of the lands of Tulliecravan and Dronan in Perth.^[2]

The name of Sir Malcolm de Drummond's wife is not known, but he had at least two sons and a daughter:

• Sir John Drummond, his heir; m. Mary Montefichet;^[4] d. bef. 1361^[4]
• Maurice Drummond, 1st of Concraig; m. Mariota Erskine;^[5] d. aft.1368^[5]
• Margaret Drummond; m.(1) Sir John Logie of that Ilk;^[6][7]m.(2) 20 Feb 1363 David II, King of Scots^[6][7]

The Red Book of Scotland gives him one additional son, Walter Drummond, who was a 'churchman' and appointed as clerk to his brother-in-law, King David II.^[3] However, no sources are given for this son nor is it specified that his mother was Drummond's wife.

The exact date of Sir Malcolm de Drummond's death is unknown, but believed to have been late in 1346 or soon after.^[2]

Research Notes

• An unsourced profile for S. Strathbogie was originally attached as the wife of this Malcolm de Drummond. Reliable sources appear to be in universal agreement that the name of Malcolm's wife is not known, so S. Strathbogie has been removed until evidence can be found to support any connection.^[2][3] Stevens-17832 20:36, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• An unsourced profile for Thomas Drummond was originally attached as a son of this Malcolm de Drummond. He has also been removed until reliable sources have been found to support this relationship. Stevens-17832 20:57, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
