== Biography ==
}
}Sir Thomas Boyd, "dnus de Kylmornowe" 4th Feudal Baron of Kilmarnock. He was the son of Sir Thomas Dominus of Kilmarnock and was notable for being one of the sureties, or hostages, for [[Stewart-419|King James I]] who had been held by the English as prisoner for 19 years.Arthur S. Boyd, ''The Boyd Family'' (New York: Leland E Dorothy, 1924), 10-11, digital images, https://archive.org/details/boydfamilybyarth00boyd/page/10/mode/1up/search/Duchall
The King came to Scotland, May 31, 1421, to make arrangements with his subjects for his ransom. The King was released by the English on the promise of the Scots to pay a ransom of 40,000 pounds, and he ascended the throne in 1424. Sir Thomas Boyd was one of the hostages handed over to the English as security for the payment. The payment however, was never made, as the King wasted the money that was raised for his ransom and many of the hostages died in the English prisons. Sir Thomas was delivered as hostage May 28, 1424, and was released July 16, 1425, being probably compelled to pay his own ransom.
He died July 7, 1432, and is buried at Kilmarnock, Scotland with the monument to him and his wife reading: "Hic Iacet Thomas Boyde, Dominus de Kilmarnock, qui obitt Septimo de mensis Julii, 1432" and "Johanne Montgomery, eins sposa Orat, pro iis".
== Family == He married [[Montgomerie-86|Johanna Montgomery]], daughter of [[Montgomerie-92|Sir John Montgomery of Androssan]] around 1404.
They had two sons: * [[Boyd-687|Sir Thomas Boyd]]: 5th Feudal Baron of Kilmarnock * [[Boyd-694|William Boyd]]: Abbot of Kilwinning, (1443-1474), who obtained from King James III a charter confirming grants of the Crown to the abbey.
