Rowallan Castle From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Muir
Sir J. Gilchrist Mure, who married the daughter and sole heir of Sir Walter Cumyn with the blessing of King Alexander III, for his part in the battle of Largs.[10] This secured the family seat at Rowallan Castle. Sir J. Gilchrist Muir built two chapels, one at the Well named for Saint Laurence and the other at Banked named for Saint Michael. The vestiges of these were still visible in 1876. The conjoined arms of the first Muir of Rowallan were visible on the oldest part of the castle up until the 18th century.[10]
Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan (daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan and Janet Mure) was mistress to Robert Stewart (who later became Robert II of Scotland in 1371).[14] Later on November 22, 1347, she married him by Papal dispensation to legitimize their previously born children.[14] After their legal marriage, Elizabeth Mure was styled Countess of Atholl.
Sir William Mure was the sixteenth and last Mure of Rowallan. He served in Germany under Gustavus Adolphus. One of his daughters married Sir James Campbell of Lawers, third son of the Earl of Loudoun, who thus became Laird of Rowallan.

  Robert II 1371-1390
  Robert II, the first of the royal House of Stewart, was born on 2nd March, 1316, the son of Robert the Bruce's daughter Marjorie and Walter, 6th High Steward of Scotland. He was delivered by caesarian section, his mother failed to survive the ordeal, dying a few hours later.
  The office of High Steward was hereditary and had been held by Walter's family for generations. Originally the FitzAlans, of Breton descent, the family had arived in Scotland in the twelfth century. They derived their surname from their office, which gradually became corrupted to Stewart. In 1318 a parliament at Scone had declared the two year old Robert as his grandfather's successor, but he was displaced as the heir to the Scottish throne on the birth of Robert's only son, David.
  When his younger uncle, David Bruce, ascended the throne in 1329, Robert fought in his support against Edward Balliol, the son of the Bruce's rival, the puppet King, John Balliol. He was eventually appointed co-regent along with John Randolph, Earl of Moray. He fought for David II at the Battle of Nevilles Cross, where David was taken prisoner but Robert fled. He was appointed Regent of Scotland for a second time for the duration of King David's English captivity. The event was the cause of friction between Robert and his uncle the King, who angrily responded by accusing him of desertion at Neville's Cross.
  In 1371, when his nephew died childless, Robert finally succeeded to the throne of Scotland at the age of fifty-five. He was crowned at Scone, Perthshire, in March, 1371. Reported to have been tall and handsome, in character he was the very antithesis of the famous grandfather whose name he bore. Robert was timid, indecisive and weak-willed.
  The new King of Scotland had been twice married. His first wife, Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan, the daughter of Sir Adam Mure, had presented him with ten children. At the time of his accession he was married to Euphemia, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Ross, by whom he had further issue.
  All of Robert's children by his first wife were born out of wedlock. Elizabeth Mure and Robert had finally married in 1347, but because they were within the forbidden degree of consanguinity, a dispensation had to be acquired from the church which further legitimised their offspring.
  Controversy existed as to whether any of the couple's many children could legally succeed to the throne. Robert eventually came to the decision that his heir was to be his first born son by Elizabeth, John, Earl of Carrick, who was also High Steward of Scotland. The Earl of Carrick, now heir to the throne, was a sickly man with a pronounced limp.
  The unruly Scottish barons held little respect for their new King. Robert was considered an old and weak man and failed to exercise strong control over them.
  Robert II deputized the government of the unruly Highlands to his third son, Alexander, Earl of Buchan, known as the Wolf of Badenoch. Alexander ruled with savagery and plundered Elgin with ferocity.
  As Robert II grew increasingly infirm, his second surviving son Robert, Earl of Fife, was appointed guardian of the kingdom. After an ineffectual reign of nineteen years, Robert died at Dundonald on 19th April, 1390. He was seventy-four at his death, a remarkable age for the time. He was succeeded by his son Robert III.
  The Children of Robert II
  King Robert II had more children than any other King of Scotland, in all 15 by his two marriages.
  The King's first wife, Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan, daughter of Sir Adam Mure, had formerly been his mistress. He married her in 1336, but this marriage was said to be uncanonical. Robert and Elizabeth were re-married in 1349 and all of their 10 children were legitimated at this date:-
  (1) John, Earl of Carrick (later ROBERT III) c.1340-1406
  (2) Alexander, Earl of Buchan 'The Wolf of Badenoch' 1343-1394
  (3) Margaret Stewart m. John Macdonald, Lord of the Isles
  (4) Walter Stewart d. 1362
  (5) Robert, Earl of Albany 1339-1420
  (6) Marjorie Stewart m. (i) John Dunbar, Earl of Moray (ii) Alexander Keith
  (7) Jean Stewart m. (i) Sir John Keith (ii) Sir John Lyon (iii) Sir James Sandilands
  (8) Isabel Stewart m. (i) James Douglas, Earl of Douglas (ii) David Edmondstone
  (9) Katherine Stewart
  (10) Elizabeth Stewart m. sir Thomas Hay, Lord High Constable of Scotland
  By his second wife, Euphemia of Ross, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Ross, the King had a further 5 children:-
  (11) David, Earl of Caithness d. before 1389
  (12) Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl d. 1437
  (13) Margaret Stewart
  (14) Elizabeth Stewart m. David Lindsay, Earl of Crawford
  (15) Egidia Stewart m. Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale
  Robert II also had 8 illegitimate children by various mothers.

  Biography
  Elizabeth Rowallan Mure was the first wife of Robert Stewart, who after her death he became Robert II, King of Scotland. She passed away before 1355. [1]
  Family
  Robert Stewart and Elizabeth Mure had at least 10 children:
  King Robert III
  Walter Stewart, Earl of Fife
  |Robert, Duke of Albany
  Child: Alexander Stewart
  Child: Elizabeth Stewart
  Child: Margaret Stewart, Princess of Scotland
  Child: Jean STEWART, Princess of Scotland
  Child: Isabella Eupheme Stewart, Princess of Scotland

  Child: Egidia Stewart
  Child: Katherine Stewart
  Child: Robert Stewart UNKNOWN
  Child: Margaret Atheyn

  Marriage 22 NOV 1347 Kyle, Ayrshire, Scotland[2]
  Death 1355 Paisley Chaple,Paisley,Renfrewshire,Scotland[3]
  Death 02 MAY 1355 Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, Scotland[4]
  Bruce and Barbara Morrison: When Hugh Giffard III was the age of 9, he was entered into a verbal bond of marriage with the 11 year old Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan. The date of this agreement was about the year 1331. This marriage was never ratified or consummated, and the bond was dissolved by Papal authority on Oct. 12, 1344.
  The daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, she initially became the Steward's mistress. He married her in 1336, but the marriage was criticized as uncanonical, so he remarried her in 1349 following a Papal Dispensation dated at Avignon 22 November 1347. She died before her husband inherited the crown at the rather advanced age of 54, and he married again (Papal Dispensation dated 2 May 1355), so she was never queen of Scotland.
  They had at least ten children. Doubts about the validity of her marriage led to family disputes over her children's right to the crown. However on 27 March 1371, "The Lord John (who later took the title of King Robert III), Earl of Carrick and Steward of Scotland, first-born son of King Robert II" was declared heir to the Crown by Parliament in Scone Abbey.
