Description
Ralph de Lascelles, the knight, for the salvation of the soul of the late Sir Alexander Comyn, earl of Buchan, his lord, and his heirs, and for the salvation of his soul and for the soul of the late Matilda, his spouse, and for the souls of all his ancestors and successors, has given, granted and by this his present charter established to Lindores Abbey one mark of silver for sustaining two wax tapers before the great altar in the monastery, to be lighted at all masses, vespers, and matins of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and on all festivals when copes are worn. The mark is to be received every year from his land of Huchannane Locherton, which he held of the Earl of Buchan, by his hands or the hands of the farmers of the said land, or by the hands of his heirs, at the term of Whitsunday. The abbot and convent take on themselves in return for the one mark to maintain the two wax tapers. The abbot and convent shall have the right, in the event of the mark not being duly paid, to take poinds from him, or his heirs, or the farmer of the said land, if there be a farmer, and to seize all the goods of him, his heirs, or his farmer, which might be found on the said land, and to detain them, without repledging them to any, until the payment of the mark, and of arrears, if any, shall have been fully made. For himself and his heirs, he engages not to alienate the land in any way without securing the mark to Lindores. If the abbot and convent at any time refuse, God forbid, to maintain the two wax tapers, it shall be lawful for him and his heirs to retain the mark until the monks will revert to fulfilling the engagement.
