Talk:Peregrine Moncreiffe of that Ilk

Chief of clan
Why is Peregrine Moncreiffe of that Ilk chief of the clan, and not his older brother?Royalcourtier (talk) 03:17, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

His brother Merlin inherited the earldom of Erroll from their mother, and changed his surname to Hay after hers. The chief of a clan must bear its surname, so Peregrine Moncreiffe inherited the chiefdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.228.74.234 (talk) 06:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
