First sentence: THAT Bertrand de Gourdon, by whose arrow King Richard I. was killed before the Castle of Chalus in Perigord, left children who settled in Scotland and became the progenitors of the House of Gordon, is a proposition which I should hesitate to affirm; but it is one which, in the presence of other members of that House, I should equally hesitate to deny.
