The name Braque is given wrongly as " de Brague " in The Stuarts of Aubigny., by Lady E.Cust, and elsewhere. C") In the Scoti Peerage., vol. v, p. 347, he is said to have d. 15 June. The authority cited is Treasurer s Accounts [S.], vol. iv, p. 42. But the entry there runs " Item the xv day of Junij to the Kingis oflFerand at my Lord of Owbigneis saule mes, xiiij s., " and shows, on the contrary, that he d. some time before that date. (') This will, of " Baraldus Stewart, " and an inventory, are printed by A.Stuart, p. 207, and (with some differences) by Fraser, vol. ii, p. 186. The inventory gives the value of his goods as 2004 /., and " Summa omnium bonorum debitis extractis " as 1800 /. _or 1850 /.] — incorrectly rendered in The Stuarts of Aubigny^ p. 44, as " that he owed 1850 /. to different creditors.
