Document 3/327/1 (Kel. Lib., no. 341)
- Description
- Stephen, lord of the villa and tenement of Closeburn, son and heir of Sir Adam of Kirkpatrick the knight, states that a lawsuit between Kelso Abbey, on the one part, and Sir Adam, his father, on the other, concerning the right of patronage of the church of Closeburn (DMF), was for some time stirred in the presence of ordinary judges as delegates, and right of patronage was adjudged to belong to the abbot and convent by definitive sentence. Stephen, by his own indemnity, wanting to look out for and to provide for the tranquility of the abbot and convent, approves the definitive sentence for them concerning right of patronage, against his father, and he totally resigns and quitclaims in perpetuity that entire right to the abbot and convent of Kelso and confirms the donation of Edgar and the renewal of Affrica, his daughter, to the abbot and convent, in pure and perpetual alms, just as their charters testify.
