==FAMILY OF LESLIE==
:Norman, the son of [[ Leslie-690 |Malcolm ]], married a daughter of Stuart, Earl of Lorn, by whom he had — I. [[ Leslie-692 | Norino]], his successor ; II. Leonard, who, some say, succeeded his brother Norino ; III. Bartholomew, who died young.
Norman, the son of Malcolm, succeeded his father about 1176.
About the year 1224 Norman obtained a charter confirming to him, as Norman the son of Malcolm, the lands of Lesselyn, Achnagart, and Mile, and their pertinents, with the exception of the church of Lesselyn, which the said Norman had previously granted to the abbey and monks of Lindores. By this charter Norman also received a grant, for the first time that the family held them, of the lands of Caskyben, now called Keith Hall.
Norman appears to have succeeded his father Malcolm in his office of Constable of Inverurie. Under this title he is named as a witness in a deed by which David, Earl of Huntingdon, renounced, in favour of the Earl of Mar, all claim to a serf called Gillecriste MacGillekuncongal, and
his four sons, the two Gillecristes, and Gillenem, and Gillemartin.
Norman, the Constable of Inverurie, also appears as a witness to a charter granted in the reign of William the Lion, by Matthew Kinninmount. Bishop of Aberdeen from 1165 to 1197, for the erection of St. Peter's Hospital in the Spittal, near Aberdeen.
Norman, the son of Malcolm, and Constable of Invenuie, is also one of the witnesses to the charter of foundation granted to the Church and abbey of Lindores, by David, Earl of Huntingdon, between 1202 and 1206.
Norman, the son of Malcolm, married a daughter of Stuart, Earl of Lorn, by whom he had — I. Norino, his successor ; II. Leonard, who, some say, succeeded his brother Norino ; III. Bartholomew, who died young.
It has not been ascertained when Norman, the third possessor of the lands of Leslie, died. He was succeeded by his son Norino.
