| Bertolf / Bartolf / Bartholomew (d c1121) | |||||||||||||||
| Bartolf was probably a Hungarian nobleman who came to Scotland in 1067 with Margaret who later married King Malcolm Canmore. He became her Lord Chamberlain. According to 'LeslieRecords', his wife is identified in some sources as "one of the ladies of honour to Queen Margaret" and in others as one of King Malcolm's sisters (sometimes named Beatrix). Although the following Malcolm is recorded as "son of Bertolf", it is possible that there was an intervening generation, perhaps of another Bertolf or of another Malcolm, as the dates do not match easily. | |||||||||||||||

| 'LeslieRecords' shows just one Christian of this generation, daughter of Christian Halyburton and wife of George Leslie. TSP shows the Christian who was daughter of Christion as m. William Sinclair (as above, which is supported by TCP (Sinclair)) and that it was a 2nd 'Christian of this generation, who was possibly illegitimate, who married George Leslie. | |||||||||||||||

| m. Donald MacDonald, Lord of the Isles (d 1423) | -- | ||||||||||||||
| (iii) | Mary Leslie | -- | |||||||||||||
| The identity of Sir David Hamilton's wife is not clear. Indeed, the existence of this Mary is contested. She is mentioned by 'LeslieRecords' & 'HamiltonHistory' whilst TSP names the wife of Donald of the Isles as 'Margaret or Mary Leslie'. Her sister is sometimes identified as Walter's only daughter (or Alexander's only sister). | |||||||||||||||
| m. Sir David Hamilton (d 1374) | -- | ||||||||||||||
| (E) | George Leslie, 1st of Balquhain (d c1351) | -- | |||||||||||||
| BLG1850 (Leslie of Balquhain) identifies George as son of Sir Norman by his second wife, Elizabeth daughter of the Lord of Douglas, but Elizabeth is not mentioned in either TSP or BP, and no record of Elizabeth has so far been found in any Douglas record, whilst Mary Abernethy is known to have married again after Sir Andrew died. 'LeslieRecords' (vol 3, p1) confirms that (Sir) George was son of Sir Andrew by Mary Abernethy. | |||||||||||||||
