His name appears in a charter of Alexander, Earl of Buchan, dated 1236. His son Alexander, a ma n of high valour, lost his life when defending the Urquhart Castle against Edward I, who, with his usual barbarity, put the entire garrison to the sword in 1303; but he left a son, also Alexander, who fell at the battle of Dupplin in 1332.&lt;sup&g t;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The posthumous son of the latter, Sir John Forbes of that Ilk, was a man of eminence in the days of Robert II and Robert III. H e had four sons by Elizabeth Kennedy of Dunure, and from the three younger, sprang the Forbesses of Pitsligo, Culloden, Waterton, and Foveran. By Robert III. he was made Justiciary of Aberdeenshire, and died in 1406.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; &lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_Forbes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=3" title="Edit section: 1 5th century"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;15th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;His eldest son, Sir Alexander of that Ilk, joined the constable Buchan in France at the head of 100 Horse and 40 Pikeman; and, after serv ing with honour in the war against Henry V, was raised to the Peerage by James I as Baron Forbes about 1442. In 1426 he obtained bond of Manrent from Ugston of that Ilk, to attend him with three armed horsemen against all mortals, the King excepted . He married Elizabeth, daughter of the Earl of Angus by the Princess Margaret, daughter of Robert III, and died in 1448, leaving two sons, James the Master of Forbes, and John, who became Provost of St. Giles at Edinburgh.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size= "2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James, second Lord Forbes, married a sister of the first Earl Marischal, and had three sons: William, the third Lord, Duncan, ancestor of the Fo rbesses of Corsindse and Monymusk, and Patrick, ancestor of the Forbesses, Baronets of Craigievar, now Lord Sempill, and also of the Earls of Granard.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alexander, fourth Lord Forbes, was in arms with his clan to revenge the murder of James III, but after the defeat at &lt;font color="#ba0000"&gt;Tillymoss&lt;/font&gt; he submitted to James IV. John, the sixth Lord, s tood high in the favour of James V, from whom he got many charters.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipe dia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_Forbes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=4" title="Edit section: 16th century"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;16th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1529, Clan Forbes was involved i n a feud with the citizens of Aberdeen, who withheld a sort of blackmail, a yearly tun of wine for the fishings of the Don. In July 1530 Arthur Forbes of Brux and his accomplacies attacked Aberdeen. The citizens took arms and drove the invaders t o Greyfriars Place. The street fights lasted twenty-four hours. One of clan Forbes and some of the citizens were killed, a good many on both sides were wounded. Several of the inhabitants of Aberdeen, and commissioners were sent to the king to lodg e a complaint. On the 19th December the following year, the magistrates served letters of law-burrows against Pitsligo, Tolquhain, Corsindae, Brux, Echt, and other gentlemen of the name of Forbes and Lord Pitsligo was obliged to find caution to th e council at Perth for his own and friends good behaviour towards the town of Aberdeen. At that time a deadly feud subsisted between Clan Forbes and Clan Leslie; and it is probable that some of the Aberdeen town&amp;#39;s people had interfered in t hat quarrel, which furiously raged throughout Aberdeenshire, and was attended by mutual massacres and murders.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2" &gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;3&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;4&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1571 the Clan Forbes fought agains t the Clan Gordon at the Battle of Tillieangus and also the Battle of Craibstone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_Forbes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=5" title="Edit section : 17th century"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;17th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alexander, the tenth Lord Forbes, was a General under Gustavus Adolphus, and Colonel of Scottish Infantry in 1648.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;fon t size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_Forbes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=6" title="E dit section: 18th century"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;18th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the Jacobite Risings the Clan Forbes and their chief supported the British government.

Alexander, fourth Lord, was attainted after the battle of Culloden, and living long secretly in one of his own gate lodges, died in 1762. Three families now claim the title.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;s pan&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Forbesses, Baronets of Craigievar, a branch of the old House, Craigievar Castle, sprang from Patrick Forbes of Corse, armour-bearer to James III; and th e Stuart-Forbesses of Pitsligo, Baronets, from Duncan of Corsindw, second son of James, second Lord Forbes. The &lt;font color="#ba0000"&gt;Edinglassie&lt;/font&gt; Forbesses are also a branch of the parent stock.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt ;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Forbesses of &lt;font color="#ba0000"&gt;Tolquhoun&lt;/font&gt;, a very old branch, acquired that estate in 1420, and were progenitors of the Lairds o f Culloden. Sir Alexander Forbes of Tolquhoun commanded a troop of cavalry in the Scots army at Worcester; and when the King&amp;#39;s horse was shot, mounted him on his own, put his buff coat and a bloody scarf about him, and saw him safe out of t he field. The fortunes of this house were probably consumed in the fever of the Darien Scheme (like many other good old Scottish families), in which Alexander Forbes of Tolquhoun appears to have embarked beyond his means, the stock he held (500) ha ving been judicially attached.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir William Forbes, eighth Baronet of Craigievor, in 1884 succeeded his kinswoman as Lor d Sempill, Chief of Clan Sempill.&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_For bes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=8" title="Edit section: Clan chief"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Clan chief&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Clan Chief: Nigel Forbes, 22nd Lord Forbes and Chief of the Nam e and Arms of Forbes, KBE JP DL &lt;sup&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;5&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en. wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clan_Forbes&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=9" title="Edit section: References"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;References&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="list-style-type: decimal"&gt;& lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;^ &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;b&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Clans &am p;amp; Tartans; HarperCollins, Glasgow, 2000; by Way of Plean, George, Squire, Romilly; isbn=0-00-472501 8&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;^ &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt ;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;b&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;c&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;f ont size="2"&gt;d&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;e&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;f&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;g&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;h&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt; /sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;i&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;j&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;k&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;l&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2 "&gt;m&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;n&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The Scottish clans and their tartans: with notes; Publisher: W. &amp;amp; A.K.
