Working life

On 29 October 1519 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as rector and vicarius chori Glasgow at University of Glasgow in Glasgow.⁶
In 1520 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as Great Chamberlain of Scotland.⁷
After 1 November 1524 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as Lord Chamberlain of Scotland.^2,8,3
In March 1525 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as was named as one of the lords chosen to remain with the King's Grace from Candlemas to Beltane (Act Pari, II., 294, 295.⁸
He served in the military as accompanied the king's party in an expedition to the border to settle disturbances and punish theives on 24 July 1526 in Borders.³
He served in the military as was present at the Battle of Melrose, a deadly skirmish between forces led by the earl of Angus and the lord of Baccleuch on 25 July 1526 in Jedburgh. Meanwhile the diforders of the Armftrongs, and other marauders on the frontiers, continuing, Angus refolved to condudt the king in perfon to reprefs them. James, having advanced to Jedburgh, remained there three days without much effeft: and, on the fourth, day, was returning by Melrofc, when on a fudden^ Walter Scot of Buccleugh appeared with a thoufand armed followers. This powerful border chief»tain was a retainer of Lennox, a circuitiftance which unites with fuceceding events, to vihdicate the opinion entertained by our hiftorians, that BuccleUgh intended to refcue the king from the inferior force of Angus. A meffenger paffed to Scot' to enqdire the reafon of his appearance with fuch a compahy. The anfwer was, that he only defigned to fliew his bands to the king, as not uiiufual among the border chieftains, when that part of his dominions was graced with the royal prefence. He was then Commahded, in the name of the monarch, to difmifs his followers : but he replied that he was better informed of the king’s intentions. Angus, perceiving a conflid unavoidable, ordered his followers, (many of whom were gentlemen, who, by their armour and courage, fupplied the inferiority of number,) to alight, as uliial with the Scots, who rarely fought on horfeback, excepting the trained cavalry, whofe weapons were peculiar, and whofe fteeds were enured to the noife and tumult of battle. Lennox, Maxwell, and Sir George Douglas formed a guard around James, who retired to an eminence. Angus, Fleming, Home, Ker of Cefsford, led on their bands againft thofe of Buccleugh, now alfo alighted from their fteeds. The conflict was brief : Buccleugh’s borderers, after throwing their Ipears, fled in confufion, and about eighty of them were flain : their chief, after a ftrenuous conteft, were forced to retire, but not without the flaughter of many of his enemies. The death of Ker of Cef ford, a man of worth, wa^ regreted by both parties

Hunter -
After this had been effected the royal party set out on their march homewards, and had reached the bridge of Melrose on the 29 th, when the Laird of Buccleuch presented himself at the head of a thousand horsemen. The King, it appears, had come to be of opinion that he was kept too much in bondage by the persons by whom he was daily surrounded, and had sent a secret message to Buccleuch to raise his clan, and come to his rescue. The Earl of Angus, who commanded the King's troops, demanded to know what Buccleuch's design was in coming with so great a force. Buccleuch replied that he had come to do the King honour and service, and to show him his retainers and friends. Angus at once ordered him to depart on the pain of treason, and on his refusal, a combat ensued ; but Buccleuch in the end was routed, and eighty of his men slain.^9,10,3
He served in the military as probably fought for Arran's forces at the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge on 4 September 1526 in Linlithgow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stewart,_3rd_Earl_of_Lennox
John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox (c. 1490 – 4 September 1526) was a prominent Scottish nobleman. He was the son of Matthew Stewart, 2nd Earl of Lennox, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, 1st Lord Hamilton, and Mary Stewart, Princess of Scotland, daughter of King James II of Scotland.
The Earl of Lennox led an army to Linlithgow with the intention of liberating the young King James V of Scotland from the pro-English Douglases. He was defeated by a smaller force led by James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Arran, at the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge. He survived the battle and was taken captive, only to be murdered subsequently by James Hamilton of Finnart.
Fleming and others were forgiven of this slaughter in a concord signed on 29 April 1531.¹¹
He served in the military as was given leave by the lords in council to return home and restore order in the surrounding district by taking action against theives and traitors on 14 November 1528.¹²

On 1 December 1531 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as had a charter from King James V as Sheriff of Tweedale and Peebles.^1,19
In 1532 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as sheriff-principal in Tweedale and Peebles. Lanarkshire - In 1532, Lord Fleming had letters constituting him and his heirs sherifis-principal of Twedale and Peebles (Pitcaim, 1, 246)^20,21

On 11 March 1540 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as Grand Chamberlain in Edinburgh.²⁷
On 19 November 1541 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as Great Chamberlain in Scotland. A long-discussed M between James V and Henry VIII was scheduled for York in Sep 1541 but Pope Paul III and Scottish Cardinal Beaton advised against it because they were concerned that the king would be influenced into Reformation thinking. He had already recovered money from the church by getting Pope Clement VII to allow him to tax monastic incomes.
So, James did not come. The lack of commitment to this meeting was regarded by English observers as a sign that Scotland was firmly allied to France and Catholicism, particularly by the influence of Cardinal Beaton, Keeper of the Privy Seal, and as a cause for war.[32]
In 1540, Irish nobles and chiefs had offered James the kingship of Ireland, as a further challenge to Henry VIII^28,29
He served in the military as was made prisoner by the English at the rout of Solway in November 1542 in November 1542 in Solway Moss. The Scotish lords perceiuing the Englishmen gathered, assembled themselues togither, and inquired who was lieutenant generall there by the kings appointment ; and incontinentlie Oliuer Sinclcr was holden vp on two mens shoulders, where he sheweth foorth the kings commission, instituting him lieutenant to the king of that armie. But howsoeuer that was read, the earles and lords there present, thought themselues imbased too much, to haue such a meane gentleman aduanced in authoritie aboue them all, and therefore determined not to fight vnder such a capteine, but willinglie suffered themselues to be ouercome, and so were taken by the Englishmen, not shewing anie countenance of defense to the contrarie, and without slaughter of anie one person on either side.
This rode was called Solowaie Mosse, at the which were taken prisoners men of name, these persons following : the earle of Cassiles and Glencarne, the lord Maxwell, the lord Fleming, the lord Someruile, the lord Oliphant, Oliuer Sincler, the lord of Craggie, and sundrie other gentlemen, the which were led prisoners to London, where they remained till after the king was dead (later in the same year).
Holinshed says that Lord Fleming was hosted (as prisoner) by the Lord Privy Seal. In November 1542 the holder of that office was John Russell 1st Earl of Bedford, whose London residence, Bedford House included Covent Garden.
Wiki - An order for the muster of Scottish forces at the Kirk of Morton (near Bogrie, in Scotland) before dawn on 22 November survives. Men from Dumfries, Peebles, Selkirk, and Hawick were summoned. The note mentions their routes; from Dumfries to Hoddom and Kirkconnel tower in Ecclefechan; from Peebles to Moffat; from Selkirk to Eskdalemuir.[
The chief Scottish prisoners were taken to Newcastle upon Tyne, and were listed with their English keepers at that time in a schedule prepared by Sir Thomas Wharton;[19] below the keepers of their substitute 'pledges' or hostages are added from a list compiled later in 1543 amongst the papers of the Earl of Shrewsbury.[20]
• Malcolm, Lord Fleming; keeper Sir William Musgrave. Deceased when the Talbot-Shrewsbury papers list was compiled.
• In March 1544, as the War of Rough Wooing or Nine Years' War commenced in earnest, Henry VIII sent the Richmond Herald, Gilbert Dethick, to the Privy Council of Scotland at Stirling Castle to demand the return to England of a number of those high-ranking prisoners who had been allowed to go home on licence. These were: the Earls of Cassilis and Glencairn, Lords Somerville, Maxwell, Gray, Oliphant, and Fleming, with Oliver Sinclair, George Hume of Ayton, Robert Master of Erskine, William Seton, Patrick Hepburn, James Pringle, James Sinclair, Alexander Sinclair, John Maitland of Awencastle, Henry Maxwell brother of lord Maxwell, John Ross of Craigie, the laird of Moncrieff, John Leslie younger son of the earl of Rothes, and John Carmichael. If the council did not organise their return, Henry threatened revenge on their pledges in England, and penalties on future captives.
James, who was not present at the battle (he had remained at Lochmaben), withdrew to Falkland Palace, humiliated and ill with fever. The news that his wife had given birth to a daughter instead of a son further crushed his will to live, and he is reported to have stated that the House of Stewart "came with a lass and will go with a lass". He died at Falkland two weeks later at the age of thirty. According to George Douglas, in his delirium he lamented the capture of his banner and Oliver Sinclair at Solway Moss more than his other losses.
Pinkerton - To allay the anguifli of his mind, the council, confifting chiefly of clergy, propofed to levy a fmall army of about ten thoufaiid, to. retaliate, by an invafioii on the weftern marches, the injuries and difgrace inflidled by the arms of Norfolk ^ Maxwell was appointed to the command, a leader indeed firmly attached to the king ; but, with their ufual infatuation, the minifters of James joined with him Caflils, Glencairn, and other chiefs of the fouth and weft, who favoured the Englifli intereft and the reformation, whereas thofe of the oppolitc party, however diftant, ought to have been feleded. The army advanced towards Solway firth, pafted into Knglilh ground, and approached the river Elk, when Oliver Sinclair, the king’s favourite, was elevated on ftiields, to read the royal commiflTion, appointing the general and direfllng his procedure. A murmur arofe among the difaffefled that this minion wa^s nominated commander in chief : and the array, like a troubled fea', W'as inftantly agitated by uproar, tumult, ajul dilbrder. Thomas Dacre and John Mufgravc, two Englilh leaders, had advanced at the head of three or four hundred men to obferve the motions of the enemy ; . and perceiving their diflentient fluduatiou, and an incapability of defence arifing even to panic, immediately charged their fcattcrcd battalions. A fpeedy flight completed the inglorious difaftcr. Among^a thoufand

The death of James's mother in 1541 removed any incentive for peace with England, and war broke out. Initially, the Scots won a victory at the Battle of Haddon Rig in August 1542. The Imperial ambassador in London, Eustace Chapuys, wrote on 2 October that the Scottish ambassadors ruled out a conciliatory meeting between James and Henry VIII in England until the pregnant Mary of Guise delivered her child. Henry would not accept this condition and mobilised his army against Scotland.[78] James was with his army at Lauder on 31 October 1542. Although he hoped to invade England, his nobles were reluctant. [ACCORDING TO HUNTER P511, THIS STRENGTHENED THE INFLUENCE OF THE ROMISH PRIESTS][79] He returned to Edinburgh, on the way writing a letter in French to his wife from Falahill mentioning he had three days of illness.[80] On 24 November his army suffered a serious defeat at the Battle of Solway Moss. prifoaers, taken by the Englilh, were Glencairn, Caflils, Maxwell, Sor merdlle. Gray, Oliphant, Fleming, with other chieftains of inferior note, who preferred a captivity in England to the chance of their fovereign’s indignation

hUNTER
The conduct of these barons threw the King still more thoroughly into the arms of the Romish priests and their bigoted adherents, who, elated with the confidence reposed in them, strove to gratify the wishes of the King by contributions of men and money. In a short time James saw himself at the head of 10,000 men, whom he dispatched, in November 1542, with all haste to the border, but they had scarcely disentangled themselves from the dangerous sands and bogs of the Solway, when they were filled with surprise and indignation by a proclamation, that Oliver Sinclair, the King's gentleman-in-waiting, had been appointed to the chief command. They instantly raised a shout that they would not follow such a leader ; and a scene of complete insubordination and disorder consequently ensued. The English wardens, Dacre and Musgrove, with 400 horsemen, happened at this juncture to advance for the purpose of reconnoitring, and, observing the confusion of the Scots, instantly assailed them with levelled lances, and drove them in irretrievable rout from the field. A number of them were slain, and many of them taken prisoners, among the latter of whom were the Earl of Cassillis and Glencairn, and Lords Fleming, Sommerville, Maxwell, Gray, and Oliphant.^{1,30,31,32,33,34,29}
On 27 April 1543 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as lost his claim as Sheriff of Peebleshire to John Lord Hay of Yester because the lords in council considered the king's favour to Fleming to be unfair to Yester's heritage.³⁵
On 11 December 1543 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as was appointed as one of 8 lords and 8 spiritual lords on a great council to accompany and advise the regent in Edinburgh. The step which he thus took was so far justified by the decision of the Scottish Parliament, which, on the 11th December 1543, by a solemn act, declared that all negotiations regarding the proposed matrimonial union were at an end. The consequence of this decision was, that war broke out between the two kingdoms with renewed vigour.^36,37
On 14 December 1543 Sir Malcolm ("the Brave") Fleming, 3rd Lord Fleming, was occupied as Chamberlain.³⁸
He served in the military as fought at Coldingham as part of the Scottish Army that had assembled at Dunbar and brought artillery to use against the English on 29 November 1544 in Coldingham. Henry, greatly incensed at the conduct of the Scots, resolved to chastise them with the utmost severity, and therefore sent invading armies into Scotland that committed every species of havoc, burning towns, villages, and religious houses, and slaughtering and plundering the people. In some of the battles which were at that time fought Lord Fleming took part. He obeyed, for instance, the proclamation which was issued for the lieges of the Queen to assemble at Dunbar on the 29th November 1544, and march to the border. Seven thousand men having mustered, they received several pieces of artillery and other weapons, taken out of the Castle of Dunbar, and then proceeded to Coldingham, which at the time was in possession of the English. They opened their batteries on the town ; but their operations were feebly and unsuccessfully conducted. The English made a sortie, broke their ranks, and chased them for miles back into the country.³⁷

Ita est Thomas Johnstoun notarius publicus attestor Teste manu propria.^1,101,43,102 He died killed in the Battle of Pinkie on 10 September 1547 at age 53 in Pinkie. There were slalne no small number of personages of good account. Among other, the lord Fleming, the malster of Erskin, the maister of Graham, the malster Men of name of Meffine, the malster of Ogilule, the malster of Leuingsron, the malster of Rosse [the maister of Argendale and MeffaneJ the lard of Lochlnwar, the lard of Glencarnocke, & others. - Holinshed
Lanarkshire - Along with two of his sons-in-law, the Masters of livingstone and Montrose, he fell in the disastrous Intde d i Pinkie, 10th September, 1547> and was succeeded by his eldest son,

Hunter -
Malcolm Lord Fleming mustered his vassals, and marched to the Scottish camp near Musselburgh. Several of his near relatives had also taken the field with their followers, particularly his two sons-in-law, the Master of Livingstone and the Master of Montrose, both of them destined to meet with the same disastrous fate as himself. The position of the Scots, on the left bank of the Esk, was well chosen ; and on Somerset reconnoitering it, he saw that he could not attack it with advantage, and therefore gave orders to withdraw his troops to some distance. This movement made the Scots imagine that the English were retreating to their ships lying in the bay. In opposition to the opinion and remonstrances of the most experienced leaders, the Scots crossed the Esk, and thus gave their opponents the advantage of the rising ground on which they were drawn up. The Scots in some skirmishing that took place repelled their opponents, but in executing a manoeuvre to effect a change of position, the Highlanders, who had left their ranks for the sake of plunder, supposed that their friends had commenced a retreat, and immediately betook themselves to their heels. A panic was, consequently, infused into the whole Scottish army, and in an instant the country round was covered with fugitives. The English cavalry having rallied, hastened . after their foes, and cut them down without mercy. No fewer than 14,000 men were slain in the pursuit, and among others Lord Fleming, and many of his retainers from Biggar and Cumbernauld. This battle was fought on the 10th of September 1547.

Lord Fleming, at his death, was in the fifty-third year of his age, and his body was, no doubt, conveyed to Biggar, and, according to his own directions, interred in the church which he had founded and partly built. He left two sons and five daughters by his wife Janet Stewart, and also several illegitimate children^{1,2,103,104,105,39,106,107,15} He had his estate probated after 10 September 1547. He left 2-/0/0 to the poor householders of Lenzie and Biggar who were behind in their rent.¹⁰⁸
