I in the Scotch wars in 1302, from whose successor he obtained large grants of laud, chiefly 1. 1309. in eo. Lincoln, being styled in (1307-08), 1 Ed. II, " consanr/uinais Rc/is." He was Joint Warden of Scotland (south of Forth) and a Knight in 1308, and was sum. to Pari, as a Baron (LORD BEAUMONT) from 4 March (1308-9), 2 Ed. II, to 20 Oct. (1332), 0 Ed. Ill, and as EARL OF BOGHAX (i.e. BUCHAN) from 22 Jan. (1333-4), 7 Ed. Ill, to 16 Nov. (1339), 13 Ed. IHJ 4 ) This latter designation was from his having m. (about 1310) Alice, da. of Alexander Comyn and niece and heir of line to John, Eam. of BUCHAS [S.], with whom he had divers lauds, of which he had livery (1312-13) 6 Ed. II.

The first appears to be the most probable as the Baron's sister Isabel, wife of John de Vesci of Alnwick, co. Northumberland, is, in a deed of her said husband (1279-80), 8 Ed. I, whereby he covenants on his death s.p. to pay to Queen Eleanor 550 pounds of silver, called Kinsu'oman to the said Queen, and the Baron himself is styled, 1 Ed. II, " Consanguiueus Regis," the said King being s. of Eleanor aud not of Margaret. ( d ) There is proof of his sitting iu the Rolls of Pari.
