    Notes:

    The Leslie clan traces back to the daughter of Duncan I (King of Scotland) who married "Bartholemew" - a nobleman from Hungary. A set of books that takes this line back to before Charlemagne is online - just google the title (Historical Records of the family of Leslie from 1067 to 1868-9). There are 3 volumes (Our Wm is in Vol III). It was written by Col Leslie who was about the 27th Baron of Balquhain, published in 1869, the year he died. Hamelin succeeded his father as the Baron of Balguhain in 1351.

    Notes:

    In 1340, he received a royal grant for lands in Balquhain, Syde and Braco for his services in battle for Robert the Bruce and became the prognitor of the famous Leslie family in Scotland, Ireland, France, and Germany. He was given the title First Baron of Balquhain at that time. He had actually received the land in Balquhain from his father, but was given royal grant for it of higher rank in 1340. This was after Robert the Bruce had passed in 1329.
