IX. Sir MALCOLM DRUMMOND, domi∣nus
de eodem. He made a great figure in the
reign of king Robert Bruce, to whom he was
a firm and steady friend, and immediately af∣ter
the battle of Bannockburn, obtained from
that great prince, for his good and faithful
services,* a grant of several lands in Perth∣shire,
anno 1315: and perhaps it is no im∣probable
conjecture, that the caltrops were
then first added by way of copartment to his
coat of arms, as they were used on that me∣morable
occasion, with great success, against
the English horse, and very possibly by the
advice or under the direction of sir Malcolm.
The year thereafter, in a full parliament,
where he sat as one of the barones majores
regni, he made a resignation into the king's
hands, in favours of sir Malcolm Fleming, fa∣ther
of the first earl of Wigton, of his lands
and barony of Auchindon in Dunbarton-shire,*
upon which lord Fleming got a charter under
the great seal, confirming the same to him,
anno 1316.
He married a daughter of sir Patrick Gra∣ham
of Kincardine, ancestor of the duke of
Montrose, by whom he had a son and suc∣cessor,
About Sir Malcolm Drummond, 10th Thane of Lennox
Sir Malcolm Drummond, 10th Thane of Lennox fought in the Battle of Neville's Cross, Durham in 1346. He died in 1346, killed in action.
The Battle of Neville’s Cross derives its name from a stone cross that Lord Neville paid to have erected on the battlefield to commemorate this remarkable victory. The fate of the unfortunate David II of Scotland is immortalised in Shakespeare’s play Henry V. In Act 1 Scene 3, Henry says to the Archbishop of Canterbury:
For you shall read that my great-grandfather / Never went with his forces into France / But that the Scot on his unfurnish’d kingdom/ Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, / With ample and brim fullness of his force; / Galling the gleaned land with hot essays, / Girding with grievous siege castles and towns; / That England, being empty of defence, / Hath shook and trembled at the ill neighbourhood.
But the Archbishop replies:
She hath been then more fear’d than harm’d my liege; / For hear her but exampled by herself: / When all her chivalry hath been in France, / And she a mourning widow of her nobles, / She hath herself not only well defended, / But taken, and impounded as a stray, / The king of Scots; whom she did send to France, / To fill King Edward’s fame with prisoner kings…

From Curt Hofeman PostEm 2010-03-28
"Malcolm, who appears on various occasions as a witness to charters by Malcolm, fifth Earl of Lennox, and also by Murdach, Earl of Menteith, between 1310 and 1332.(2-31) He is stated in a charter by King Robert Bruce, of uncertain date, but between 1315 and 1321, to have resigned the lands of Auchindonan, co. Dumbarton, in favour of Sir Malcolm Fleming.(3-31) That is nearly all that is recorded of him. The family histories state that in 1334 King Edward III. gave a grant of his lands to Sir John Clinton, but that is a misdating of the grant of 1301 already cited.(4-31) He had a charter from King David II. about 1346, of the lands of Tulliecravan and Dronan, co. Perth. Malcolm, or Sir Malcolm, as he is sometimes called, is said to have died about 1346, or soon after, but nothing certain has been ascertained. His chief memorial is that he was the father of Margaret Drummond, the second wife of King David II., through whose influence it is believed that her family first rose to a prominent position."
"Sir Malcolm had, so far as known, two sons and a daughter:—
1. John, who succeeded.
2. Maurice, who is designed brother of John in the agreement with the Menteiths ...
3. Margaret, designed by the writer of the _Liber Pluscardensis_ as daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond, a noble and very beautiful lady,(7-32) is overlooked entirely by the earlier historians of her family. She married, first, John Logie of that Ilk, and had by him a son, also named John. But in the end of 1362, or beginning of 1363, she became the mistress of King David II., and apparently before October 1363, and certainly before the following February, he made her his wife, at Inchmurdoch.
