Christopher Seton

This branch of the Seton family had long served the Bruces in Yorkshire, Cumberland and Scotland.

In 1301, at the age of twenty-three, Christopher married Robert de Brus's sister Christian or Christina Bruce.

Seton was present on 10 February 1306 when Sir John Comyn of Badenoch was stabbed by Robert de Brus in Greyfriars Church, Dumfries.

[1] As Sir Robert Comyn rushed to aid his nephew, Seton struck him down with a blow to the head.

Loch Doon Castle, Ayrshire, was besieged by the English and after the surrender of that castle by the Governor Sir Gilbert de Carrick, Christopher was hanged, drawn and quartered at Dumfries in accordance with Edward I's policy of giving no quarter to Scottish prisoners.
