The descendants of the Earl of Carrick increased the wealth of the establish-ment, and the great King Robert the Bruce was one of its special benefactors. Inthe year 1404, King Robert the Third conferred on the abbey a right of regalityover its several lands, which gave the fraternity a criminal jurisdiction over theirvassals, including the four pleas of the crown. Some notice of the nature of theserights of regality, as they were extended to ecclesiastical bodies, will be found inthe Account of the Abbey of Dunfermline. No celebrated names appear ecclesi-astically connected with this institution until it waned before the rising influenceof the Reformed church. The last abbot was the celebrated Quintin Kennedy.On his death in 1564, George Buchanan obtained a pension of ;;^500 a year out ofthe abbey revenues, a circumstance from which he was christened Pensioner of * Registrum, p. 425 et seq.
