Ragman Rolls refers to the collection of instruments by which the nobility and gentry of Scotland subscribed allegiance to King Edward I of England, during the time between the Conference of Norham in May 1291 and the final award in favour of Balliol in November 1292; and again in 1296. Of the former of these records two copies were preserved in the Chapter House at Westminster Abbey (now in The National Archives (United Kingdom) at Kew), and it has been printed by Rymer (Foedera, ~i. 542). Another copy, preserved originally in the Tower of London, is now also in The National Archives. RAGMAN ROLLS also includes the name of Waultier De Lynne, who is coined as being the progenitor of Linn/Lynn name. This is still in question. The conflict in my family tree is paternal line does not lead back to Waultier De Lynne; however, my maternal line goes back to de Morvilles which is not related to the paternal line.
