Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Count Patrick (15th of Balquhain) Leslie

    Notes:

    The title 'Count' refers to a German title

    Patrick Leslie, fifteenth Baron of Balquhain, who also succeeded to the German estates on the death of his elder brother. He made an entail by which the Scotch and German estates should be distinct and separate,? the German to descend.to the eldest son and the Scotch to the second son ; and further, that in case of failure of male issue, the estates should descend to the male issue of his daughters. He married first Eliza Douglas, by whom he had, I. James Ernest, who succeeded his uncle, Count James, as third Count Leslie in Germany. He married, 20th June, 1669, the Princess Berne de Lichtenstein, and died in 1738

    (Research):Bartholomew, the founder of the family, was a noble Hungarian, who came to Scotland with Queen Margarite, 1067.
    He was much esteemed by King Malcolm Ceanmore, who conferred upon him grants of lands in various parts of Scotland, but particularly in the district of the Garioch, in the County of Aberdeen, where the ruins of the old castle of Leslie still remain in the parish of Leslie. It would appear that he married a sister of King- Malcolm. We find in the " Genealogical Tree of the Royal Family of Scotland," published in 1792, and approved by the Lyon office, that Princess Beatrix, daughter of King Duncan, and sister to Malcolm Ceanmore, married Bartholomew Leslie, (of whom all the Leslies in Scotland are descended), by whom he had a son Malcolm, who succeeded him. Bartholomew was chamberlain to Queen Margarite. There being no carriages in those days, Her Majesty used to ride on a pillion behind him. On one occasion while crossing a river, the Queen nearly falling off, Bartholomew cried out, " Grip fast." The Queen replied, " Gin the buckle bide ?" there being only one buckle to the belt by which she held on. After this his exclamation was given as the family motto, and two more buckles were added to the belt. Bartholomew died at an advanced age about 1121.
    Malcolm succeeded his father Bartholomew, as authenticated by a charter now extant. David Earl of Huntingdon and Lord of the Garioch, the brother of King William the Lion, granted a charter to Malcolm the son of Bartolf of the lands of Leslyn and others, which was confirmed by King William about 1165.

Leslie, in 1849.
