• Helias Dundas o Circa 1140  

The family of Dundas, is descended from Cospatrick, earl of Northumberland, who, in 1066, went into Scotland, with King Malcolm Canmore, rather than submit to the Conqueror of England. King Malcolm gave him the lands of Dunbar, and many other possessions in Scotland. Waldeve, his eldest son, gave, anno 1124, the lands of Dundas, to Helias, son of his brother Huchtred.

Cospatrice was the father of the first Earl of March and Dunbar. Helias assumed the "Lion of Dunbar" as his Arms, with the transmutation of tinctures only, namely, Argent, a lion rampant gules (a red lion on a silver or white field). His Crest was a lion's head, full faced, looking through a bush of oak. The supporters were two lion gules; below the shield, for a device, a salamander in flame
