There is a difference between being a Laird, leader of a clan and a Lord. It is NOT the same thing. A Laird can be a Lord but being a Laird is not being a Lord.

In the following table we have named the Ten Lairds of Mangerton -- the Laird being the head man or leader of the family or clan, who lived in the castle called Mangerton, situated in Liddesdale on the Liddal River in Scotland.

1st Laird -- Siward Beorn (1020 to 1055) - A Dane by birth or descent.

2nd Laird -- Alexander Armstrong - Known as the Young Laird of Mangerton.

3rd Laird-- Name not known (probably Alexander)

4th Laird-- Archibald Armstrong

5th Laird-- Thomas Armstrong - 15th century. 1. Alexander Armstrong (6th Laird) 2. John Armstrong of Whithaugh 3. Will Armstrong of Chingils 4. George Armstrong of Ailmure

6th Laird-- Alexander Armstrong 1460 1. Thomas Armstrong (7th Laird) 2. John Armstrong of Gilnockie 3. Christopher Armstrong of Langholm 4. George Armstrong 5. Alexander or Andro Armstrong 6. Robet Armstrong 7. William Armstrong

7th Laird -- Thomas Armstrong - Died 1548 or 1549. 1. Archibald Armstrong (8th Laird) 2. John Armstrong of Tinnisburn 3. Richard Armstrong of Dryup 4. Thomas Armstrong 5. Simon Armstrong Tinnisburn

10th Laird -- Archibald Armstrong - 1583 to 1610. Archibald Armstrong, the tenth and last Laird of Mangerton, remained as the Laird until 1610, when he and twenty-four of his followers were charged with plundering an enemys property. They were ordered to appear before the Council but failed to do so. Shortly thereafter, Archibald was expelled from his lairdship.

Notes: Armstrong Clan: Ted Armstrong, 'Thyme', 7 Riverside,CANONBIE, Dumfresshire, SCOTLAND

Notes: Tradition says that anyone who bears the name of Armstrong is descended from the original Scotsman John, who on seeing his King unhorsed hurried to place him on his saddle. The king unsheathed his sword and said, "I dub you Armstrong."

Notes: Alexander's official title was: Alexander 6th Laird of Mangerton Castle.

Notes: Ive seen an interest again regarding the history of Johnnie Armstrongof Gilnockie. The only stories I can tell are ones that will be retold,and my references are few, but most of the credit should go to George MacDonald Fraser, author of The Steel Bonnets. When Joe returns to Gateshead hemay have some corrections to post to this!

Notes: Someone posted a notion that Johnnie may be considered as king of the Armstrongs. I do not intend in the least to admonish that thought, but such case is hardly true. Son of a chief of the clan, yes that is a fact. Alexander Armstrong, 6th Laird of Mangerton Christ was laid in I believe> was the father of our Johnnie of Gilnockie. Johnnie had one older brother however that would be Thomas. There is some argument regarding the correctness of history pertaining to the succession of the Lairdship of Mangerton. I know you have a question right now,and I'll answer it as best I can. There is no connecting succession currently. The last chief of the clan, by my references, faded into Cumbria in the early 17th century, and since then there has been no clan chief. 1 2
