Notes for PATRICK DE BERCLAY:
In 1421 was a "bruch" (suretie) with two other Barclays, for Alexander Berkeley of Mathers. This seems to have been for proof of the kinship of the Scottish Barclays to Macduff. It is quite possible that Mathers had taken part in some fued, for, by the "Law of the Clan Macduff," those who could claim kindred with Macduff, Earl of Fife, within the ninth degree (canon Law), were immuned for homicide if they could reach Macduff's Cross, which stood on the march between Fife and Strathearn, near Newburgh, and pay a fine of nine kye (cows) and a colpindash (a young cow), when they were then absolved from any slaughter which they might have committed.
