Thweng's arms: on an argent field, a fess of gules between three popinjays (parrots).[1][2] These arms are now borne by his descendant the Earl of Scarbrough
In 1297 Marmaduke achieved some fame at the Battle of Stirling Bridge by an heroic escape. Over 100 English knights had been trapped, together with several thousand infantry, on the far side of the river, and were being slaughtered by the Scots. Thweng managed to fight his way back across the bridge and he thus became the only knight of all those on the far side of the river to survive the battle. Following the rout, Thweng with William FitzWarin were appointed castellans of Stirling Castle by the English leader John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. The castle was quickly starved into submission, and Thweng and FitzWarin were taken prisoner to Dumbarton Castle. He was summoned to Parliament in 1307, thus becoming Baron Thweng.[5]
At the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, however, after the English defeat, Sir Marmaduke apparently made no attempt to escape. Instead he wandered over the battlefield until he located Robert the Bruce; only then was he prepared to surrender, and only to the victorious King. Robert recognised Sir Marmaduke and released him and Ralph de Monthermer, also captured, both without ransom, but not without first entertaining them at table.[6]
Marriage and issueedit
Thweng married Isabel de Ros, daughter of William de Ros of Ingmanthorpe, and had several children, including:
His three sons each succeeded to the barony in turn; the first son married, but died childless, while the second and third sons were clergymen and died unmarried. With the death of the last son, the barony fell into abeyance among the heirs of his daughters.[7]
