  Notes	Name Suffix: Lord of Duffus William, son of Freskin, is a witness to a charter granted by Malcolm IVto Berowaldus Flandrensis of the lands of Innes, at Christmas 1160.Between 1165 and 1171 he obtained a charter from William the Lion of thelands of Strabrok, Duffus, Rosisle, Inchikel, Machir, and Kintrai, 'quasterras pater suus Friskin tenuit tempore regis David avi mei. Thischarter is now missing, but it was seen and copied by Nisbet. Williamwitnessed several charters of King William between 1187 and 1199, anddied about 1203, when his eldest son appears as Lord of Duffus. Mr CosmoInnes, editor of the 'Chartulary of Moray,' founding for want of betterauthority, on a marginal note in the register relative to Gilbert,Archdeacon of Moary, afterwards Bishop of Caithness - 'Iste Gilbertuserat filius domini de Duffus' - remards that if the anonymous annotatorbe correct, Gilbert, along with John and Richard his brothers, must allapparently have been sons of William, son of Freskin, Lord of Duffus, andnephews of Hugh Freskin. But if Richard, brother of Gilbert, be identicalwith the Richard de Moravia to whom the Abbot of Dunfermline, about 1240,gives and confirms all his lands of Kildun, near Dingwall, in Ross, thenthe annotator must be wrong, because this Richard is distinctly called'filius Murdaci filii Alexandri de Moravia.' [The Scots PeerageII:121-122] William, son of Freskin, who under that designation appears on recordfirst as a witness to a charter granted at Perth by King Malcolm IV in1160 to Berowald the Fleming of the lands of Innes, in Morayshirer.Between 1166 and 1171 he had the grant, already cited, of his father'slands of Duffus, etc. He witnessed a number of royal charters, chieflythose granted at Elgin or elsewhere in his own neighbourhood, though heis also found further afield. He seems to have survived the year 1204, ifhe were the William Fresekyn who was Sheriff of Invernaryn in that year.[The Scots Peerage VIII:320]
