LifeSketch: About Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Morayrea of Scotland occupied by the Northern Picts and that of the Southern Picts, but its rulers were not strictly speaking Earls. It was finally conquered by the Scots proper in 1130 and thereafter held by the Kings of Scotland as a royal possession till 1312. In that year Thomas Randolph, whose mother was sister of Robert I the Bruce, was created Earl of Moray. He led the left wing of the Scottish army at the victory over the English of Bannockburn in 1314, having a few months before retaken Edinburgh Castle from its temporary English captors. The year after Bannockburn he was declared Guardian of the Realm in the event of the crown descending to a minor. He accordingly became Regent on Robert I's death in 1329. [Burke's Peerage]son and heir of Thomas RANDOLPH of Strathdon, sometime Chamberlain of Scotland, by (-----), sister of ROBERT I [SCT], and daughter of Robert (BRUCE or BRUS), afterwards EARL OF CARRICK, was present, as Thomas Randal le fyz, with his father at Baliol's homage to Edward I at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 26 December 1292. He rebelled with Bruce, perhaps even attending him on his secret journey to Scotland in 1306, and was taken prisoner by the English at Methven, 19 June. As Lord of Nithsdale he participated in the letter of the Scottish magnates to Philip IV of France, March 1308/9. He was created EARL OF MORAY [SCT] between 12 April and 29 October 1312. The extensive grants he received are evidence of the esteem in which he was held by, and of the services he rendered to, Robert Bruce. In March 1313/4 be made a sensational capture of Edinburgh Castle from the English, and he was in command of the left wing at the battle of Bannockburn, 24 June 1314. He attended the Parliament [SCT] at Ayr, 26 April 1315, at which, under the Act of Succession, he was named Guardian of the King or his brother should die during the minority of the heir to the throne. In Edward Bruce's invasion of Ireland, 1315-17, he took a notable part both in the actual fighting and in the raising of men; and in 1318 participated in the capture of Berwick by surprise. The following year Moray and Douglas raided the north of Yorkshire, and defeated a force raised by the Archbishop, in what was jocularly called the Chapter of Mitton. Moray's name stands second in the list of Scottish magnates who addressed the Pope in defence of Scottish independence, 6 April 1320. At the time of the ineffectual negotiations between the Scots and the disaffected Earl of Lancaster, 1321-22, Moray was acting as Lieutenant of the King of Scotland, and was at Corbridge, in Northumberland, in January 1321/2; later in the year he carried havoc into Durham and Yorks, and in the autumn fought with the King in the attack on the English near Byland, when Edward II was forced to flee, and was nearly captured in York. In May 1323 Moray was in England with an embassy which concluded a truce at York on 30 May for 13 years. Later in the year at Avignon he obtained from the Pope his long withheld concession to address Bruce as King of Scotland. In April 1325 he was appointed chief of an embassy to France, which, at Corbeil, in April 1326, concluded an alliance against England. In 1327 the short-lived truce was broken; Moray and Douglas harried Northumberland and balked the English forces under the young King Edward III. They were appointed jointly to make the arrangements for the marriage of the infant Prince David of Scotland with Joan, sister of Edward III, which was celebrated 12 July 1328 at Berwick. On the death of Bruce, 7 June 1329, under whom the Earl had been Justiciar of Scotland north of the Forth, Moray became Regent of Scotland, and so continued till his death, 20 July 1332, at Musselburgh, on his way to meet the invasion of the disinherited lords under Edward Baliol.iving 16 July 1351.

Later, fighting for the English, he was captured and brought before the king, who he taunted for his alleged cowardice by engaging in guerrilla warfare instead of standing and fighting in pitched battle.9;s most important lieutenants. The fact that he was allowed to resume his allegiance to Bruce suggests that they did have family ties. His most famous achievement took place in 14 March 1314 when he carried out a daring attack on Edinburgh Castle. This was one of a handful of castles in Scotland still in English hands, and stood on top of an apparently impregnable rock. The son of a former Governor knew about a path up the rock, which he had used to visit the town at night against his father's wishes, and tipped off the Scots. Randolph led his men up this path one night to capture the castle.ned the title of 1st Earl of Moray. He fought in the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. He fought in the Battle of Byland in 1322. He held the office of Regent of Scotland between 1329 and 1332.ndolph was the son of one of Robert the Bruce's sisters. Randolph first appeared on the Scottish scene when he joined his uncle's fight for the Scottish throne in 1306. Unfortunately, he was almost immediately captured at the Battle of Methven. The battle was a disaster for Bruce and rather than allowing the captured to be ransomed (as was normally the case in medieval warfare), Edward I had the captives hanged, drawn and quartered or beheaded without trial. Thomas Randolph was saved because of his friendship with the Earl of Pembroke. He was granted a pardon on condition he fight for the English.or fighting for the English, Randolph reportedly retorted that the Bruce, "made war like a brigand instead of fighting a pitched battle as a gentleman should."(1) Despite the criticism the Bruce put Randolph under Douglas' close supervision.ch 1314. With a small band of men Randolph scaled the north face of the rock while the main body of his troop attacked the south gate. Randolph and his men were able to enter the castle and open the gate to his main force, which then took the castle.

Robert the Bruce immediately ordered that Edinburgh castle be dismantled "lest the English ever afterwards might lord it over the land by holding the castles". Three months later, on 24 June 1344 near Stirling, the Scottish army crushed the English at the Battle of Bannockburn. 2 - In 1313 Bruce entrusted the re-capture of Edinburgh Castle to his nephew, the Earl of Moray. Moray was fortunate enough to have amoung his soldiers one William Frank, who in the days before the English occupation, when he was stationed in the Castle, had discovered a secret way by which he could leave it, visit a girl friend in the city, and return. Under Frank's guidance Moray, with only thirty men, scaled the rock and the walls at midnight, overpowered the garrison and took the fortress. By Bruces command all the buildings were distroyed except St. Margarets chapel, and the Castle remained a ruin for twenty-three years. 3 - Signitory to the Declaration of Arbroath 1320 From his seal of 1296, when he swore fealty to Edward I, he bore three lozenges or cushion lozenge-wise.
