Notes about Maurice Drummond

MAURICE DRUMMOND, "the Hungarian," FOUNDER OF THE HOUSE OF DRUMMOND, 1st HERITABLE THANE OF LENNOX

.5em; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Among the illustrious attendants, who landed" with Edgar Atheling in Scotland, was Maurice, an Hungarian, the founder of the house of Drummond. He is said to have been the son of George, a younger son of Andrew king of Hungary. Educated at the court with the Saxon princes, his friendship for their family early commenced, and, amidst all the vicissitudes of their fortune, his attachment to their interests was firm and sincere. When invited over to England, he accompanied them to the court of Edward; and, when the cruelties of the Norman conqueror drove them from the kingdom of their ancestors, Maurice set sail with them for Hungary, and shared, all the dangers of their flight. He is said to have been the commander of the ship, in which the royal fugitives escaped; and, when the furious storm assailed them on the ocean, the vessel was preserved by his skilful conduct, and the royal family safely landed on the Scottish shore. About this time, surnames began to be generally used in Scotland, and, soon after his arrival, Maurice received and assumed the name of Drummond. Like the other surnames of Scotland, this is derived, either from the lands originally appropriated to its first chief, or from the office he bore, or from some extraordinary occurrence in his life. If the name is derived from the lands, then it naturally comes from that property, in the parish of Drymen in Dunbartonshire, called Drummond, which formed part of the original grant of lands conferred by king Malcolm on this Hungarian stranger. ^{https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Drummond-512#_note-0">[1]}
