Lord of Liddesdale
The Lord of Liddesdale was a magnate in medieval Scotland; the territorial lordship of Liddesdale was first created by David I of Scotland, perhaps between 1113 and 1124 when the latter was Prince of the Cumbrians. He gave it over to Ranulf de Sules, a knight from the Cotentin Peninsula. It was forfeited by the Soulis (de Sules) family in the 14th century and eventually passed to the Douglases.
