C") On 4 Mar. 1 580/1 the charter (made "per quondam consanguineum nostrum, yc") was confirmed under the great seal to the said Michael, his heirs male " et assignatis hereditarie de totis et integris terris Baroniae de Carlyle, cum castro et fortalicio de Torthorwald, ^c." This settlement, however, after long litigation, appears to have been set aside, and the Barony of Carlyle was found to belong to Elizabeth, the heir general. In 1730 William Carlyle of Lochartur was served h. to Michael, 4th Lord Carlyle, as s. and h. of Robert C. of L., who was s. and h. of William C. of L., who was s. and h. of Michael C, 2nd s. and h. male of Michael, Lord Carlyle. The Peerage appears never to have been assumed or claimed by any of the above as heirs male of the grantee. 6
