Dating Notes
Thomas of Restalrig witnessed a charter of King William, 1209×10 (<em>RRS</em> ii, no. 492) and was sheriff of Edinburgh at some point between 20 Aug. 1216 and 3 Nov. 1219 (<em>Dunf. Reg.</em>, no. 155). He also witnessed a charter dating to 1227×30 (<em>Moncreiffes</em>, no. 2) and was involved in a dispute on 6 Oct. 1226 (_Dunf. Reg._, no. 218), and granted to Inchcolm Priory, 1220×26 (_Inchcolm Chrs._, no. 13). The wording of the description of the toft clearly suggests that Philip de Valognes is still alive.
