The Barony of Blackhall is a Scottish feudal barony which originally covered the area of Renfrewshire and a part of Ayrshire. ==History== About 1140, a Norman knight, Walter Fitzalan, designated First High Steward of the royal household and Baron Renfrew by King David I, received the lands of Kerkert and Strathgryffe, later to be called Renfrewshire. These lands included the Forest of Paisley, to the south-west of the city, and an estate called "Nigra Aula," or Blackhall, where Walter built his House of Blackhall. Walter Fitzalan founded (Paisley Abbey ) in 1163. The House and Barony of Blackhall are mentioned in numerous early charters: * 1272 charter, witnessed by the chaplain of Blackhall Chapel; * 1283 charter granted by James, Fifth High Steward, which describes certain lands belonging to the Park of Blackhall. On 12 December 1395 at Dundonald, Robert III, grandson of Walter, conferred on his "natural" son, Sir John, all the lands of Blackhall in the Barony of Renfrew in the Vicecounty of Lanark. The Lands and Barony of Blackhall continued to be mentioned in charters issued by the Stewart kings confirming them to Sir John’s heirs and successors, among them are:- * King James IV in 1508 to John, 5th of Blackhall; * King James V in 1539, granting a charter of confirmation to James, 6th of Blackhall, erecting in 'liberam baroniam' the lands of Blackhall, as well as those of Ardgowan, Auchengowan, and Finnock; * King James VI/I in a 1579 charter of confirmation to James, 8th of Blackhall, including the lands and "place" of Blackhall; * King Charles II in 1667 to Archibald, 14th of Blackhall, who became the first Baronet (Nova Scotia.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barony of Blackhall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
