Sir Thomas Maule

Sir Thomas Maule was the youngest son of Sir Peter Maule and Christina de Valognes, Baron and Baroness of Panmure and Benvie.

[1] He was Captain of Brechin Castle, and led the defence when the English forces, led by Edward I laid siege in July, 1303, during the First War of Independence.

[1][2] The defending forces purportedly held out for 20 days,[3] before Maule was killed on the battlements by a stone hurled from a siege engine, after which the garrison yielded.
