Sir David fitz Walter of Cadzow or David fitz Walter fitz Gilbert de Hameldone, 2nd Laird of Cadzow (d. bef. 1378) was a Scottish nobleman.
The son of Walter fitz Gilbert of Cadzow, he succeeded his father as
Baron of Cadzow before 1346, when he was captured at the Battle of
Neville's Cross. He was considered an important enough captive to be
held by William Zouche, Archbishop of York, under special terms that he
not be released, except under command of Edward III of England. He is
thought to have been knighted prior to the battle.
The next reference to David fitz Walter is in 1361 when he endowed Glasgow Cathedral with a Chaplainry.
In 1368, he received confirmation from the King, David II, of his
patrimonial Lands of Cadzow and elsewhere, with the addition of the
lands and tenentry of Eddlewood.
David fitz Walter took part in the sittings of the Parliament of
Scotland in 1371 and 1373, the latter to confirm John Stewart, Earl of
Carrick and his successors as heirs to the throne of Scotland. The
charter, at New Register House in Edinburgh, still has his seal
appended, with the three cinquefoils for Hamilton, and the
inscription,: Sigill David filii Walter.
