Aylmere was one of the Magnates Scotiae who like the majority of those of Norman descent settled in Ayrshire, signed the noted submission to King Edward I of England, known as Ragman Rolls. These documents referred to the question of succession to the Scottish Crown, between King Edward and Balliol. It was signed in Berwick on Tweed on 28 August 1296 for faithful services rendered.
A traditional ancestor of the Hunters was with Rollo, a Viking, at the sack of Paris in 896. He was appointed as a huntsman to one of Rollo's descendants. The Hunters later followed Matilda, queen of William the Conqueror, to England and as a result their name is not included amongst those who accompanied William.
It is likely that the Hunters came to Scotland with David I of Scotland upon his invitation and were given lands named Hunter's Toune.
In 1296 Aylmer le Hunter of the county of Ayr appears on the Ragman Rolls submitting to Edward I of England.
The Ragman Rolls are held in the Tower of London.
