- Robert, king of Scots, has given his beloved brother Edward Bruce knight, for his homage and service, the whole earldom of Carrick, to be held by the legitimate male heirs and descending by the direct and masculine line, unless there be living descendants of brothers-german; holding in feu and heritage, with the name, right and dignity of an earl, as freely as the earldom was held in the time of King Alexander III, for the service that was owed and wont in the time of that king.
