CARMICHAEL Earl of HYNDFORD.

THIS antient sirname is local, and was as∣sumed by the proprietors of the lands and barony of Carmichael, in the shire of La∣nark, which has been long in the possession, and still is one of the chief seats of this noble family.

The first of them we find upon record is,

I. WILLIAM de CARMYCHEL, who liv∣ed in the reign of king David Bruce, and is mentioned in a charter of the lands of Pon∣feigh,* 1.1 about the middle of the 14th century, 1350.

He was father of,

II. JOHN de CARMYCHEL, who flou∣rished in the reigns of king Robert II. and III. and who got a charter of the lands of Carmichael,* 1.2 anno 1370, from William earl of Douglas and Marr, then superior there∣of.

He was the first baron of Carmichael, and left issue a son,

III. WILLIAM, who succeeded him, and was second baron of Carmichael.

In a charter of a donation to the priory of St. Andrews,* 1.3 he is designed Willielmus Car∣michael dominus ejusd. anno 1410.

He was succeeded by his son,

IV. Sir JOHN, third baron of Carmichael, a man of undaunted courage and resolution. He accompanied Archibald earl of Douglas, and John earl of Buchan, to France, anno 1419, who went with 7000 auxiliaries to the assistance of king Charles VI. against the English, and remarkably distinguished himself at the battle of Beauge, where he so surious∣ly attacked the duke of Clarence, that he broke his spear in the encounter. The duke there lost his life, and the Scots obtained an important victory over the English.* 1.4 Sir John, in memory of the above bold action, got added to his paternal arms, a dexter hand and arm, armed, holding a broken spear, which is now the crest of the family.

In an indenture or submission entered into by sir Herbert Maxwell, lord of Carlaverock, and sir John Sinclair, lord of Herdmanston, James Douglas, lord Balvenie, and this sir John de Carmichael,* 1.5 were arbiters upon the part of sir Herbert, anno 1427.
