  2.   William's marriage to Giles was arranged at the time his widowed father married her widowed mother. Their marriage indenture stated: 'Also he [William] binds him to cause his son and appeirand air Wm Cuningham to marry Geilis Campbell, daughter to the said Marian Auchinleck, and, failing Geilis, to marry her sister Margaret, and, failing Margaret, to marry a third sister, Jonet. And in case he marry none of them, then to pay 300 mks.'
    The feud in which William was killed was that between the families of Cuninghame (especially the Earls of Glencairn) and the Montgomeries of Eglinton. The feud began when Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton (who may earlier have been involved in the deaths of the 1st and 2nd Earls of Glencairn) was created Bailie of Cunningham in 1498. This brought him into serious disputes with the Cunningham family, traditionally lords of that area. In 1528 the Cunninghams had burnt down the castle of Eglintoun. William's murderers were members of the Semphill family, relatives by marriage of the Montgomeries.[1]
