Fact | Petition of Robert de Pinkeny (by dubiously legitimate descent) [John of] Caen: The petitioner of Robert de Pynkeny is the following: [Andrew de] Tange: Truly from Lord Robert de Pynkeny, on behalf of his case it was in the same place put forward, related, and sought in this way: Caen and Tange: David, the king of Scotland [David I], was the father of Henry*, Henry was the father of William**, William was the father of a first Alexander [Alexander II], the first Alexander [Alexander II] was the father of a second Alexander [Alexander III], and he [Alexander III] was the father of a third Alexander, who died without offspring, and David, who similarly died without offspring, and Margareta***, the queen of Norway, from whom another Margareta [Margaret, the Maid of Norway] was born, who has now died without offspring. By the previously mentioned Henry, father of King William, likewise fathered a certain Margeria [the editor has a footnote on her name which I think means that some manuscripts say Margareta], from whom Alicia (was born), and from her, Henry de Pynkeny, by whom Robert de Pynkeny [was fathered], who now seeks the kingdom of Scotland, by reversion and resort to the [previously] mentioned Margeria his great-grandmother, because of the failure of offspring issuing from the [previously] mentioned Margareta, the daughter of the king of Norway. * who died before his father, King David, died ** who became King William "the lion" after the reign of his elder brother and Henry's son, Malcom IV ***who married Erik II of Norway | |
