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

8th Laird -- Archibald Armstrong - 1548 or 1549 to 1558. 1. Simon Armstrong (9th Laird) 2. Ninian Armstrong 3. Rowe Armstrong

9th Laird -- Simon Armstrong - 1558 to 1583. 1. Archibald Armstrong (10th Laird) 2. Ungle or Hingle Armstrong 3. Simon Armstrong of Runchbach

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

It is well known that during the troubles of Charles I, the Earl of Traquair continued unalterably fixed in his attachment to his unfortunate master, in whose service he hazarded his person and improverished his estate. On one occasion his lordship dispatched Christie's Will to London upon business of the highest importance to his Majesty.But the task was a difficult one, as the Parliamentary leaders used their utmost endeavors to prevent any communication between the King and his Scottish friends. William arrived at London and delivered his papers in safety. In the meantime his enbassy had taken air, and orders were dispatched by the enemy to intercept him. He passed skill from London to Carlisle, a distance of 265 miles, stopping at the latter place to refresh his horse, and then proceeded on his journey. Crossing the bridge over the Eden just outside of Carlisle, he suddenly discovered Parliamentary Soldiers springing up like magic at both ends of the bridge. There was nothing left to do but take to the water, which was in high flood. Facing down stream, he patted his horse's neck, and with a touch of the spur gracefully cleared the parapet. Horse and rider were carried by the swift current to a place called the Stanners, or Stanhouse, where he guided the horse up the wet bank, but they slipped back into the river Quickly cutting the loop that held his long wet cloak, he made for the bank again. With the noble effort the animal brought his master to firm ground. The soldiers, for a time struck with wonder, forgot to fire upon him. Two or three ran down the waterside intending to capture him, but William pointed his wet pistol at them, which the weapon, although useless, caused them to halt. From the Eden he was chased to the Esk, which he swam, gaining the further side, he wheeled around and in true Border style called out to his pursuers to come through and drink with him. They declined, knowing he was in the neighborhood of friends. After this taunt, he proceeded on the journey and faithfully accomplished his mission.
