Summonses. Judicial records.
Found in 184 Collections and/or Records:
[Summons], signeted penult February 1612, John Bannatyne, indweller in Edinburgh, against Sir Robert Halket of Pitfirrane, knight, and Patrick Halket of Lumphananis, his brother, 1000 merks borrowed money., 28 February 1612.
The charter and legal material contained here is of importance as giving the continuous history of a landed family in Fife from the 13th to the 18th century. The Halkett family appear to have risen partly on the decline of the Lochores of Lochore. By 1431, the former are having transumpts made of charters of the early 13th century granted to the latter (Ch.6018-6019).
