Copy of charter granting the lands of Dundas to Helias

"Waldevus, son of Cospatric, to all his good men and all his friends, present and to come: Greeting!
Know ye that I have given and granted and by this my charter confirmed to Helias, son of Huctred, "Dundas" for half a knight's service, to be held by him and his heirs of me and my heirs in fee and heritage, in moors, in waters, in stanks, in mills, in meadows, in pastures with all its rights, marches and pertinents.
I grant therefore and will and charge that the aforementioned said Helias have and hold that land so quietly and so freely and so honourably in all the land of the King of Scotland"

Before these Witnesses; John son of Orm
Waldev son of Baldwin, Robert of Saint Michael,
Helias of Hadenstanden, William of Copland,
William of Helebet, Aldan the Steward,
Gerard the Knight, John of Gragin.

Helias assumed the name of Dundas from his lands and to denote his descent from the ancient Earls of March, he took for his armorial bearings; argent, a lion rampant, gules, being the same with that noble family, only differing in tinctures, as a proper mark of cadency.

Occupations : Knight. Sir Hugh Dundas fought alongside William Wallace against Edward the 1st of England.

From "Wallace the hero of Scotland by James Paterson":

Wallace was still at the siege of St Johnston, which the English defended with great courage. One morning they made a sally with five hundred men, against Scot and Dundas at the south port. They were ultimately beaten back, however, with considerable loss. Dundas, who had advanced beyond his supports, was taken prisoner, and carried before the Earl of York, who courteously returned him to Wallace, for which the latter sent a messenger, thanking him largely.

A strong assault was then made, when a thousand Englishmen were slain, and the
walls carried. Amidst the general slaughter which ensued, Wallace sent his herald to save the Earl of York, in return for his humanity to Dundas.

From Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland, Vol 111: "Edward 111 1335, Warrant to the Chancellor to issue separate letters under the Great Seal, pardoning of all offences since the beginning of the world to date; Sir William de Moubray, Sir Roger de Moubray, Sir Alexander de Cragy, "le pere" Alexander de Cragy, "le fuiz", John de Dumbarre, Philip de Glen, William Dalmoy, James de Dundasse, etc etc......Scottish gentlemen who have come to the King's peace under the conditions of Alexander de Moubray."

James Dundas was excommunicated by the Abbot of Dunfermline, because he persisted in molesting the Abbey boatmen at the landing-rock, North Queensferry.

ABSOLUTION FROM EXCOMMUNICATION Granted by the Abbot of Dunfermline to James de Dundas

"MEMORANDUM. - That in the year of God, 1342, on Wednesday before the Feast of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, Alexander, by the grace of God, Abbot of Dunfermline, went down to the south side of the Queens's Ferry, at the request of James de Dundas, concerning an amicable termination of a dispute that had arisen between him and the Abbot, on account of his molesting the Abbot's men and boat landing at two rocks within the flowing of the tide, as they were wont to do.  However, James de Dundas had alleged these rocks, to be his property, though the Abbot, his predecessors, and the Monastery, had quietly and peaceably enjoyed the right of landing on them beyond the memory of man, and on this had a Charter from King David, their founder and first patron, as also the Confirmations of the various Kings, his successors, and Popes, as the Abbot then exhibited, in presence of the following subscribing witnesses, viz., Magister Johannes de Gaytmilk, Alanus de Liberton, Michael Squier, Radulphus Clericus, Johannes de Herth, Alanus Dispenser, Richardus filius Willielmi Scrismour, Robertus Young, Johannes filius Henry, Johannes de Lochilde, Radulphus Gourley, as also before others, inhabitants of the ferry.  James de Dundas had, on account of his molestation, incurred the general sentence of Excommunication contained in the Confirmation of the Popes, which he had during some time obdurately resisted, until, on the before-mentioned day, he humbly supplicated the Abbot, sitting along with some of his Council on these rocks, as being in possession of them, that he would absolve him from the sentence of Excommunication, as far as lay in his power, on his finding security to abstain from the like molestation; but, were it ever repeated, he should immediately again incur the same censure."
