ASKALOK: Apparently for Ap Scoloc, 'son of the scholar.' For origin see under Scoloc. Willelma, widow of Gilbert Askalok of Galloway had a protection in 1291, sine termino (Bain, II, p. 131). Roland Askeloche and Hector, his son, were jurors on an inquisition made at Berwick, 1296 (ibid., p. 215). The seal of the former bears an open right hand in pale, and S' Rolandi de Ascote (ibid., p. 551; Seals Supp., 51). From the reference in Bain's index he would seem to be the same person as Roland MacGachen of the county of Wiggetone who is also recorded as rendering homage in 1296 (ibid., p. 198). Hector Askeloc also rendered homage in the same year (ibid., p. 202). His seal bears a shield with two lions passant in pale, and Sigillv Hectoris Ascoloc (ibid., p. 549; Macdonald, 50). Roland Ascolog or Magachen granted a charter of lands in the parish of Borgue to Duncan Cambel, c. 1300 (Sc. Peer., I, p. 321). In 1302 Hector was pardoned at the instance of Robert de Bruis, earl of Carrie, for causing the death of Cuthbert of Galloway and for other offences (Bain, II, 1291). Another of the name, Fergus Askolo, also of Wigtownshire, rendered homage in 1296 (ibid., p. 205).
