(1314 - 1392)

This person was created through the import of Acrossthepond.ged on 21 February 2011.

=== Note ===: Dirleton Castle is a well-preserved medieval fortress. It is the caput of the feudal barony of Dirleton, said to be one of the oldest in Scotland (This barony did not, however, cover the entire parish). It was built in the middle of the twelfth century by a branch of the Anglo-Norman family of De Vaux, a family with its origins in Rouen, Noramndy, which had settled at Dirleton during the reign of King Malcolm IV (1153-1165). They also held the manor of Golyn and parts of the lands of Fenton. In 1298 when King Edward I of England invaded Scotland, no place was able to resist him except Dirleton castle. After a resolute resistance it surrendered to forces under Antony Beck, Bishop of Durham. It was still in English possession in 1306. The heiress of William de Vaux, Lord of Dirleton, brought the barony and estates to her husband, Sir John de Haliburton, about 1430. Their grandson, Sir Walter de Haliburton, High Treasurer of Scotland, was created a Lord of Parliament in 1447.

It was built in the middle of the twelfth century by a branch of the Anglo-Norman family of de Vaux, a family with its origins in Rouen, Normandy, who had settled at Dirleton during the reign of King Malcolm IV (1153-1165).
