    (p.444) I. Sir Andrew de Livingston, Knight, Sheriff of Lanark in 1296, in which year, as a Scottish landowner, he swore fealty to Edward I. of England at Berwick-on-Tweed. He was also one of the Scottish magnates summoned by the writ of the same monarch (24 May 1297) to attend his expedition to Flanders, and he was evidently the Sheriff of Lanark who was slain at the outbreak of Wallace's revolt in the latter year. He married Elene de Caranteleigh, a Lanarkshire landowner in her own right, by whom he had issue:-
    II. Sir William de Livingston, Lord of Gorgyn, Craigmillar, and Drumry, Knight Banneret...

  3. ↑ Some have suggested that Sir Andrew de Livingston was still the Sheriff of Lanark in 1297 when the Sheriff of Lanark was killed in the 1297. According to a discussion at <http://ourscotland.myfreeforum.org/archive/who-really-was-the-sheriff-of-lanark__o_t__t_8043.html> who wrote: Reply back from Dr Fiona Watson and have got her permission to post her thoughts on here:

    "I'm afraid the existence of William Heselrig as sheriff of Lanark and the man Wallace killed is testified to is in no less a source than the detailed charges laid against Wallace at Westminster in August 1305. The Latin claims that Wallace 'attacked, wounded and killed William de Heselrig, sheriff of Lanark, who [held or was holding] the pleas of the king in open county court and afterwards in contempt of hte king he cut up the sheriff, slain thus in pieces'."

    The last mention of Sir Andrew de Livingston in known records in the king's writ of summons from 24 May 1297, so it is not unreasonable to suppose that Sir Andrew did die about this time, and possibly in the rebellion.
