Notes about ROGER GIFFARD

The direct lines o the Giffards of Yester began in the mid 12th century Lothian region of Scotland, and came to an end with the heiresses of the 14th century. Their blood descendants continued through the Hays, Maxwells, Boyds, and other prominent Scottish families, which has resulted in the present-day genealogical interest in these medieval Giffard and Morham ancestors.

Notes
Hugh Giffard, the first lord of Yester, appeared in Scotland by the mid 1150's along with his brothers William and Walter Giffard. The Giffards certainly evidenced a close connection with the retinue of Ada de Warrene, Countess of Huntington. Ada was the widowed mother of King Malcolm IV, King Wiiliam I, and David, Earl of Huntington. Hugh Giffard had a close association with each of these figures, and possessed a social status which made him one of the most favored of the Anglo-Normans in the royal court of Scotland in the mid 12th century. http://community-2.webtv.net/NUbrubun55/GIFFARDOFYESTER/index.html
