Robert Fleming, 1st Lord Fleming (Jan 1416 - 26 Mar 1491) was the only surviving son of Malcolm Fleming and Elizabeth Stewart. After his father's execution, he undertook the task of clearing his name.
On 4 January 1441, Robert entered a protest against the illegal and unwarrantable sentence of execution and forfeiture passed on his father. The protest was entered at the Cross of Linlithgow, but the Sheriff refused to receive it. He then appealed to Sir James Douglas, Justiciar of Scotland south of the Forth and the most powerful magnate in Scotland. Robert's appeal was successful. On 1 January 1442, King James II, on attaining his majority and having been convinced of the injustice of the sentence, issued precepts for serving Sir Robert as heir of his father, who was found by the inquest to have died at the faith and peace of his sovereign, and accordingly he was served in his lands on 30 January 1444.
Around 1450 James II started the Parliamentary reformation and created the division in the Baronial status between "minor" Barons and "Peers." The Lords then sat in Parliament while the "minor" Barons were no longer required to attend, thus relieving them from the costs to attend that many could not afford. Lord Fleming was among the Peers raised.
In 1451, Fleming accumulated and consolidated his lands; his town of Biggar was erected into a free burgh of barony, with a weekly market on Thursdays. He appears as Master of the King's Household, and an auditor of accounts in Exchequer 1 July 1454, and in the Parliamentary Record of Scotland on 16 July at Edinburgh, along with his other newly created Peers.
