1. INGELRAN de Balliol . Alexander II King of Scotland confirmed donations to St Andrew’s priory, including the donation of "ecclesiam de Dul" by "Malcolmi comitis de Hathoil et ex confirmacione Henrici filii sui", by undated charter, probably dated to the start of his reign, witnessed by "…Engeram de Bayllol…"[868]. The parentage of this Ingelran de Balliol has not yet been ascertained.

It is chronologically impossible that he was Ingelran, son of Bernard de Balliol, given the estimated marriage date of his daughter Ellen. It is also unlikely that he was Ingelran, son of Jocelyn de Balliol, who belonged to the generation earlier than Ingelran son of Bernard.

From a chronological point of view, it is possible that he was the same person as the son of Eustace de Baliol Eustace Balliol (EUSTACE de Balliol, son of BERNARD de Balliol & his wife Agnes de Pincheny) who is named above. (INGELRAN de Balliol . The Liber Vitæ of Durham lists (in order) "Eustakius de Baillol, Hugo, Ingelramus, Bernardus, Henricus filii eius"[858].)

m ---. The name of Ingelran’s wife is not known.

Ingelran & his wife had [three] children:

a) [HENRY de Balliol (-after 12 Feb 1246). According to the Complete Peerage, Henry was son of Ingelran and brother of Ellen [869]. It has not been possible to check the sources cited. According to Burke’s Extinct Peerage, he was the son of Eustace de Balliol[870], although this source is usually less reliable. … m (before 1233) LORETA de Valoignes, daughter of WILLIAM de Valoignes Chamberlain of Scotland & his wife Loreta de Quincy (-after 25 May 1233). Henry & his wife had three children: …

b) EUSTACE Balliol (-after Sep 1262). … m AGNES de Percy, daughter of WILLIAM de Percy & his first wife Joan de Briwere (-after 1276). King Edward I confirmed the grant by "Agnes de Balliol to her son Ingeram de Balliol of her land at Foxton" for five years from 11 Jun 1275, by charter dated 5 May 1276[889]. Eustace & his wife had one child:

c) ELLEN Balliol (-shortly before 22 Nov 1281). She is recorded as the daughter of Ingelran de Balliol[891]. Heiress of Dalton (Percy) co. Durham. m ([1233/35]%29 as his second wife, WILLIAM de Percy, son of HENRY de Percy & his wife Isabel de Brus ([1196/98]-shortly before 28 Jul 1245, probably bur Salley Abbey, his heart bur at Sandown Hospital with his first wife).

Enguerrand Balliol (figure 5) was an influential figure in thirteenth-century Galloway and was well connected within the lordship and within Scotland and northern England generally (Stell 1985: Table 5 and p. 154). He was the younger brother of Hugh I Balliol, lord of Barnard Castle in Co Durham, and elder brother of Henry Balliol of Cavers in Roxburghshire, who would become chamberlain of King Alexander II in the 1220s (Stringer 1993, 112). In addition to Urr and Inverkeilor, Enguerrand held the lordship of Dalton in Hartness and the lands of Bolam, both in Co Durham, and apparently also the lordship of Tours-en-Vimeu in Picardy, which formed part of the Balliol family’s heritage in northern France. Despite this wide spread of lands and interests he seems to have developed a close relationship with Galloway and with its lord, Alan son of Roland (Figure 2), present with Alan on ten occasions and witnessing four of Alan’s charters (Stringer 1993, 99 and nos 3, 4, 5, 7; Stringer 2000a, nos 53, 58, 59, 61). He was probably connected with Alan in his role in the Scottish embassy sent to negotiate with King John in July 1215 and served in Alan’s following during the Scottish occupation of Cumberland and Westmorland during the war of 1216-17, occurring first in the list of witnesses to a grant of property in Westmorland made by Alan (Stringer 1993, 89; Stringer 2000a, no.53), but is otherwise notable as an important adherent of King Alexander II and witness to 26 surviving royal charters in the period down to 1236. The fact that he was sheriff of Berwick by c.1226 indicates that despite his prominence in Galloway landholding his career was being forged largely in royal service and administration elsewhere in Scotland (PKA, MS100/1/30). Nevertheless, there are a number of charters granted or confirmed by him which, along with his association with Alan of Galloway, indicate that he was at least on occasion resident in Galloway and took an active role in the administration of his inherited interests there.
