Gray Family History: Fulbert de Gray was Great Chamberlain to Robert, Governor of Normandy, and owned by Picardy. There is a tradition that his daughter Arlotta was the mother of William the Conqueror and that the family came to England in 1066 with the Norman Conquest. The name first appeared in Scotland in 1248 and Henry Gray of Fife paid tribute to Edward I in 1296, but, like many other stable families of that time, he succeeded Robert the Bruce when the time was right. It was Sir Andrew Gray who crossed the Edinburgh Castle rock to retrieve it in English in 1312 and was awarded a place at Longforgan in Perthshire. In 1377, the lands of Fowlis also passed on to the Gray family by marrying the daughter of the powerful Maule family, and in 1444, the descendants of Sir Andrew, also Sir Andrew, and a faithful supporter of James I and II, were created 1st. Lord Gray. The Grays then stayed close to Stewart's ruling House. Patrick, son of 2nd Lord Gray, was the Gentleman of the Bedchamber of James II. King 3 Gray was King Justice General of Scotland in 1506. Patrick, 5th Lord Gray, was imprisoned in the Battle of Solway Moss in 1542 and was rescued for £ 500 sterling, the prince's total amount at the time. Patrick, 6th Lord Gray, was caught in a conspiracy around the fall of Mary Queen of Scots and although he tried to rebel, he was released and exiled. Andrew, the 7th Lord Gray, followed the Marquis of Montrose. In 1639, he resigned his title in order to obtain a new patent for his daughter Ann who was married to his cousin William Gray, a minor of Pittendrum. William was twice killed along with Earl of Southesk in 1660 and the title was passed on to Moray, but on the death of Earl 14th Moray passed it on to his nephew Baroness Gray himself.
