The early history of Scotland is characterised by the absence of surviving contemporary Scottish sources before the 10th century.� This contrasts markedly with the situation in nearly all other European countries during the same period.� No Scottish chronicles survive for this period and references to Scottish affairs in English chronicles are infrequent, although more information is included in Irish chronicles.� In addition, the earliest confirmed Scottish royal charter dates from the reign of King Duncan II at the end of the 11th century, in contrast to the comparative wealth of charter evidence which has survived for Anglo-Saxon England.� Reliable information now available about the early Scottish kingdom and its kings is therefore limited.�

The present document attempts to reconstruct the genealogy of the Scottish kings from the mid-9th century.� The earlier period, about which the information contained in the sources appears semi-mythical, has not been attempted.� The reconstruction is based mainly on information extracted from Irish annals, in particular the Annals of Tigernath and Ulster (discussed in more detail in the Introduction to the document IRELAND), and in the 10th to 14th century Scottish chronicles which were collected by Skene in 1867[1].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun[2], which dates from the 1370s, and the later Liber Pluscardensis[3] are two other important sources which have been consulted, although the former is unreliable on many points of detail.� As will be observed when studying this document, these different primary sources are mutually contradictory in many areas.� The major point of difference concerns the regnal years, which means that dating of the early Scottish kings is reliable only when it can be checked against outside sources such as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.� A complete analysis of the differences in regnal years between the 16 different surviving manuscripts is set out by Duncan[4].�

The nub of the problem with the available Scottish sources is that each succeeding manuscript contains more detailed information than the previous ones.� The suspicion is therefore that later chroniclers supplemented the limited information available with bogus additions, for reasons which will be discussed further below.� The earliest available source, the late 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum which records events up to 995[5], contains a bare outline of the names of the kings with some incomplete information about their affiliations and events during their reigns.� In particular, the Cronica de Origine includes no information about how King Aedh and King Indulf were related to the main family line.� However, when we read the 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach[6] and the 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum[7], we see that the information has been expanded to show all the kings as related to each other.� In the case of Kings Aedh and Indulf, they are stated to have been, respectively, the brother of King Constantine I and the son of King Constantine II.� This process of expanded information continues with the Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177[8] and the two Chronicles of the Picts and Scots dated 1251[9] and 1317[10], all of which include additional details about where the kings died and were buried, as well as some further family relationships.� For example Greg (also referred to as Giric or Grime), son of King Kenneth II, whose death is dated to [1005], is named for the first time in the 1251 chronicle.� It is of course not known which earlier sources, since disappeared, may have been used in the compilation of the later manuscripts.� Nevertheless, this phenomenon of expanded information over time does not inspire confidence in the overall reliability of the data.�

If this hypothesis is correct, what then would have inspired the later chroniclers to add bogus information?� It is not easy to place oneself in the mind of the later medieval chronicler.� However, in the late 11th century Scotland was emerging from a couple of centuries of political anarchy, exacerbated by continual rivalries with England and Ireland as well as frequent Viking attacks.� For the first time, the kingdom benefited from a series of strong kings (for example Malcolm III, David I and William I) who were powerful enough to forge a sense of national identity.� In this climate of renewed vigour, the contemporary chroniclers may have been keen to emphasise continuity in the earlier royal succession in order to reinforce the legitimacy of the present incumbents and boost national identity.� The idea of continuity was probably best served by a lengthy male-line royal ancestry.� In this context, one is reminded of the lengthy genealogies included in the later Anglo-Saxon chronicles which, as discussed in the Introduction to the document ANGLO-SAXON KINGS, were probably designed to reinforce the legitimacy of usurping monarchs and are of dubious factual accuracy.� An interesting case from the Scottish documentation appears to support this idea: that of King Eochlaid, whose reign is dated to the 880s.� He is named in the 10th century Cronica de Origine as successor to his maternal uncle King Aedh.� However, he is omitted from later documents.� If our hypothesis is correct, this omission may have been intentional as his relationship to his predecessor through the female line may have been considered incompatible with the idea of male-line royal continuity.� Another point relates to the alleged burial of the early kings on the island of Iona.� These burials are not mentioned in the 10th century Cronica but are first referred to in the Chronicle dated 1177, suggesting another case of information introduced into later documentation to reinforce the sense of continuity in early Scottish history.�

Other details about the early kings in the later Scottish chronicles are also dubious.� For example, the more than 40 year reign attributed to King Constantine III in the first half of the 10th century, compared with the relatively short reigns of his predecessors and successors.� King Constantine is named in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle so there is little doubt that he did exist, but it is possible that there were in fact two kings of the same name during this period attributed to Constantine III.�

Assuming that the information is correct, the Scottish chronicles reveal a remarkably regular alternation of royal succession between two collateral lines of descent from the earliest kings, with no case of a son succeeding his father.� The obvious explanation is that the succession was claimed by the most powerful individual at the time, and that there was no particular pattern or custom which governed the right to the throne.� No evidence has been uncovered to support any hypothesis regarding any succession pattern of these early kings.� The only reference to succession practice which has been found is the report in the Chronicle of John of Fordun which states that King Kenneth II decreed a change to enable "the nearest survivor in blood to the deceased king to succeed"[11].� The move would obviously have been unpopular in the wider royal family, and King Kenneth was not powerful enough to carry it through, as shown by his murder in 995, alleged in the same source to have been committed by his collateral relatives.�

Another feature of the reconstructed genealogy shown below is the almost total lack of information about female members of the family, in particular the royal consorts.� It would be inappropriate to draw too many conclusions about the insignificance of the role of early Scottish queens, assuming that consorts bore such a title (of which there is no evidence), as the absence of information may reflect lack of interest of the chroniclers rather than generally prevailing practices or attitudes.� However, the information about Scottish queens and princesses which is found in primary sources from other countries is also sparse.� This suggests minimal inter-marriage with neighbouring royal or noble families, in contrast once again with the Anglo-Saxon case, where information from Frankish, German and Scandinavian sources supplements the data in English primary sources concerning royal marriages.��

Scottish kings were neither crowned nor anointed, but inaugurated in a ceremony which took place outdoors near the cross in the cemetery at the east end of the church of Scone.� It is not known when this practice started as the first detailed account of such a ceremony is the 1249 inauguration of King Alexander III, recorded in the chronicle of John of Fordun.� There appears to have been no equivalent ceremony for the queen.�

The normal recorded form of title of the Scottish kings found in primary sources "rex Scottorum", frequently translated into English as "King of the Scots" rather than "King of Scotland", is of little practical significance as it mirrors the practice in chronicles which describe the king of England as "rex Anglorum" and the duke of Normandy as "dux Normannorum".� The form "King of Scotland" is therefore used throughout this document rather than "King of the Scots".�

Early Scottish history between the late 8th and late 11th centuries has been analysed effectively by Alex Woolf, who provides a detailed analysis of primary sources in a highly readable narrative[12].� He pays particular attention to the source which in the present document is called the 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum, which he suggests represents an original king list, spliced with other later material, and compiled in its present form by [1200][13].�

ii) DONALD [Domnall] (-Kinn Belachoir palace or killed in battle Scone 13 Apr [863], bur [Isle of Iona]).� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that "Kinadius�filius Alpini, primus Scottorum�Dunevaldus frater eius" ruled for four years[17].� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum lists "Alpin filius Eochal venenosi iii, Kynedus filius Alpini primus rex Scottorum xvi, Dolfnal filius Alpini iiii�" as kings, dated to the 9th century[18].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Donald also a son of Alpin" succeeded his brother in 854, reigned for four years, died "at Scone" and was buried "in Iona beside his brother"[19].� He succeeded his brother as DONALD I King of Scotland.� The 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach name (in order) "Cinaet mac Ailpin�Domnall mac Ailpin, Custantin mac Cinaeta, (Aedh mac Cinaedha), Girg mac Dungaile, Domnall Dasachtach (mac Custantin)" as Scottish kings, dated to the 9th and 10th centuries[20].� The Annals of Ulster record the death in 862 of "Domnall son of Ailp�n king of the Picts"[21].� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that "Dunevaldus" died "in palacio Cinn Belachoir idus Aprilis"[22].� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 records that "Douenald mac Alpin" reigned for 4 years, died "in Rathinueramon" and was buried "in Iona insula"[23].�

a) GREG [Grig/Ciricius] (-Donedoure [892], bur [Isle of Iona]).� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that, when "Eochodius�filius Run regis Britannorum, nepos Cinadei ex filia" succeeded King Aedh, "others say" that "Licet Ciricium filium" reigned[24].� The Cronica de Origine fixes the chronology by adding that "Aed filius Neil" died in the second year of his reign, and that there was a solar eclipse in the ninth year, adding that "Eochodius" was expelled from the kingdom.� The Annals of Inisfallen and Annals of Ulster record the death of Aedh son of Niall King of Ireland (see the document IRELAND) in 879 of "Aed son of Niall king of Temuir�[25], which would place the accession of GREG King of Scotland to [877].� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum lists "�Hed filius Kinet i anno, Grig filius Dunegal xii�" as king, dated to the 9th century[26].� No information has yet been found to identify his alleged father "Licet".� However, a different indication of Greg�s parentage is provided by the 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach, which name (in order) "Cinaet mac Ailpin�Domnall mac Ailpin, Custantin mac Cinaeta, (Aedh mac Cinaedha), Girg mac Dungaile, Domnall Dasachtach (mac Custantin)" as Scottish kings, dated to the 9th and 10th centuries[27]� The Chronicle of John of Fordun, presumably echoing the Synchronisms, records that "his brother Heth the Wing-footed�also a son of Kenneth the Great" succeeded King Constantine and reigned one year, although "according to the rule of the kingship Gregory son of Dungallus should have come before him", adding in a later passage that Gregory succeeded as king in 875 after Aedh died, and reigned eighteen years[28].� The chronology suggests that "Ciricius" and "Gregory" refer to the same person.� If these sources are being read correctly, Greg and Eochlaid ruled at the same time, presumably as rival kings probably over different parts of the country.� If the mid-14th century John of Fordun can be believed, Greg had a better claim to the throne than King Aedh.� This would suggest that he was a member of the same family, maybe in the previous generation.� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 records that "Edh mac Kynnath" reigned for one year, was killed "in bello de in Strathalun a Girg filio Dungal" and that "Girg mac Dungal" reigned for 12 years, died "in Dundurn" and was buried "in Iona insula"[29].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 includes the same information[30].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "King Gregory died after a vigorous reign of eighteen years, all but a few months�at Donedoure" and was buried "in the island of Iona"[31].�

a) son (-killed in battle [936/37]).� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that "filius Constantini" was killed in "bellum Duinbrunde" in the 33rd year of Constantine�s reign[97].� This date appears to coincide with the battle of Brunanburh in which �thelstan King of Wessex defeated the invasion of England in which King Constantine participated (see above), although it is not certain that "Duinbrunde" refers to the same battle.�

b) [INDULF [Ildulb] (-killed at the battle of the Bauds, Muir of Findochty, Banffshire [962], bur [Isle of Iona]).� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that "Indulfus" was king after King Malcolm I and reigned for eight years[98].� As noted in the Introduction to this document, the relationship between Indulf and King Constantine II is only mentioned from the 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach which name (in order) "�Domnall Dasachtach (mac Custantin), Custantin mac Aeda, Maelcolaim mac Domnall, Illolb mac Custantin, Dub mac Maelcolaim, Cuillen mac Illiulb�" as Scottish kings, dated to the 10th century[99].� The suspicion is that his family relationship may have been fabricated by later Scottish chroniclers who were concerned with reinforcing the continuity in the male line of the Scottish succession.� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum lists "�Indolf filius Constantin ix�" as king[100].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Indulf son of Constantine son of Heth the Wing-footed" succeeded in 952 after King Malcolm was killed[101].� He succeeded his second cousin in 954 as INDULF King of Scotland.� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 records that "Indolf mac Constantin" reigned for 9 years, was killed "a Noruagensibus in Innercolan" and was buried "in Iona insula"[102].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 includes the same information[103].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that Indulf was killed by the Danes and was buried in "Columba�s island"[104].� m ---.� The name of Indulf's wife is not known.� Indulf & his wife had three children:

2. KENNETH (-maybe murdered Finella's Castle, Fettercairn [995], bur Isle of Iona).� The 10th century Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum records that "Cinadius filius Maelcolaim" succeeded after the death of Colin, adding that after one year he invaded Saxony and brought back "filium regis Saxonum"[151].� The 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach name (in order) "�Cuillen mac Illiulb, Cinaet mac Maelcolaim, Custantin mac Cuilen, Cinaet mac Duib, Maelcolaim mac Cinaeta" as Scottish kings, dated to the 10th and 11th centuries[152].� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum lists "�Kinet filius Malcolin xxii annis et ii mensibus�" as king[153].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Kenneth the son of Malcolm and brother of King Duff" succeeded as king in 970 after Culen was killed and reigned for twenty-four years and nine months[154].� He succeeded in 971 as KENNETH II King of Scotland.� Florence of Worcester records that "subreguli eius octo�Kynath�rex Scottorum, Malcolm rex Cumbrorum, Maccus plurimarum rex insularum et alii quinque Dufnal, Siferth, Huwal, Jacob, Juchil" submitted to King Eadgar at Chester and rowed him on the river Dee, dated to [973] from the context[155].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that King Kenneth II decreed a change to the Scottish royal succession to enable "the nearest survivor in blood to the deceased king to succeed", in opposition to "Constantine the Bald, son of King Culen, and Gryme son of Kenneth son of King Duff"[156].� The same source adds that the king�s opponents persuaded "the daughter of Cruchne, Earl of Angus�Finele" to murder the king in revenge for the death of her son which he had ordered[157].� The Annals of Ulster record that "Cinaed son of Mael Coluim king of Scotland was deceitfully killed" in 995[158].� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 records that "Kynnath mac Malcolm" reigned for 24 years and 2 months, was killed "a suis hominibus in Fetherkern" through the treachery of "Finuele filie filie Cunthar comitis de Anguss" whose only son had been killed by the king[159].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 includes the same information[160].� m ---.� The name of Kenneth's wife is not known.� The Prophecy of Berch�n (dated to the early 11th century?[161]) records that the mother of King Malcolm II came from Leinster[162].� If this report is accurate, Kenneth�s status suggests that his wife would have been the daughter of one of the kings of Leinster (see the document IRELAND).� Insufficient information is known about the several 10th century Leinster kings to be able to guess which one might have been her father.� Kenneth II & his wife had one child:�

a) MALCOLM ([954]-Glamis Castle, Angus 25 Nov 1034, bur Isle of Iona).� The 11th century Synchronisms of Flann Mainistreach name (in order) "�Cuillen mac Illiulb, Cinaet mac Maelcolaim, Custantin mac Cuilen, Cinaet mac Duib, Maelcolaim mac Cinaeta" as Scottish kings, dated to the 10th and 11th centuries[163].� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum lists "�Malcolin filius Kinet xxx�" as king[164].� It is tempting to suggest that either he, or his first cousin with the same name, spent time at the court of Edgar King of England during his youth, as "Malcolm dux" subscribed a charter of King Edgar relating to land in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk dated 970[165], but there is no proof of the co-identity of these persons.� He succeeded in 1005 as MALCOLM II King of Scotland.� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that Grime was killed by Malcolm, son of King Kenneth II, who succeeded as king[166].� He attacked northern England in 1006.� King of Lothian from [1016], becoming effective ruler of the whole of Scotland.� The Historia Regum of Simeon of Durham records a battle between "Huctredum filium Waldef comitem Northymbrorum" and "Malcolmum filium Cyneth regem Scottorum" at "Carrum" in 1018[167].� The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Malcolm submitted to Canute King of England in 1031, along with "two other kings, M�lbeth and Iehmarc"[168].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun defended Cumbria against King Canute, who agreed that it should be ruled by Malcolm�s grandson Duncan[169].� The Annals of Ulster record the death in 1034 of "Mael Coluim son of Cinaed, king of Scotland"[170].� The Annals of Tigernach record the death in 1034 of �Mael-Colu�mb son of Cinaed king of Scotland�[171].� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 records that "Malcolm mac Kynnat Rex" reigned for 30 years, died "in Glammes" and was buried "in Yona"[172].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 includes the same information[173].� m ---.� The name of Malcolm's wife is not known.� King Malcolm III & his wife had [four] children:

i) BETHOC .� The "Genealogy of King William the Lyon" dated 1175 names "Betoch filii Malcolmi" as parent of "Malcolmi filii Dunecani"[174].� The Chronicle of the Scots and Picts dated 1177 names "Cran Abbatis de Dunkelden et Bethok filia Malcolm mac Kynnet" as parents of King Duncan[175].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that King Malcolm II had "an only daughter�Beatrice who married Crynyne Abthane of Dul and Steward of the Isles�in some annals, by a blunder of the writer�abbot of Dul"[176].� Lady of Atholl.� m ([1000]) CRINAN "the Thane" Mormaer of Atholl, son of --- (-killed in battle 1045).�

ii) [DONADA .� Many secondary sources name Donada as a younger daughter of King Malcolm II and the mother of King Macbeth.� It seems that the proof for this connection is slim.� The only source so far identified which refers to Macbeth�s maternal origin is the Chronicle of Huntingdon which names "Maket Regem [=King Macbeth] nepotem dicti Malcolmi" when recording that he was expelled from Scotland after ruling 15 years[177].� The word "nepos" is of course treacherous, and could indicate a variety of relationships in addition to grandson.� However, it appears that early historians assumed that "grandson" was the correct translation.� For example, Ralph Holinshed�s 1577 Chronicle of Scotland names "Doada" as second daughter of Malcolm II King of Scotland and adds that she married "Sinell the thane of Glammis, by whom she had issue one Makbeth"[178].� Another variation is provided by the Cronykil of Andrew of Wyntoun, which records that "Makbeth-Fynlak, his systyr sowne" murdered King Duncan[179].� From a chronological point of view, it is unlikely that Macbeth could have been a nephew of King Duncan, but it is possible that the passage represents an interpretation of "nepos" from an earlier source and has confused the king with whom Macbeth enjoyed this relationship.� No source earlier than Holinshed has been found which names her Donada.� m as his second wife, FINDLAECH MacRory Thane of Angus Mormaer of Moray, son of RUAIDHRI Mormaer of Moray & his wife --- (-1020).� The Annals of Ulster record the death in 1020 of "Finnlaech son of Ruadr� king of Alba�killed by his own people"[180].]�

iii) [son .� Rodulfus Glaber refers to Canute King of England seeking "the friendship of the king of the Scots, receiving his son at the font of baptism"[181].� This passage follows a description of "the Scots whose king was called Malcolm" resisting King Canute's invasion, undated but from the context apparently occurring at the start of Canute's reign.� If it is correct that King Malcolm had a son baptised at this time, he would have been considerably younger than the king's daughters, presumably therefore born to a different mother.� No corroborative evidence for the existence of this son has been found in other contemporary sources.]�

iv) [daughter .� Orkneyinga Saga records that �Earl Sigurd� married �the daughter of Malcolm King of Scots�[182].� Snorre records the marriage of "Sigurd the Thick" and "a daughter of the Scottish king Malcolm"[183].� It appears unlikely that Sigurd�s wife could have been King Malcolm�s possible daughter Donada (as shown in many secondary sources, including the Complete Peerage[184]) if it is correct that Donada�s recorded husband Findlaech was killed in 1020 and also that their son was born in [1005][185].� m SIGURD "Digri" Hlodverson Jarl of Orkney and Caithness, son of HLODVIR [Lodver] Torfinnsson & his wife Audna --- (-killed in battle Clontarf 23 Apr 1014).]�

[m] [firstly] ([before 1058]) ---.� The identity of the mother of King Malcolm's sons Duncan and Donald is uncertain.� The absence of any reference to her in Scottish sources is best explained if her relationship with the king ended before his accession in 1058.� However, this is not totally consistent with the estimated birth dates of her sons as shown below.� It should be noted that King Duncan II, in his charter dated 1093, makes no reference to his mother, which implies that his father's relationship with her may have been short-lived and informal.� Orkneyinga Saga records that �Ingibjorg the Earls�-Mother� (Ingibj�rg Finnsdatter, widow of Thorfinn "the Black" Jarl of Orkney and Caithness, daughter of Finn Arnisson [later Jarl of Halland in Denmark]) married �Malcolm King of Scots, known as Long-neck� and that �their son was Duncan, King of Scots, father of William�[322].� There must be considerable doubt about whether this can be correct.� Ingibj�rg's [first] husband died in [1060/65].� King Malcolm's marriage to Queen Margaret is dated to 1070, three years after her arrival at the Scottish court.� Although this provides sufficient time after the death of her first husband for the king to have married Ingebj�rg, and for Ingebj�rg to have died, the chronology for the birth of two sons would be tight.� In addition, it is unlikely that either of these sons was born after [1065], as explained further below.� If the king had really married Ingibj�rg during this time, and if she had given birth to two sons, the absence of any reference to her in either Scottish or English sources is all the more surprising.� It is possible that King Malcolm's marriage to Ingibj�rg (if it did take place) was more Danico, implying concubinage rather than regular marriage, but this does not change the chronological difficulties.� The one puzzle which remains, if the Saga is not correct, is why the author would have fabricated this detail.�

2. DONALD ([1060/65]-[killed in battle] 1085).� There is no indication of the name of Donald's mother.� His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was an adult when killed, and old enough to have had a son himself at that time, but this precludes his being the son of Queen Margaret.� It is possible that he was illegitimate.� The Annals of Ulster record that "Domnall son of Mael Coluim, king of Scotland�ended [his] life unhappily" in 1085[350].� No further information has been found concerning the circumstances.� m ---.� The name of Donald's wife is not known.� Donald & his wife had [one possible child]:�

EDMUND (-after 1097, bur [Montacute]).� He is named, and his parentage given, by Roger of Hoveden, who lists him second of the sons[359].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun names "Edward, Edmund, Ethelred, Edgar, Alexander and�David" as the sons of King Malcolm and his wife, adding in a later passage that Edmund "was buried at Montacute in England"[360].� He succeeded in 1094 as EDMUND joint King of Scotland, jointly with his uncle King Donald III "Bane", ruling south of the Forth/Clyde.� He was deposed in 1097 by his brother Edgar, and became a monk at Montacute Abbey.� Edmund is not mentioned either by Orderic Vitalis in his brief account of the usurpation of King Donald "Bane"[361], or by Florence of Worcester in his account of the deposition of King Donald in 1097[362].� If Edmund was older than his brother Edgar, it is not clear why their uncle Edgar �theling, who led the English army which deposed their uncle, would have supported the accession of Edgar in place of Edmund.� The Annals of Ulster record that he was involved in the killing of his half-brother King Duncan[363].� William of Malmesbury records that "Edmund was the only degenerate son of Margaret", that he "[partook] in his uncle Donald's crime and�had been accessory to his brother's death", was "doomed to perpetual imprisonment", and "on his near approach of death, ordered himself to be buried in his chains"[364].� The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum records that "Edmundus" was buried "apud Montem Acutum in�cella Cluniacensi"[365].�

5. EDGAR ([1074]-[Dundee or Edinburgh Castle] 6 Jan 1107, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife).� He is named, and his parentage given, by Roger of Hoveden, who lists him third of the sons[366].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun names "Edward, Edmund, Ethelred, Edgar, Alexander and�David" as the sons of King Malcolm and his wife[367].� He succeeded in 1097 as EDGAR King of Scotland.� Florence of Worcester records that "clitorem Eadgarum" led an army to Scotland in [1097] to place "consobrinum suum Eadgarum Malcolmi regis filium" on the Scottish throne after expelling "patruo suo Dufenaldo"[368].� The reign of Edgar is ignored by Orderic Vitalis, who says that Alexander succeeded when King Donald was deposed[369].� "Edgarus filius Malcolmi Regis Scottorum" made grants for the souls of "fratrum meorum Doncani et Edwardi" by charter dated 30 Aug 1095, subscribed by "Egeri regis, Alexandri fratri eius, Manyanium, Agulfi, filii Doncani, Eyluerti, filii Eghe Omani, Uhtredi, filii Magdufe, Constantini, Rodberti de humet, �tele, A. gulfi, Alimoldi filii sui, David"[370].� The precise dating of this charter and the unusual list of subscribers suggest that it may be spurious.� "Edgarus�Rex Scottorum" made grants for the souls of "Malcolmi patris nostri et Margaret� matris nostr�ac Edwardi et Duncani fratrum nostrorum" by charter dated 1095[371].� Robert of Torigny records the death in 1107 of "Edgarus rex Scoti�"[372].� Florence of Worcester records the death "VIII Id Jan" in [1107] of "Eadgarus rex Scottorum"[373].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 records that "Edgar mac Malcolm" reigned for 9 years, died "in Dunedin", and was buried "in Dumferline"[374].�

6. ALEXANDER ([1077/78]-Stirling Castle 23, 25 or 27 Apr 1124, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife).� He is named, and his parentage given, by Roger of Hoveden, who lists him fourth of the sons[375].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun names "Edward, Edmund, Ethelred, Edgar, Alexander and�David" as the sons of King Malcolm and his wife[376].� Robert of Torigny records that "Alexander frater eius" succeeded in 1107 on the death of "Edgarus rex Scoti�"[377].� He succeeded his brother in 1107 as ALEXANDER I "the Fierce" King of Scotland.� Florence of Worcester records that "Alexander frater eius" succeeded his brother King Edgar in [1107][378].� "Alexander�rex Scottorum filius regis Malcolmi et regine Margerete et�Sibilla regina Scottorum filia Henrici regis Anglie" reformed Scone Abbey by charter dated to [1114/15], witnessed by "Alexander nepos regis Alexandri, Beth comes, Gospatricius Dolfini, Mallus comes, Madach comes, Rothri comes, Gartnach comes, Dufagan comes, Willelmus frater regine, Edwardus constabularius, Gospatricius filius Walthef, Ufieth Alfricus pincerna"[379].� The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 records that "Alexander" reigned for 17 years and 3 months, died "in Crasleth", and was buried "in Dumferline"[380].� The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "VII Kal Mai" [1123] of "Alexander rex Scottorum"[381].� m (before [1114/15]) SIBYL, illegitimate daughter of HENRY I King of England & his mistress [---/Sibyl Corbet] (-Island of the Women, Loch Tay, Perthshire 12/13 Jul 1122, bur Island of the Women, Loch Tay).� William of Malmesbury records the marriage of Alexander to the unnamed illegitimate daughter of King Henry, but adds "there was�some defect about the lady either in correctness of manners or elegance of person"[382], which appears to imply mental retardation.� "Alexander�rex Scottorum filius regis Malcolmi et regine Margerete et�Sibilla regina Scottorum filia Henrici regis Anglie" reformed Scone Abbey by charter dated to [1114/15][383].� Her name is confirmed by various charters, including the charter dated to [1120] under which "Alexander�Rex Scottorum filius Regis Malcolmi et Regin� Margaret� et�Sibilla regina Scottorum filia Henrici regis Angli�" made grants[384].� Considering the date of her marriage, it is unlikely that she was born much later than [1095].� The Complete Peerage[385] suggests that she was the daughter of Sibyl Corbet, both because of her name and also because of the possible co-identity between "�Willelmo fratre regin�", who witnessed the charter dated 1124 under which "Alexander�Rex Scottorum" granted jurisdiction to the prior of Scone[386], and� "�Willielmo fratre meo�" who witnessed the charter dated to [1163/75] under which "Reginaldus, Henrici Regis filius, comes Cornubi�" granted property to "Willielmo de Boterell, filio Alizi� Corbet, materter� me�"[387].� However, this co-identity is not ideal from a chronological point of view.� William, brother of Renaud Earl of Cornwall, died after 1187.� If he was the same person as the brother of Sibyl Queen of Scotland, he could only have been a child when he subscribed the Scottish charters in which he is named.� In addition, as noted in the document ENGLAND KINGS, it is possible that William, brother of Earl Renaud, may have been his uterine brother, in which case it is unlikely that he would have been chosen to accompany the queen to Scotland.� Another factor is that the birth of Herbert FitzHerbert, son of Sibyl Corbet by her marriage, is estimated to [1125/35] (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY).� This means that he could only have been Sibyl�s half-brother if she had been a young girl at the time of her marriage.� On the other hand, "Robert Corbet" witnessed charters in Scotland which are dated to late in the reign of King Alexander and the early years of the reign of his brother King David (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY).� If Robert Corbet was Queen Sibyl�s maternal grandfather or her maternal uncle, this could account for his presence at the Scottish court at the time.� The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records the death in 1122 "apud Lochtay cellam canonicorum de Scona" of "Sibilla�regine Scocie uxor regis Alexandri, filia Henrici Beuclerk regis Anglie"[388].� King Alexander I had one illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:�

a) MALCOLM ([1105/15]-after 1130).� Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of King Alexander, �Melcofus...nothus Alexandri flius� claimed the kingdom but was defeated by King David after two wars[389].� The same source gives further details: in 1130, �Aragois comes Morafi� cum Melcolfo� invaded Scotland with an army but were defeated by �Eduardus Siwardi filius...consobrinus David regis�[390].� Orderic does not record the fate of Malcolm.� Robert of Torigny records that "Aragois comes Morefie cum Melcolmo notho filio Alexandri fratri regis David" invaded Scotland in 1130[391].� The Complete Peerage identifies Malcolm as Malcolm MacHeth who was created Earl of Ross in 1162 or before[392], which seems unlikely to be correct.�

7. ETHELRED (-before [1107], bur [St Andrew�s Church, Kilremont]).� He is named, and his parentage given, by Roger of Hoveden, who lists him fifth of the sons[393].� The Chronicle of John of Fordun names "Edward, Edmund, Ethelred, Edgar, Alexander and�David" as the sons of King Malcolm and his wife, adding in a later passage that Ethelred "as some assert�lies buried in St Andrew�s church at Kilremont"[394].� Lay abbot of Dunkeld.� "Edelradus�filius Malcolmi Regis Scoti� Abbas de Dunkeldense et insuper Comes de Fyf" made donations to the Keledei of Loch Leven by undated charter, witnessed by "duo fratres Hedelradi�David et Alexander�Constantini comitis de Fyf et Nesse et Cormac filii Macbeath et Malnethte filii Beollani sacerdotum de Abyrnethyn et Mallebride alterius sacerdotis"[395].�

3. MARGARET ([1144/45]-1201, bur Sawtrey Abbey).� Her origin and first marriage are deduced from Benedict of Peterborough who records that "filia sororis regis Scoti� Willelmi comitissa Brittani�" gave birth in 1186 to "filium�Arturum"[461].� Her birth date is estimated from the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 which records property �villam de Wissinton� held by �Margareta comitissa�xl annorum�, adding that �comes Britannie habet filiam suam� and that she has �i filium de Humfrido de Buun qui est infra etatem�[462].� The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1160 of "Malcolm king of Scotland�his sister Margaret to Conan duke of Brittany"[463].� The Genealogia Comitum Richemundi� records that "Conanus filius Alani" married "Margaretam sororem Willielmi Regis Scotie"[464].� "Conan dux Britannie comes Richmundie" confirmed the donation of Plubihan and Plougasnou to Saint-Georges de Rennes by charter to [1156/69], witnessed by "Margarita comitissa, Willelmo filio Hamon, Alano de Rohan, Constancia sorore comitis�"[465].� A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that �dominus Humfridus quartus de Bohun, comes Herefordi� et constabularius Angli�� married �Margaretam comitissam Britanni��[466].� [Two possibilities have been proposed for a third marriage of Margaret.� Firstly, Evans suggests that she was the second marriage of Pedro de Lara, quoting a charter dated "X Kal Feb 1221" (Spanish Era = A. D. 23 Jan 1183) at Anjou which records a donation by "P�comes de Lara�comitisse Marger� uxori mee consanguinee H...angl� regis" of "Molmera et Handaluz et Agusinu et Eles et Pulucranke�in Hyspania" to Llanthony abbey, witnessed by "comes Gaufredus Britannie, J. sine terra, J. comes J, Mauricius de Creon senescallus Andeg, J. Didaci comitis"[467].� He points out that Llanthony had been founded in 1136 by Miles of Gloucester, whose eldest daughter married Humphrey de Bohun, who was the father of Margaret�s second husband[468].� If this origin is correct, Pedro�s marriage to Margaret was presumably terminated before her death, given his third marriage.� The difficulty with Evans�s proposal is the obvious age difference between Pedro de Lara and Margaret of Scotland.� Another possibility, which also justifies the connection with Llanthony through the Bohun family and is more satisfactory from a chronological point of view, is that Pedro�s second wife was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Margaret�s.� The second possibility for a third marriage for Margaret with "the Berwickshire thegn" William FitzPatrick of Greenlaw, Westmoreland was proposed by Washington[469], and accepted by Hedley[470].� The Liber de S. Marie de Calchou (Kelso abbey) lists "Carta Willi fil Patric�in villa de Grenlaw" which records the donation by "M comitisse uxoris mee" to Kelso of land "in Grenelawe quem Lyolfus eq�cius tenuit"[471], while the Pipe Roll of 1184 for Westmoreland records lands owned by "Countess Margaret"[472].� Washington assigns three children to this marriage: "1. Walter de Washington, 2. Sir William de Washington, 3. Marjory who married firstly David de Lindsay (from which marriage descended Sir Robert de Pinkney, a competitor for the Scottish crown in 1291) and secondly Sir Malcolm FitzWaldeve alias de Ingoe".]� The Annals of Burton record the death in 1201 of �Margareta mater�Constanti�, soror Willelmi regis Scoti�, mater Henrici de Boum comitis Herefordi��[473].� m firstly (1160) CONAN IV "le Petit" Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son of ALAIN Earl of Richmond & his wife Berthe heiress of Brittany ([1138]-18 or 20 Feb 1171).� m secondly (1171 before Easter) HUMPHREY [IV] de Bohun, son of HUMPHREY [III] de Bohun & his wife Margaret of Hereford (-[1180]).� Hereditary Constable of England.� [Two possible alternatives for her third marriage: (1) m thirdly as his second wife, conde don PEDRO Manrique de Lara Vicomte de Narbonne, son of conde don MANRIQUE P�rez de Lara & his wife Ermesinde Ctss de Narbonne (-Jan 1202, bur Santa Mar�a de Huerta).

This section is based on research carried out for the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project. This Project, run by the Genealogical Studies Postgraduate Programme based in the Centre for Lifelong Learning of the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, consisted of two strands. One focussed on researching the lives and families of the 48 nobles and barons who were either named in the 6 Apr 1320 Arbroath declaration document or attached their seals to it[732]. The second aimed to develop methodologies for the use of genetic genealogy in tracing early descents. The data added here has been contributed by Graham S. Holton, who led the Project.�

HENRY de Stirling, illegitimate son of DAVID Earl of Huntingon & his mistress --- (-after 1 Nov 1241).� "Walkelino filio Stephani, Willo Wacelin Henr et Henrico fil meis�" witnessed the undated charter under which "Comes David frater regis Scotorum" donated "elemosinam totum Kanum et Kuneueth" to St Andrew�s priory[733].� "�Henrico filio comitis�" subscribed the undated charter under which "Comes David frater regis Scottorum" founded Lindores Abbey[734].� It is unlikely that Henry was legitimate as, unlike his [half-brother] David, he is not named as a beneficiary of the foundation in the body of the charter.� Henry is also named well down the list of subscribers to the document, indicating an inferior position relative to the other subscribers.� "�Waltero Olifard, Henrico filio comitis David�" subscribed the undated charter under which "comes David frater regis Scottorum" donated "totam terram de Perthegus�et�terre in Pethannot" to Lindores Abbey[735].� "�duobus Henricis filiis comitis�" subscribed the undated charter under which "Comes David frater regis Scocie" donated "Culsamuel et�Munkegyn" to Lindores Abbey[736].� "Johannes de Scocia comes Huntedun" donated "terram�de Lundors" to Lindores Abbey by undated charter, subscribed by "Henrico de Striuelin fratre meo�"[737].� "Henricus de Brechyn filius comitis Dauid" donated revenue to Lindores Abbey, for the souls of "Juliane sponse mee et Willelmi filii mei", by undated charter, witnessed by "Domino Henrico de Striuelin fratre meo�Willelmo filio meo�"[738].� "�Henrico de Strivelin filio comitis David�" subscribed the charter dated 12 Feb 1236 under which Alexander II King of Scotland confirmed donations to Kinloss[739].� �Henricus, filius Comitis David� donated property for the sustenance of �unius capellani...in capella de Inchemartyn infra curiam meam� by charter dated 1 Nov 1241, witnessed by �Malcomo de la Haye, persona de Erole, Andrea de Striueling, persona de Inchethor...Gileberto de la Haye...�[740].�

m ---.� The name of Henry�s wife is not known.�

Henry & his wife had [two children]:

1.

2. [ALEXANDER de Inchmartin (-before 1279).� Barrow suggests there is clear evidence from the inheritance of lands at Inchmartin indicating that Alexander was descended from Henry of Stirling and was almost certainly his son[742].� �...Alexandro de Ynchemartin...� witnessed the charter dated 31 Mar 1262 under which �Gilbertus dominus de Rothven in Strathern miles, filius Walteri de Rotheven� relinquished land in favour of "Willelmo de Mortuo Mari cognato meo"[743].� �...Domino Johanne de Cambrun, domino Alexandro de Inchemartine...� witnessed the charter dated 5 Mar 1270 under which �Henricus filius Ade de Lur� confirmed a donation to Coupar-Angus[744].� He is named as the late father of his son John in the undated Dunfermline charter quoted below.� He is named as grandfather of the donor John de Inchmartin in the vidimus of the [1314/20] charter included in the 17 May 1367 charter quoted below under his grandson John.� m CHRISTIANA Cameron, daughter of JOHN Cameron Lord of Baledgerno & his wife ---.� Her parentage and marriage are confirmed in the vidimus of the [1314/20] charter included in the 17 May 1367 charter quoted below under her grandson John. �Her father or her brother was presumably the witness in the 5 Mar 1270 charter quoted above under her husband.� Alexander & his wife had [two] children:�

i) HENRY de Inchmartin (-[1314/20]).� �...Henry de Inchemartin, knights...� is named among Scottish prisoners captured at Dunbar and taken to Windsor castle 16 May 1296, while a document dated 12 Feb 1297 records payments in respect of prisoners at Windsor including �...Henry de Inchemartin, knights...�[752].� Under letters dated 22 Aug 1297, �...John de Inchemartin� guaranteed that �...Sir Henry de Inchemartin...knights...� would serve in the English king�s army in France[753].� �...Dominis Johanne de Inchemartyn et Henrico filio eius militibus...� witnessed the charter dated to [1301/09] under which �Johannes de Kynros miles� donated �terram meam de Camboch in Glenylef� to Coupar-Angus[754].� �Henricus de Inchemartyn miles dominus eiusdem� donated revenue from �terris meis de Inchemartyn et de Cragdali� to Coupar-Angus by charter dated to [1306 or later], sealed by �domini Gilberti de Haya domini de Erol et domini Johannis de Inchemartyn fratris mei rectoris ecclesie de Rothnach� and witnessed by �Gilberto de Haya Hugone fratre Domini Comitis de Anegus Radulfo Musart militibus...�[755].� He is named as deceased in the vidimus of the [1314/20] charter included in the 17 May 1367 charter quoted below under his brother John.�

ii) JOHN [II] de Inchmartin (-after 4 Oct 1332, [maybe killed in battle Durham [16 Oct] 1346]).� �Henricus de Inchemartyn miles dominus eiusdem� donated revenue from �terris meis de Inchemartyn et de Cragdali� to Coupar-Angus by charter dated to [1306 or later], sealed by �...domini Johannis de Inchemartyn fratris mei rectoris ecclesie de Rothnach�[756].� �Johannes de Inchemartyn filius bone memorie domini Johannis de Inchemartyn� granted rights of passage through his lands to Coupar-Angus, for the souls of �dicti domini Johannis patris mei et domine Johanne matris mee�, by charter dated to [1307-17][757].� �John de Inchmartin� sealed the 6 Apr 1320 declaration of Arbroath[758]. Thomas Earl of Mar (�Thomas Comes de marr�) confirmed that �quondam domini Johannis de Inchemartyne militis domini eiusdem� donated �terra de Morthelyth in Marr� [Murtle, Aberdeenshire] to Coupar-Angus by charter dated 17 May 1367, quoting the earlier charter [dated to 1314/20] under which �Johannes de Inchemartyne dominus de eadem� donated the property (�quamquidem terram quondam Johannes cum Christiana filia sua dedit bone memorie domino Alexandro de Inchemartyne auo meo in liberum maritagium�), for the souls of �bone memorie domini Johannis de Inchemartyne patris mei et domine Johanne matris mee et quondam domini Henrici de Inchemartyne fratris mei�, with the consent of �Johannis Cambrun domini de Balgligernache� (who also sealed)[759].� Sheriff of Perth: �...dominorum Johannis de Inchmartyn tunc vicecomitis de Perth, Gilberti de Haya constabularii Scotie...� sealed the charter dated 1325 which records an agreement between �dominum Henricum de Maule militem dominum de Panemor et capitalem dominum terrarum de Banevy et Balrothery� and "Johannem de Glasreth, tenentem suum de dictis terris" concerning those lands[760].� �Gilbertus de Haya dominus de Erole et Constabularius Scocie� donated property to Coupar-Angus by charter dated to [1331/33], witnessed by �...dominis Johanne de Inchemartyn et Johanne de Cambrun militibus...�[761].� The Lanercost Chronicle records "tresdecim militibus...Johanne de Inchemartyn..." who submitted to Edward Balliol after he was installed as king 4 Oct 1332[762].� Fraser indicates that �Sir John de Inchmartin...or his son Gilbert was among the slain at Durham in 1346�, suggesting that the sources cited below recording the death there of �Gilbert� may have mistaken him for John �as no other reference to a Gilbert has been found, but Gilbert may have been a son and heir of John, and dying without issue, his sister Isabel would be his heir�[763].� [m firstly ---.� No proof of this earlier marriage has been found.� However, it looks likely as John [II]�s known marriage �after Jun 1329� would be late for a first marriage, especially as he was already named in �1306 or later� (see above) when he had presumably attained the age of majority.� A first marriage could also explain the existence of John�s son Gilbert, who was probably an adult if he was killed in battle in 1346 as suggested by the sources quoted below.]� m [secondly] (after Jun 1329) MARGARET Wemyss, daughter of [MICHAEL Wemyss & his wife ---].� Fraser records that �a writer, usually accurate, who had access to the charters of the family of Ogilvy of Inchmartin about 1700� states that �in the time of King David the Second, Sir John Inchmartin, then lord of Inchmartin� obtained one-third of Wemyss, with the principal manor, �by marriage with Margaret eldest daughter and co-heiress of Sir David Wemyss�[764].� Fraser corrects �David� to �Michael�, noting that the latter was �the last male of the elder line of the family�; he adds that �other genealogical writers� [unspecified] �have alleged that Margaret...was the only child and heiress of Sir David Wemyss who died in 1375� but notes that �he was only a cadet of the family of Wemyss, and the statement is erroneous on other grounds [unspecified]�[765].� If Fraser correctly dates the marriage to the reign of King David II, it took place after his accession in Jun 1329, but probably several years later bearing in mind the marriage of the couple�s daughter �before 28 Dec 1362� (see below).� John & his [first wife had one child]:�

(1) [GILBERT de Inchmartin (-killed in battle Durham [16 Oct] 1346).� The Liber Pluscardensis records �...Gilbertus dominus de Inchemartyn...� among those killed at Durham [16 Oct] 1346[766].� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records "...Gilbertus de Inchmartin..." among those killed at Durham[767].� As noted above, it is possible that �Gilbert� in these sources was an error for �John� and that John [II] de Inchmartin was killed at Durham.� If Gilbert did exist and had succeeded his father as Lord of Inchmartin, he would presumably have been born from an earlier marriage as suggested above.]��

John & his [second] wife had one child:�

(2) ISABEL de Inchmartin .� Fraser records that �the daughter and heiress of Sir John Inchmartin and Margaret Wemyss...Isabel� married �before 1362, Sir Alan Erskine, brother of Sir Robert Erskine chamberlain of Scotland� who �in her right became lord of Inchmartin...[and] possessor of her portion of the Wemyss estate...one-third�, and names their children and later descendants[768].� m (before 28 Dec 1362) ALAN Erskine, son of ---.� �Isabella domina de Fyffe� granted �duo releuia�terris dominii de la Wemis� to �Alano de Erskyne domino de Inchemartine� by charter dated 28 Dec 1362[769].� The grant of Wemyss suggests that this charter was issued soon after Alan�s marriage and acquisition of rights to Wemyss through his wife.� �Isabella comitissa de Fyfe� granted �wardam heredis quondam Johannis de Leuyngistoun� to �consanguineo nostro Alano de Erskyne domino de Inchemartyne� by charter dated 14 Jan 1366 (O.S.)[770].�

b) [DAVID de Inchmartin (-hanged after 4 Aug 1306).� A document dated 4 Aug 1306 records �Delivery of the gaol of Newcastle-on-Tyne of David de Inchemartyn..the K�s enemies taken in Scotland� for trial, the sentences passed on certain persons and that �the remainder of the prisoners [including presumably David], charged with killing the K�s lieges at the said battle under Robert de Brus, and taken on the field, were all condemned to be hanged�[771].� David was presumably not the son of John [I] de Inchmartin as he is not mentioned as another deceased brother in the [1314/20] charter of John [II] quoted above.� He could either have been the son or grandson of Alexander.]�

Their family name suggests that the following isolated entries to members of a �Stirling� family may refer to descendants of Henry de Stirling, although no proof has been found to indicate that this is correct.� No other information has yet been found relating to them.� A possible earlier member of this Stirling family was Alexander de Stirling, husband of [Marjory], daughter of Freskin [IV] of Cardell (see EARLS of SUTHERLAND, document SCOTLAND EARLS 1162-1398).�

1. JOHN de Stirling (-after Sep 1305).� �Sir John de Stirling knight� swore fealty [to the English king] 2 Jul 1296, sealed by �Je --- de Strivelyn, cheval.�[772].� �Walter dean of the cathedral church of Elgin in Moray� requested the English king �to restore the heritage of his cousin John de Stirling, a native of Berwick� dated [Sep 1303][773].� An �Ordinance by the [English] king for the settlement of Scotland� records a meeting on �the octaves of the Nativity of Our Lady [early Sep]� 1305 and the appointment of �Sir John de Stirling� as sheriff of Inverness[774].�

Chapter 4.�� KINGS of SCOTLAND (BALLIOL)

A.�� ORIGINS

According to the Complete Peerage, this family came from Bailleul-en-Vimeu in Picardie[782].� This is based on the charter dated to [1138] under which �Bernardus de Bajollio et uxor mea Mathildis et filii mei Ingerannus et Wido, Eustachius et Bernardus, et filia mea Atuidis� donated "the altars they held by inheritance�Domnopetro, Baiollio, Tours, Aerdicuria, Ramburellis, Allenai" [all in Picarie] to Cluny[783].� This origin is confirmed by a charter dated 1304 under which "Jehans rois d�Escoce et sires de Bailleul-en-Vimeu" sold property to the commune of Abbeville[784].�

Two brothers, parents not known.�

1. GUY de Balliol (-[1112/30]).� A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of �ecclesiam et�terr� in Stocalea et ecclesiam de Skaintuna et�ecclesiam de Gaynford� by �Wydo de Balliol�[785].� The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records "Hugo de Bailliol" holding "baroniam de Biwelle" in Northumberland which had been granted by King William II to "antecessores"[786]. �This could indicate a grant to Guy de Balliol, who was presumably contemporary to King William II, but this is not certain.� �Guido de Baill� donated property to the abbey of St Mary, York, for the souls of ��Dionisie uxoris mee et Bernardi de Ball nepotis mei�, by charter dated to [1112/22][787].� Leland records that King Henry I prohibited �Guido de Baileol in Dirhamshire� from hunting in the forests of Ranulph Bishop of Durham[788].� m DIONISIA, daughter of ---.� �Guido de Baill� donated property to the abbey of St Mary, York, for the souls of ��Dionisie uxoris mee et Bernardi de Ball nepotis mei�, by charter dated to [1112/22][789].� Guy & his wife had one child:�

a) daughter .� Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1149/52] under which �Rogerus Bertram� confirmed donations to the church of St Mary, York by �pater meus Willelmus et avus meus Wido de Balliolo�[790].� m WILLIAM Bertram, son of ---.� William & his wife had one child:�

2. �--- de Balliol (-[before [1112/22]).� His relationship with Guy de Balliol is confirmed by the charter dated to [1150] under which his son "B. de Balliolo" granted Gainford church and the chapel of Barnard�s Castle, Durham, inherited from "Wid de Balliol me avuncul", to York St Mary[792].� As the two named individuals share the same name "Balliol", it is assumed that "avunculus" in this document should be interpreted as meaning paternal uncle, instead of its strict meaning.� The possibility cannot be excluded entirely that Bernard was the son of Guy�s sister and that he adopted his uncle�s name as a condition of inheriting his estate.� However, if this was correct, it is difficult to understand why Guy would have preferred as his successor a more remote relation in the female line rather than his own daughter.� m ---.� The name of his wife is not known.� Four children:�

HUGH Balliol (Barnard Castle [1237/40]-[Palestine] before 10 Apr 1271).� A writ after the death of "John de Balliolo", dated "27 Oct 52 Hen III", and later inquisitions name "Sir Hugh de Balliolo his son, age variously stated as 28 or more, and 30 and more" as his heir[911].� A charter of David II King of Scotland dated 15 May 1359 confirmed a donation by "Dervorgilla daughter of the late Alan of Galloway, in her widowhood" for founding the abbey of St Mary of Sweetheart, for the souls of "�John Baliol the granter�s lord and late spouse, Hugh his son and hers, Cicilia her daughter", stating that the abbey was founded 10 Apr 1273[912].� He succeeded his father in 1268 as Lord of Bywell, co. Northumberland and Barnard's Castle, co. Durham.� A writ after the death of "Hugh de Balliolo", dated "10 Apr 55 Hen III", assigns her dower to "Agnes de Valentia, the king�s niece, late the wife of the said Hugh"[913].� Inquisitions after the death of "Hugh de Balliolo", dated "Sunday before St Gregory 56 Hen III", names "Alexander de Balliolo his brother" as his heir[914].� m (after 1268) as her second husband, AGNES de Valence Dame de Danfalize, widow of MAURICE Fitzgerald Baron of Offaly, daughter of GUILLAUME de Lusignan Seigneur de Valence, Lord of Pembroke & his wife Joan Munchensy of Swansbrooke (-1310).� An order dated 10 Apr 1275 relates to payments to "Agnes de Valence the K�s cousin" out of the estate of "Maurice Fitz Gerald her late husband"[915].� A writ after the death of "Hugh de Balliolo", dated "10 Apr 55 Hen III", assigns her dower to "Agnes de Valentia, the king�s niece, late the wife of the said Hugh"[916].� King Edward I confirmed the grant by "Agnes de Balliol to her son Ingeram de Balliol of her land at Foxton" for five years from 11 Jun 1275, by charter dated 5 May 1276[917].� She married thirdly Jean d'Avesnes Seigneur de Beaumont.� The Chronicle of Baudouin d�Avesnes records that "Ioannes", son of "domino Balduino de Avesnes domino de Bellomonte" and his wife, married "Agnete filia domini Guillelmi de Valentia fratris regis Angli� Henrici ex parte matris"[918].� An order dated 7 Oct 1277 relates to attorneys appointed by "John de Aveynes and Agnes his wife" relating to affairs in Ireland[919].�

2. ALAN Balliol (-[1271/78]).� Balfour Paul states that Alan is named only in the claim made by John Balliol as competitor for the crown of Scotland[920].� The document, reproduced by Vincent, records that �De Devorgulda descendit ius et debuit descendere Hugoni ut filio et heredi�, who died �sine herede de corpore suo�, that the claim descended to �Alano ut fratri et heredi� who also died �sine herede de corpore suo�, that the claim descended to �Alex�o fratri et herede� who died �sine herede de corpore suo� and from him to �Joh�i de Balliolo ut fratri et heredi�[921].�

3. ALEXANDER Balliol (-before 13 Nov 1278).� A charter dated Easter 1277 records a claim against "Alexander de Balliol brother and heir of Hugh de Balliol" for his brother�s debts[922].� He succeeded his brother in [1271] as Lord of Bywell, co. Northumberland and Barnard's Castle, co. Durham.� A writ after the death of "Alexander de Balliolo", dated "13 Nov 6 Edw I", and later inquisitions name "John de Ball[iolo] his brother aged 30 and more�his�heir"[923].� m as her first husband, ELEONORE, daughter of --- (-before 27 Sep 1310).� A charter dated 29 Nov 1278 records that the sheriff of Northumberland "is commanded to deliver to Alianora widow of Alexander de Balliol" land which she and her husband held "by gift of Alianora the queen mother"[924].� In the sources cited below, she is named variously �de Gebenun�, �de Gebenn� (Gen�ve?), and �de Semeur� (Semur?).� The reference to El�onore de Provence, Queen of England, granting her land suggests that she was yet another of the relative of the comtes de Savoie who were brought to England by the queen�s nephew Pierre de Savoie.� This speculation is supported by the charter dated 30 Dec 1278 under which King Edward I ordered that half of the proceeds from her husband�s estate be paid to "his cousin Alianora the widow�of Alexander de Balliol"[925].� The records of pleas taken before justices at Newcastle-upon-Tyne 20 Jan 1279 include the comment that "Alienora de Balliol is marriageable and her lands worth 100 marks yearly"[926].� She married secondly ([20 Jan 1279/29 Nov 1281]) as his second wife, Robert [V] Seigneur d�Estouteville.� An order dated 29 Nov 1281 granted �the manors of Kirkeby, co. Nottingham, and Dyham co. Essex� to �Robert de Stoteville and Eleanor de Gebenun his wife...�[927].� An order dated 22 Nov 1285 granted �the manor of Ekynton, co. Derby� to �Robert de Stuteville and Eleanor de Gebenn his wife...�[928].� An order dated 10 Jul 1293 �to supersede...the exaction for outlawry of Robert de Stutevill and Eleanor his wife...�, while an order dated 6 Dec 1293 superseded the order indefinitely[929].� Freytag von Loringhoven records a charter dated 1298 which names her �consanguinea� of Edward I King of England[930].� �Robert de Estouteville seigneur dou Bouchet et Alyennor de Semeure sa femme� agreed the rights of the priory of Lanc� �membre de Marmoutier� in �[le] bois de la Ronce en la paroisse de Perey� by charter dated 2 Apr 1304[931].� Inquisitions following a writ dated �27 Sep 4 Edw II�, after the death of �Eleanor late the wife of Robert de Stutevill�, record �John, the son of Robert and Eleanor aged 27 [26 and more] is next heir� and includes land at Mitford, Northumberland �the said Eleanor and Alexander de Balliol were thereof enfeoffed by the late Queen Eleanor�[932].�

4. JOHN Balliol ([1250]-in France [either Ch�teau Gaillard, Normandy or Bailleut-en-Gouffern, Normandy] [4 Mar 1314/4 Jan 1315], bur [Church of St Waast, Normandy]).� The Annales Londonienses name "Johan de Baillol" as son of "la secunde fille Aleyne, Devergoille"[933].� He succeeded his brother in [1278] as Lord of Bywell, co. Northumberland and Barnard's Castle, co. Durham.� He succeeded in 1292 as JOHN King of Scotland.�

5. CECILY Balliol (-[before 10 Apr 1273]).� A charter of David II King of Scotland dated 15 May 1359 confirmed a donation by "Dervorgilla daughter of the late Alan of Galloway, in her widowhood" for founding the abbey of St Mary of Sweetheart, for the souls of "�John Baliol the granter�s lord and late spouse, Hugh his son and hers, Cicilia her daughter", stating that the abbey was founded 10 Apr 1273[934].� This document suggests, but does not state explicitly, that Cecily was deceased at the time of her mother�s donation.� The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.�� The estimated birth date of her daughter Devorguilla suggests that Cecily was her parents� oldest daughter.� m JOHN de Burgh of Wakerley, Northamptonshire, son of JOHN de Burgh & his wife Hawise de Lanvalay (-before 3 Mar 1279).�

6. ADA Balliol (-after 27 Dec 1283).� A writ dated Thursday after Epiphany "56 Hen III", after the death of "Walter de Lyndesay", states that he died "on the day of the Commemoration of All Souls last" and names "William his son, aged 21 at the nativity of St John the Baptist last, is his heir, and five years ago at Whitsunday last contracted marriage with Ada daughter of John de Balliolo, with his father�s consent"[935].� A charter dated 27 Dec 1283 records the protection granted by King Edward I to "Ada widow of William de Lyndeseye about to set out for Scotland"[936].� m (15 May 1266) WILLIAM de Lindsay of Lamberton, son of WALTER de Lindsay Lord of Lamberton & his wife --- (1250-1283).�

7. ALIANORE [Mary/Marjory] Balliol .� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "Johannes de Balliolo�filiam�Marjoriam, sororem�Johannes regis" married "Johanni Comyn"[937].� Andrew Wyntoun�s Cronykil records that "Jhon Blak Cwmyn" married "Jhon the Ballyollis douchtyr�that he gat on Derworgyll"[938].� m JOHN Comyn "the Black" of Badenoch, son of JOHN Comyn Lord of Badenoch & his first wife Eva --- (-1302).

B.�� KINGS OF SCOTLAND 1292-1296, 1332/1336

JOHN Balliol, son of JOHN de Balliol of Barnard Castle, co Durham & his wife Devorguilla of Galloway ([1250]-in France [either Ch�teau Gaillard, Normandy or Bailleut-en-Gouffern, Normandy] [4 Mar 1314/4 Jan 1315], bur [Church of St Waast, Normandy]).� The Annales Londonienses name "Johan de Baillol" as son of "la secunde fille Aleyne, Devergoille"[939].� His birth date is estimated from a writ after the death of his mother "Lady Dervergulla de Balliolo", dated "4 Feb 18 Edw I", and later inquisitions which name "John de Balliolo her son, aged 40 at the feast of St Michael last�her�heir"[940].� He succeeded his brother in [1278] as Lord of Bywell, co. Northumberland and Barnard's Castle, co. Durham.� He was a claimant to the throne of Scotland in 1291, eleventh in order on the Great Roll of Scotland.� The special court appointed in Aug 1291 to select the new ruler found in favour of John Balliol in its final judgment 17 Nov 1292[941].� He was crowned 30 Nov 1292 as JOHN King of Scotland at Scone Abbey, Perthshire: John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the coronation 30 Nov 1292 "apud Sconam" of "Johannes de Balliolo" and that he swore homage to Edward I King of England "in sequenti festo Sancti Stephani apud Novum-castrum"[942].� He forfeited the Barony of Biwell in 1295[943].� In 1295, he was replaced as head of the Scottish government by the Council of Twelve, and 5 Apr 1296 King John formally renounced his homage to Edward I King of England[944].� King Edward marched into Scotland and King John submitted, abdicating his throne 10/11 Jul 1296 at Brechin.� He was kept a prisoner in England for about three years, then went to France.�

m (before 7 Feb 1279) ISABEL de Warenne, daughter of JOHN de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his [second wife ---] ([1265/69]-).� The Chronicle of Thomas Wykes records the marriage �infra octavus Purificationis� in 1279 of �Johannes de Balhol� and �adolescentulam Isabellam filiam comitis Warenn��[945].� The word �adolescentulam� suggests her birth in [1265/69].� If that is correct, it appears that Isabel must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded second marriage of her father.� This would also be more consistent with the date of death of her son Edward, who would have been extremely old if born soon after his parents� marriage.� A charter dated 27 Mar 1281 records a grant of property by "Dervergulla de Balliol" to "her son John de Balliol and the king�s cousin Isabella daughter of Earl Warrenne his wife"[946].�

King John & his wife had [two] children:

1. EDWARD Balliol (-[May 1363/Sep 1365]).� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) names "Eadwardo de Balliolo" as son of "Johannes de Balliolo�regis Scoti�" when recording his betrothal[947].� He was a prisoner in the Tower at his father's death[948].� He defeated David II King of Scotland in Aug 1332 at the battle of Dupplin Moor, near Perth.� He succeeded as EDWARD King of Scotland.� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "Eadwardus de Balliolo" was crowned king "VIII Kal Oct�apud Sconam" in 1332[949].� He was deposed in favour of David II 16 Dec 1332, and fled from Scotland: John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "Eadwardus de Balliolo" was defeated "XVII Kal Jan�in villa de Anand" in 1332 and fled[950].� He was restored in Mar 1333.� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that Berwick was besieged by Edward III King of England "pridie Id Apr" in 1333 and defeated the Scots "XIV Kal Aug" at "bellum de Halidona"[951].� He was deposed again in 1334 and fled to England.� Restored again in 1335, finally deposed in 1336.� He became Baron Balliol 1349/63.� He surrendered all claims to the Scottish throne 20 Jan 1356.� He lived at Wheatley, near Doncaster, on a pension from Edward III King of England[952].� Betrothed (contracts 5 Jul and 23 Oct 1295) to ISABELLE de Valois, daughter of CHARLES de France Comte de Valois & his first wife Marguerite of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] ([1292]-1309).� The Liber Pluscardensis records that "Edwardo de Balliolo�regis Scoci� filio" was betrothed to "nepte�regis Franci�", further identified in a later passage as "Karoli de Valoiz et Andegavensis comitis�filiam germani [sui]", dated to [1295] from the context[953].� The marriage contract between �Philippo...regi Francorum...nepte vestra seu consanguinei� and �Johannes...Scoti� rex...Edvardo filio nostro primogenito et h�rede� is dated 5 Jul 1295[954].� A second marriage contract between �Charles fiuz au roi de France, conte de Valeys, d�Alencon, de Chartres et de Aungeo...nostre esnee fille, niece...le roi de France� and �Johan...roi d�Ecosse...l�esne fiuz� is dated 23 Oct 1295[955].� [[956]m (divorced 1344) as her first husband, MARGUERITE of Sicily-Tarento, daughter of PHILIPPE of Sicily Principe di Tarento [Anjou-Capet] & his second wife Catherine de Valois titular Empress of Constantinople (-Naples in prison 1380, bur Naples San Domenico).� An anonymous 14th century poem about the descendants of Charles I King of Sicily names "Filipo imperadore�sorella�madona Margarita di Scocia" adding that she died "in quarantanni"[957].� She married [secondly] (1352) as his second wife, Francesco del Balzo Conte di Montescaglioso e Avellino.� Her first marriage is shown by Kerrebrouck, although the author cites no source[958].� According to the Complete Peerage[959], this marriage is erroneous, although it is not clear whether this means that the couple were betrothed but not married or that there was not even a betrothal.� She succeeded her brother in 1373 as titular empress of Constantinople.]�

2. [HENRY Balliol (-killed in battle Annan 16 Dec 1332).� Balfour Paul names Henry as the second son of John Balliol, without citing the primary source on which this information is based[960].� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.�� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "dominus Henricus de Balliolo" was among those killed when King Edward Balliol was defeated "XVII Kal Jan" in 1332 at Annan[961], but this source does not specify that he was the son of King John Balliol.]�

Chapter 5.�� KINGS of SCOTLAND (BRUCE)

A.�� ORIGINS

[Three possible] brothers, parents not known:�

1. ROBERT [I] de Brus (-11 May 1141, bur Gysburne/Gisborough Priory).� The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory records that �Robertus de Bruse�miles de Normannia� became �domini Castri de Skelton, Merkes, Uplythum, S. Westyby et Brudone, dominus de Danby, Levyngton et Parum, dominus de Kendall, et dominus Vallis Anandi��[962].� The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that �primus Brus de Carleton�Robertus de Brus� came to England with William �the Conqueror�[963], although this is not possible chronologically assuming that the text refers to Robert who died in 1141.� A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of land �in Apilton�et Hornby�Midelton� by �Robertus de Brus�[964].� Lord of Skelton.� "�Roberto de Brus�" witnessed the charter dated to [1120] under which "David comes filius Malcolmi Regis Scottorum" founded the abbey of Selkirk, listed first witness after the members of the royal family[965].� �Robertus de Brus� confirmed donations to the canons of Bridlington by charter dated to [1120/35], witnessed by ��Ernaldus de Perceio�Petrus de Brus��[966].� "Militum meorum Roberti de Brus�" witnessed the charter dated to [1123] under which "David comes" made grants to the church of Glasgow with the consent of "Matildis uxoris mea"[967].� "David�Rex Scottorum" granted Annandale to "Roberto de Brus" by charter dated to [1124][968].� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to St Mary�s, York by charter dated to [1125/35], witnessed by �Ada filio meo, Petro de Brus��[969].� The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Rob de Bruis" in Yorkshire, Northumberland (three times)[970].� �Robertus de Brus�Agnes uxor mea, filiusque noster Adam de Brus� donated property to Middlesburgh priory by undated charter[971].� �Robertus de Brus�et Agnes uxor mea et Adam filius noster� founded Gysburne/Gisborough Priory, Yorkshire by undated charter[972].� The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory records that �Robertus de Brus pater� died �1141 V Id Mai� and was buried �apud Gysburghe in Cleveland�[973].� The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the death �V Id Mai� of "Roberti de Brus fundator hujus domus"[974].� m [firstly] AGNES Paynell, daughter of FULK Paynell & his wife [Beatrix ---] (-18 Nov ----).� The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that �primus Brus de Carleton�Robertus de Brus� married �Agnetam filiam Fulconis Paynell� and received �manerium de Carleton� from his father-in-law[975].� �Robertus de Brus�Agnes uxor mea, filiusque noster Adam de Brus� donated property to Middlesburgh priory by undated charter[976].� �Robertus de Brus�et Agnes uxor mea et Adam filius noster� founded Gysburne/Gisborough Priory, Yorkshire by undated charter[977].� A charter of King Henry II, dated to [1176/86], confirmed donations to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough, among which a donation by �Agnetis uxoris Roberti de Brus�[978].� The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the death �XIV Kal Dec� of "Agnetis Brus uxoris fundatoris nostri"[979].� [m secondly AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1155).� The 1155 Pipe Roll records "Agnes de Bruis�p filio suo"[980].� This entry suggests that Agnes represented her son, who must have been a minor at the time, in relation to the property for which the return was made.� If that is correct, her son was presumably Robert [II] de Brus, who must have been considerably younger than his [half-]brother Adam [I], and so was probably born from a different wife.]� Robert de Brus & his [first] wife had one child:�

a) ADAM [I] de Brus (-[20 Mar] [1143], bur Gysburne/Gisborough Priory).� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to St Mary�s, York by charter dated to [1125/35], witnessed by �Ada filio meo, Petro de Brus��[981].�

-�� see below.�

Robert de Brus & his [first/second] wife had one child:�

b) AGATHA de Brus .� A charter dated to [1145/54] records the dowry granted by �Robertus de Brus� to �Agathe filie sue� on her marriage to �Radulfo Ribaldi filio�, witnessed by ��Petro de Brus, Ernaldo de Perci�Herveo Ribaldi filio��[982].� Although this charter is dated to after the death of Robert de Brus (died 1141), the chronology of the family of Agatha�s husband suggests that Agatha must have been his daughter and not the daughter of Robert [II] de Brus his son, the marriage having taken place many years before the charter.� m RALPH, son of RIBALD & his [first/second] wife [[Beatrix] Taillebois/Beatrix ---].�

Robert de Brus & his [second] wife had one child:�

c) ROBERT [II] de Brus ([1135/40]-[17 Feb, 26 Aug, or 4 Dec] after [1170/90]).� The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory names �Robertus de Bruse�miles de Normannia� and �Roberto de Bruse filio suo juniori�, adding that the latter was captured during the Anglo-Scottish wars[983].�

-�� see below.�

2. [WILLIAM de Brus (-1 Aug ----).� Priory of Gysburne/Gisborough.� The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the death "Kal Aug" of "Willmi Brus primi Prioris"[984].� Presumably William was installed as prior by Robert [I] de Brus who founded the priory and was presumably a close relation.� Dugdale names "William who occurs in 1131" (without specifying the primary source to which this date relates) first in his list of priors of Gysburne/Gisborough, without specifying that he was "de Brus".� If this date is correct, the chronology suggests that it is more likely that William was the brother, rather than the son, of Robert [I] de Brus.]�

3. [PETER [I] de Brus (-after [1155/65]).� �Robertus de Brus� confirmed donations to the canons of Bridlington by charter dated to [1120/35], witnessed by ��Ernaldus de Perceio�Petrus de Brus��[985].� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to St Mary�s, York by charter dated to [1125/35], witnessed by �Ada filio meo, Petro de Brus��[986].� Neither of these charters specifies the family relationship between the donor and Peter de Brus.� Domesday Descendants suggests that Peter was the son of Robert [I] de Brus[987].� However, the chronology indicates that it is more likely that the two were brothers.� �A. de Brus� donated property to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough, for the souls of �R. de Brus avi mei et A. patris mei�, by charter dated to [1155/65], witnessed by �Petro de Brus��[988].� [m firstly ---.� No evidence has been found of this supposed first marriage.� However, considering the likely age of Peter [I] de Brus, it is unlikely that his marriage to Agnes d�Aum�le was his first.� m [secondly] (after 1151) as her second husband, AGNES d'Aum�le, widow of WILLIAM de Roumare, daughter of ETIENNE de Blois Comte d'Aum�le & his wife Hawise de Mortimer.� A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that �Willielmus� had �sorores quatuor, filias Stephani� who married �una�vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera�vicedomino de Verberay, tertia�Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus�[989].� Secondary sources often indicate that Agnes�s husband was in fact Adam [I] de Brus.� This conclusion is based not only on the assumption that the manuscript history mistook "Petro" for "Adam", but also that it reversed the order of Agnes�s marriages: the birth date of Isabel, daughter of Adam [II] de Brus (son of Adam [I]), estimated to [1168/70] on the basis of her first marriage in [1180], suggests the likelihood that Adam [II] was born before 1143 (approximate date of Agnes�s marriage to William de Roumare) rather than after 1151 (date of death of William de Roumare).� As a general principle, it appears preferable to find ways of confirming that a primary source is factually correct rather than justifying why it is in error.� No other primary source has yet been identified which names Agnes as the wife of Adam, or as the mother of his children.� In addition, as noted above, Peter [I] de Brus was named in a charter dated to [1155/65].� It is therefore possible that the manuscript history is factually correct and that Agnes d�Aum�le married Peter as her second husband, presumably as his second wife considering his likely age by that time.� While waiting for other primary source information to emerge, this appears to be a safer interim conclusion compared with assuming that the manuscript history made two factual errors, relating to the name of Agnes�s Brus husband and to the order of her marriages.]�

The exact relationship between the following individuals and the main line of the Bruce family has not yet been determined:�

1. HUGH de Brus (-after [1170/90]).� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by �Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis�Hugone de Brus��[990].�

2. ADAM de Bruce (-after 1190).� The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Adam de Brus�Robertus de Brus" paying "vii l x s, xv milites" and "l s, v milites", respectively, in Yorkshire[991].�

ADAM [I] de Brus, son of ROBERT [I] de Brus & his wife Agnes Paynell (-[20 Mar] [1143], bur Gysburne/Gisborough Priory).� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to St Mary�s, York by charter dated to [1125/35], witnessed by �Ada filio meo, Petro de Brus��[992].� �Robertus de Brus�Agnes uxor mea, filiusque noster Adam de Brus� donated property to Middlesburgh priory by undated charter[993].� �Robertus de Brus�et Agnes uxor mea et Adam filius noster� founded Gysburne/Gisborough Priory, Yorkshire by undated charter[994].� He succeeded his father in 1141 as Lord of Skelton.� The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory records that �Adam de Bruse filius et h�res�Roberti patris sui� succeeded his father in 1141, died �1167 XIII Kal Apr�anno regni regis Henrici secundi�octavo� and was buried �apud Gysburghe�[995].� The year and the regnal year (indicating [1160/61]) in this passage are inconsistent.� Assuming that it is correct that Adam�s widow married William de Roumare as her second husband, as suggested below, both these years must be incorrect and Adam [I] must have died in [1142/43], although the primary source (if any) which confirms that this date is correct has not yet been identified.� This speculation all appears to be confirmed by the Chronicle of John Prior of Hexham which records the death of "Adam de Brus" in 1143[996].� It should be noted that the obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the death �XIII Kal Apr� of "Ad� de Brus Scdi"[997].� It is not known whether the obituary, or the manuscript history, reproduces the correct dates of death of Adam [I] and Adam [II].�

m ---.� The name of Adam�s wife is not known.� Secondary sources often indicate that she was Agnes d'Aum�le, widow of William de Roumare, daughter of Etienne de Blois Comte d'Aum�le & his wife Hawise de Mortimer.� A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that �Willielmus� had �sorores quatuor, filias Stephani� who married �una�vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera�vicedomino de Verberay, tertia�Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus�[998].� The assumption is made that the manuscript history not only mistook "Petro" for "Adam", but also that it reversed the order of Agnes�s marriages: the birth date of Isabel, daughter of Adam [II] de Brus (son of Adam [I]), estimated to [1168/70] on the basis of her first marriage in [1180], suggests the likelihood that Adam [II] was born before 1143 (approximate date of Agnes�s marriage to William de Roumare) rather than after 1151 (date of death of William de Roumare).� As a general principle, it appears preferable to find ways of confirming that a primary source is factually correct rather than justifying why it is in error.� No other primary source has yet been identified which names Agnes as the wife of Adam, or as the mother of his children.� In addition, as noted above, Peter [I] de Brus was named in a charter dated to [1155/65].� It is therefore possible that the manuscript history is factually correct and that Agnes d�Aum�le married Peter as her second husband, presumably as his second wife considering his likely age by that time.� While waiting for other primary source information to emerge, this appears to be a safer interim conclusion compared with assuming that the manuscript history made two factual errors, relating to the name of Agnes�s Brus husband and to the order of her marriages.� Another possibility is that the mother of Adam [II] de Brus was related to the Percy family, as suggested by the 1170/71 Pipe Roll which records "Ada de Brus" accounting for ".c. li. p hedibus Robt de Pci qs habuit I custod sua p habenda tra �rnaldi auunculi eorum" in Yorkshire[999].�

Adam [I] de Brus & his wife had two children:�

1. --- de Brus (-before 1167).� The existence of an older son who predeceased his father is confirmed by the manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory which records that �Adam de Bruse secundus filius et h�res Ad� patris sui� succeeded his father[1000].�

2.

1. LUCY .� Her family origin is indicated by the following document: a charter dated 1232, recording donations to the monks of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte residing at the priory of la Luthumi�re, states that �Guillaume du Hommet concessionnaire de la Luthumi�re� had married �Luce, h�riti�re des biens d�Adam de Bruys, son a�eul�[1046].� "Lucia de Humetis" donated revenue from land at Bradecroft, near Stamford to Southwick priory, Lincolnshire, for the souls of "domini mei Willelmi de Humetis et Ricardi filii mei", by charter dated to the late 12th century, witnessed by "Jordano de Humetis, Ricardo de Humetis, Baudewino Wac�Bartholomeo de Mortuo mari..:Willelmo de Sae, Henrico de Humetis fratre suo�"[1047].� �Lucia uxor domini Willielmi de Humet constabularii domini regis� donated "terra mea de Bradecrofd" to Stanford Nunnery, with the consent of "domini mei Willielmi et Ricardi filii mei", by undated charter witnessed by "Jordano de Humet, Ricardo de Humet, Willielmo de Sae, Henrico fratre suo�"[1048].� �Willelmus de Humeto domini regis constabularius� donated �totam terram meam in Lengronia� to Aulnay Sainte-Marie, with the consent of �filiorum meorum...Richardi de Humeto et Willelmi et Henrici et Jordani et Thom� et Enguerranni�, for the souls of �me�, patris et matris me� et Luci� uxoris me��, by charter dated 1190[1049].� It is unclear from the wording of this document whether Lucy was alive or deceased at the time.� m GUILLAUME [I] du Hommet Conn�table de Normandie, son of RICHARD [du Hommet] Conn�table de Normandie & his [first wife --- du Hommet] (-after 1213).�

The exact relationship between the following individual and the main line of the Bruce family has not yet been determined:�

1. WILLIAM de Brus (-after 12 Feb 1236).� "�Willelmo de Brus�" subscribed the charter dated 12 Feb 1236 under which Alexander II King of Scotland confirmed donations to Kinloss[1050].�

ROBERT [II] de Brus, son of ROBERT [I] de Brus & his [second] wife Agnes --- ([1135/40]-[17 Feb, 26 Aug, or 4 Dec] after [1170/90]).� The manuscript history of the founders of Gysburne/Gisborough Priory names �Robertus de Bruse�miles de Normannia� and �Roberto de Bruse filio suo juniori�, adding that the latter was captured during the Anglo-Scottish wars[1051].� The 1155 Pipe Roll records "Agnes de Bruis�p filio suo"[1052].� As noted above, this suggests that Agnes was acting for her son, who was a minor at the time, in relation to the property for which the return was made.� If this is correct, her son was presumably Robert [II] de Brus, who must have been considerably younger than his [half-]brother Adam [I], and so probably born from a different wife.� If this is correct, he had reached the age of majority by 1157 when he is named without his mother in the Pipe Roll (see below).� The manuscript history of the Bruce family of Carleton records that �primus Brus de Carleton�Robertus de Brus� granted �villam Anandi� de regno Scoti�et�postea Hert et Hertnesse� to �Robertus filius eius junior�[1053].� Lord of Annandale.� The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Rob de Brus" in Northumberland[1054].� �Robertus de Bruis et uxor mea Eufemia� donated property to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough by charter dated to [1160/75][1055].� The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Robertus de Brus v m" in Yorkshire in [1167/68][1056].� �Robertus de Brus� donated property to the monks of Durham by charter dated to [1170/90], witnessed by �Roberto, Willelmo et Bernardo filiis meis�Hugone de Brus��[1057].� The obituary of Gysburne/Gisborough priory records the deaths �XIII Kal Mar� of "Roberti Brus de Anant", "VII Kal Sep" of "Roberti Brus de Anande", and "II Non Dec" of "Roberti Brus de Anande"[1058].� Two of these three deaths presumably relate to Robert [II] and Robert [III] de Brus, as the same source separately records the deaths of Robert [I], Robert [IV] and Robert [V] de Brus (see above and below).� It is not known to whom the third death refers as no other record has been found of another Robert de Brus before Robert [VI], who was not buried at Gysburne/Gisborough.�

m EUPHEMIE, daughter of ---.� �Robertus de Brus� notified his donation to the hospital of St Peter, York by charter dated to [1150/70], witnessed by �domina Eufemia��[1059].� �Robertus de Bruis et uxor mea Eufemia� donated property to the canons of Gysburne/Gisborough by charter dated to [1160/75][1060].� Her origin is indicated by the charter dated to [1150/60] under which �W. comes Albemarle� granted property to �Eufemie nepti mee uxori Roberti de Brus�[1061].� Domesday Descendants speculates that she was the daughter of Guillaume�s brother Enguerrand[1062], although there seems no reason to choose one of his brothers over any of the others.� Another possibility is that she was the daughter of Guillaume�s sister Mathilde, whose husband Guermond de Picquigny is recorded with a sister named Euphemie.�

m ISABEL of Huntingdon, daughter of DAVID of Scotland Earl of Huntingdon & his wife Matilda of Cheshire (1206-1251, bur Sawtrey Abbey).� The Annales Londonienses name "Margaretam, Isabellam, Matildam, et Aldam" as the four daughters of "comiti David", recording the marriage of "la secounde fille Davi" and "sire Robert de Brus"[1084].� She was granted the manors of Writtle and Hatfield, Essex, 16 Oct 1241 in return for her share of the inheritance of her brother John Earl of Chester.� Balfour Paul records that Isabel and her husband were both buried �at Saltre Abbey, near Stilton� (no sources cited)[1085], which presumably refers to Sawtrey abbey where Isabel�s father was buried.� The source on which this information is based has not been found.�

[m firstly ---.� No direct evidence has been found of Walter�s supposed first marriage.� However, the charter of Eschina de Molle, Walter�s known wife, is subscribed by "Waltero filio Alani domino meo, Alano filio eius�", which suggests that Alan was not her son.� This impression is confirmed by the charter of Eschina dated to after 1198 which is witnessed by her two daughters but does not name Alan FitzWalter at all.� In addition, the charters quoted above show that Walter was already active in the service of the kings of Scotland in [1135/41].� He is therefore unlikely to have been born much later than 1110.� However, his wife Eschina remarried after his death in 1177, and appears in documentation in the last years of the 12th century, so is unlikely to have been as old as her husband.]�

m [secondly] as her first husband, ESCHINA de Lundon, daughter of --- de Lundon & his wife --- (-after 1198).� "Eschina uxor Walterii filii Alani dapiferi regis Scotie" donated "terra in Molla" to Paisley monastery, for the soul of "Margarete filie mee que apud Passetet in capitulo jacet sepulta", by undated charter, witnessed by "Waltero filio Alani domino meo, Alano filio eius�"[1184].� She married secondly (after 1177) Henry de Molle.� "Eschina de Londonis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Molle", for the souls of "dni mei Gauterii filii Alani et�filie mee que apud Kelcho sepulta est", by charter dated 30 Jan 1185[1185].� "Henricus de Molle et uxore eius Eschina" confirmed the donation of property "in territorio terre eo- de Molle iure ecclesie..." to Kelso monastery by undated charter, witnessed by �Robto Archiduc de Glasg...� [so dated to 1196 or after[1186]][1187].� "Dna Eschina de Lundoniis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Molle", for the souls of "dominorum meorum regis Willi et Alexi filii eius�et dominorum meorum dni Waltii fil Alani et dni Henr et�Eschine filie mee", by charter dated to after 1198, witnessed by "Dna Avicia filia mea, Dna Cecilia filia mea�"[1188].� "Cecilia de Molle filia Eschine de Molle�in mea viduitate" donated "toftum et croftum que fuerunt Willi de Mollehope�[et] in dominio meo de Molle" by charter dated to [1200/02], witnessed by "�magister Walterus de Mortuo Mari�decanus ecclesie Glasguensis�Johe nepote dni W. Glasg epi�"[1189]. �

Walter & his [first] wife had one child:�

1. ALAN FitzWalter (-1204, bur [Paisley]).� As discussed above under his father�s supposed first marriage, the documentation suggests that Alan was not the son of Walter�s wife Eschina.� "Walterus filius Alani dapifer regis Scotie�et Alanus filius meus" donated property to Paisley by undated charter[1190].� He succeeded his father as second High Steward of Scotland.� The seal of "Alain L. fi. Watir L. fi. Al. senescall re. Sco." is appended to a charter of Melrose dated to [1170][1191].� The Chronicle of Melrose records the death in 1204 of "Alan Fitz Walter"[1192].� According to Stuart, Alan was buried at Paisley but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[1193].� m ---.� The name of Alan�s wife is not known.� Balfour Paul says that Alan �is said said to have married Eva, daughter of Swan, son of Thor, Lord of Tippermuir and Tranent, but this seems to be founded on a mistaken reading by Duncan Stewart of a charter in the register of Scone�[1194].� Indeed the charter in question records that "Willelmus de Rotheuen" confirmed, with the consent of "domini Walteri filii mei", an earlier charter of "Walterus filius Alani bone memorie patris mei", which confirmed the donation of "Tubermure" made to Scone abbey by "Swan filius Thory auus meus"[1195], which clearly refers to the ancestors of the Ruthven family (see the document SCOTLAND UNTITLED NOBILITY).� Alan & his wife had one child:�

a) WALTER FitzAlan (-1241).� He succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.� "Walterus filii Alani domini regis Scotie senescallus" donated property to Paisley monastery by undated charter[1196].�

-�� see below.

Walter & his [second] wife had [two] children:�

2. [MARGARET (-bur Paisley).� It is not certain whether Margaret was born from her mother�s first or second marriage.� "Eschina uxor Walterii filii Alani dapiferi regis Scotie" donated "terra in Molla" to Paisley monastery, for the soul of "Margarete filie mee que apud Passetet in capitulo jacet sepulta", by undated charter, witnessed by "Waltero filio Alani domino meo, Alano filio eius�"[1197].�

3. [ESCHINA (-[before 30 Jan 1185?], bur Kelso).� It is not certain whether Eschina was born from her mother�s first or second marriage.� "Eschina de Londonis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Molle", for the souls of "dni mei Gauterii filii Alani et�filie mee que apud Kelcho sepulta est", by charter dated 30 Jan 1185[1198].� It is not certain that the unnamed daughter was Eschina, although the �after 1198� charter suggests that she was deceased at the time so could have been the same person as the deceased daughter named in 1185.� "Dna Eschina de Lundoniis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Molle", for the souls of "dominorum meorum regis Willi et Alexi filii eius�et dominorum meorum dni Waltii fil Alani et dni Henr et�Eschine filie mee", by charter dated to after 1198, witnessed by "Dna Avicia filia mea, Dna Cecilia filia mea�"[1199].� The daughter �Cecilia� is presumably the same person as named as a widow in the [1200/02] charter cited above.�

WALTER FitzAlan, son of ALAN FitzWalter High Steward of Scotland & his wife --- (-1241).� He succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.� "Walterus filii Alani domini regis Scotie senescallus" donated property to Paisley monastery by undated charter[1200].� The seal of "Walteri filii Alani" is appended to a charter under which "Walter son of Alan the Stuart" confirmed the donation of land at Edmonstone to Melrose by "Walter the son of Alan his grandfather"[1201].� Alexander II King of Scotland confirmed the donation of land "in Tibermur" made by "Walterus filius Alani", in confirmation of a donation by "Suanus filius Thori avus eiusdem Walteri", by undated charter[1202].� "Walterus filius Alani" confirmed the donation of "Tubermure" made to Scone abbey by "Swan filius Thory auus meus" by undated charter, dated to before 1221, witnessed by "Gilbto comite de Stathern d�o Robto filio ei, Rogero de Mortimer, Galfrido de Inutunglas vic de Pth, Dunecano fil Moregrund, Reginaldo de Warenn, Walto filio Swani, Henr fil Alani fil Wani�"[1203].� He adopted the name Stewart.� The Melrose Chronicle records the death in 1241 of "Walterus filius Alani junioris"[1204].�

m ---.� The name of Walter�s wife is not known.� Balfour Paul says that Walter �is said by Duncan Stewart to have married Beatrix, daughter of Gilchrist Earl of Angus, but no proof has been found of this�[1205].�

Walter Stewart & his wife had [seven] children:

1. ALEXANDER Stewart (-1283).� The Liber Pluscardensis names "dominus Alexander Stevart de Dundonald, pronepos primi Walteri Stewart"[1206].� He succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.��

-�� see below.�

2. JOHN Stewart (-killed in battle Damietta, Egypt 1249).� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 records that "Johannes Stuart primogenitus Walt" was killed "apud Massour", adding that "Gualto patre et Patricio Marchie comite" fought under "Lodovico Francor� Rege"[1207].� �Primogenitus� was presumably an error: it is unlikely that John was the oldest son of Walter as no record has been found of his having been appointed High Steward after his father�s death.�

3. WALTER Stewart "Bailloch/Freckled" (-before 28 Apr 1295).� "Dominis Waltero fratre nostro�" subscribed the undated charter under which "Alexander filius Walteri senescalus regis Scotie" donated "ecclesiam de Dundonald�de Sanchar�de Awchinlac" to Paisley monastery[1208].� Earl of Menteith [1260].�

-�� EARLS of MENTEITH.�

4. [ROBERT Stewart .� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 names "Robertus Stuart iunior filius Gualteri" adding that his father granted him "agro de Tourbourton" and that he married "heredem --- Roberti Crux de Cruxton" from whom descended "Barones de Derule et tandem etiam comites a Lennex", naming their son "Johannes de Stuart de Dernle" and his son "Robertus Styward de Dernle" (adding that the latter was a hostage in England for "Rege David Brus" in 1357)[1209].� Robert is included in square brackets until another source confirms this information.� m --- Crux, daughter of ROBERT Crux of Cruxton & his wife ---.� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 records that "Robertus Stuart iunior filius Gualteri" married "heredem --- Roberti Crux de Cruxton" from whom descended "Barones de Derule et tandem etiam comites a Lennex"[1210].]�

5. ELIZABETH Stewart (-before her husband).� "Maldovenus comes de Levenax" donated "terram de Drumthocher et�de Drumthecglunan" to Paisley monastery, for the soul of "Elizabeth sponse mee", by undated charter, witnessed by "Macolmo filio meo, Amelec, Macolmo, Duncano fratribus meis�"[1211].� m MALDOUEN of Lennox, son of ALWYN Earl of Lennox & his wife Eve of Menteith (-after 12 Mar 1251).� He succeeded his father in [1224] as Earl of Lennox.�

6. [MARGARET Stewart .� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.�� m NEIL Earl of Carrick, son of DUNCAN Earl of Carrick & his wife --- (-1256).]

7. daughter .� Balfour Paul states that Donald married "a daughter of Walter High Steward of Scotland" (no source cited)[1212].� m DONALD Lord of the Isles, son of REGINALD Lord of the Isles & his wife --- (-Island of Kerrara 1249, bur Iona).

ALEXANDER Stewart, son of WALTER FitzAlan High Steward of Scotland & his wife --- (-1283).� The Liber Pluscardensis names "dominus Alexander Stevart de Dundonald, pronepos primi Walteri Stewart"[1213].� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 names "Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie"[1214].� He succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.� "Alexander filius Walteri Scotie senescallus" donated flour from "firma mea de Inchynnan" to Paisley monastery by charter dated Jan 1286 (presumably misdated)[1215].� The seal of "Alexandri filii Walterii senescalli regis Scotie" is appended to a charter under which "Alexander Stuart" donated lands at Machline and Carentabel to Melrose by charter dated to [1226] (presumably misdated)[1216].� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death in 1281 of "Alexander senescallus Scoti�, avus�Walteri generi domini Roberti Bruce regis"[1217].�

m JEAN, daughter of ---.� Balfour Paul names Jean of Bute heiress of the Isles of Bute and Arran, daughter of James Lord of Bute and Arran & his wife ---, and records her marriage to Alexander Stewart (no primary source cited)[1218].� Andrew McEwen suggests that there is no evidence to indicate that the wife of Alexander Stewart was the daughter of James Lord of Bute[1219].� He adds that what evidence there is "suggests a double marriage alliance�about 1240 between Sir Walter fitz Alan II and Richard Comyn by which the Steward�s son and heir Alexander married Comyn�s daughter Joanna, while Comyn�s son and heir John married Sir Walter�s daughter Eva", but he does not cite the nature of the evidence in question[1220].�

Alexander Stewart & his wife had [six] children:

1. [JAMES Stewart (-young).� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 names "Jacobus Styward adhuc puer morte preceptus est" as eldest son of "Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie"[1221].� No earlier reference to James has been found.]�

2. JAMES Stewart ([1243]-16 Jul 1309).� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 names "Johannes Steward" as second son of "Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie", adding that he was killed in battle "ad variu� Sacella"[1222].� The reference to �Johannes� instead of �Jacobus� is presumably an error in the Visitation.� Adrian Grant has highlighted that this entry could more appropriately refer Sir John Stewart of Bonkyll who was killed at Falkirk, indicating a more serious error in the Visitation[1223].� James succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.� He was appointed one of the six guardians of the kingdom on the death of King Alexander III in 1286[1224].� King Edward I confirmed the grant of "castro de Roo" made by "Ricardus de Burgo comes Ultoni� et dominus Connactensis" to "Jacobo Senescallo Scoti� et Egidi� sorori ipsius comitis" by charter dated 10 Oct 1296[1225].� John of Fordun�s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death "XVII Kal Aug" in 1309 of "dominus Jacobus senescallus Scotie, pater�Walteri, generi regis Roberti Bruce"[1226].� [m firstly CECILIA de Dunbar, daughter of PATRICK Earl of Dunbar & his wife Cecilia ---.� Symson records that James Stewart married "Cecilia daughter to Patrick Earl of Dunbar�the first of that family who quitted that title and assumed that of March", adding that Cecilia was the mother of James�s children. without citing the corresponding primary source[1227].� Andrew McEwen indicates that "no documentary evidence has been found" to support this statement, but adds that "though hardly free from error, Symson�s work is always deserving of respect", and highlights that "it is highly unlikely that Muriel of Strathearn, whom he married in 1278, was James�s first wife"[1228].]� [m secondly (before Jan 1279, [divorced before 1291]) as her second husband, MURIEL of Strathearn, widow of WILLIAM Earl of Mar, daughter of MALISE Earl of Strathearn & his first wife Marjory de Muschamp of Wooler ([1244]-[16 May/12 Nov] 1291).� The evidence for this possible second marriage is indicated by an assize roll dated "7 Edw I" [Nov 1278/Nov 1279] which records a claim relating to the barony of Muschamp brought by "Jacobus filius Alexandri et Muriella uxor eius" and "Maria uxor Nicholai de Grame", both represented by "Stephanum de Muschaump vel Thomam de Hagarston", against "Thomam de Rok"[1229].� Pleas taken at Newcastle 20 Jan 1279 (N.S.) include a jury finding that "the heirs of Muschampe hold their barony by service of four knights, and making suit to the county of Newcastle"[1230].� Andrew MacEwen indicates that "Muriella�Maria" were the two daughters of Malise Earl of Strathearn by his first wife Marjory de Muschamp, and identifies "Jacobus filius Alexandri", the husband of Muriel, as James Stewart the future High Steward of Scotland, although he cites no primary source which confirms that the latter identification is correct[1231].� The absence of any reference to Muriel�s husband "James" in the document dated 16 May 1291, which records the homage sworn to King Edward by "Muriell� qu� fuit uxor Willelmi quondam comitis de Mar, fili� et heredis Margeri� fili� Roberti de Muschaumps defunct�" for the lands of "Margeria mater sua"[1232], suggests that her second marriage to "James" must have terminated before that date by divorce or annulment.]� m [thirdly] EGIDIA de Burgh, daughter of WALTER de Burgh Earl of Ulster & his wife Aveline FitzJohn ([1260/70]-).� King Edward I confirmed the grant of "castro de Roo" made by "Ricardus de Burgo comes Ultoni� et dominus Connactensis" to "Jacobo Senescallo Scoti� et Egidi� sorori ipsius comitis" by charter dated 10 Oct 1296[1233].� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 records that "Johannes Steward", second son of "Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie", married "heredem de Bouthill"[1234].� According to Burke, James Stewart married "Cecilia, daughter of Patrick de Dunbar 7th Earl of Dunbar & March" by whom he fathered Walter Stewart[1235].� James Stewart & his [third] wife had [five] children:

a) ANDREW Stewart ([after 1290]-[25 Aug 1306/16 Jul 1309]).� The fact that Andrew was his father�s oldest [surviving] son is confirmed by a notarial confirmation dated 9 Aug 1306 which attested the verity of various documents, including one indicating that William Bishop of St Andrews had delivered "Andrew son and heir of Sir James the Steward of Scotland" to Robert de Brus[1236].� Malise Earl of Strathearn and John de Inchmartyn were ordered to produce "Andrew son of the Steward of Scotland and John son of John Earl of Athol" by charter dated 25 Aug 1306[1237].� These two documents presumably indicate that Andrew was still a minor in 1306, which confirms that he must have been from his father�s marriage to Egidia de Burgh.� Presumably he predeceased his father.�

b) WALTER Stewart ([1292]-9 Apr [1326/29]).� The Liber Pluscardensis names "dominus Alexander Stevart de Dundonald, pronepos primi Walteri Stewart" as "proavus�nobilis Walteri Stevart qui filiam Roberti de Broys desponsavit"[1238].� He succeeded his father as High Steward of Scotland.��

-�� see below.�

c) EGIDIA Stewart .� Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter under which "Alexandro de Meyners militi et Egidie Senescalli sponse sue" renounced "totam baroniam de Dorsidere" {Durrisdeir} in favour of her brother James, dated to [1315/21][1239].� m ALEXANDER de Meyners, son of ---.� Balfour Paul says that he was ancestor of the Menzies family[1240].�

d) [JOHN Stewart (-killed in battle Dundalk 1318).� "�Johe Senescallo�" witnessed a charter dated 9 Jul 1316 under which "Thomas Ranulphi comes Morauie et dns Mannie" confirmed a donation to Newbattle abbey[1241].� Andrew McEwen states that "if there was such a son [John], he must have been illegitimate", but he does not explain his reasoning for this statement[1242].� Balfour Paul records his death "at the battle of Dundalk with Edward Bruce� in 1318" (no source cited)[1243].]�

e) JAMES Stewart of Durisdeer (-after Nov 1330).� "�Domino Malcolmo Flemyng, domino Jacobo senescallo fratre quondam domini Walteri quondam senescalli Scotie, domino Alano Senescallo�" subscribed the charter dated Nov 1330 under which "Malcolmus comes de Levenax" donated "ecclesiam de Kylpatrick" to Paisley monastery[1244].� Balfour Paul says that he died childless (no source cited)[1245].�

3. [ELIZABETH] Stewart (-before 1288).� Andrew Stuart names Elizabeth as daughter of Alexander Stewart and records her marriage to �William Lord Douglas, Knight, surnamed the Hardy�, citing in a later passage John Barbour�s 1370 Life of King Robert Bruce which recounts that James Douglas (William [III]�s son) captured Alexander Stewart of Bonkyll (dated to 1308), noting that �the good Lord of Douglas to Sir Alexander made, that was his esme�s [=uncle�s] son right gladsome chear�[1246].� The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified.� Balfour Paul records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[1247].� The marriage is also suggested elsewhere by Barbour�s The Brus which records that "Walter Steward" and "Douglas" were "cosynis in ner degre"[1248].� m as his first wife, WILLIAM [III] Douglas "the Hardy" of that Ilk, son of WILLIAM [II] Douglas of Douglas & his [second?] wife Constance --- (-London in prison 1298).�

4. [ANDREW Stewart (-after 1350).� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 records "Andreas Stuard iunior filius" (of Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie), adding that he was decorated with a military swordbelt by "Johanne Francor� Rege" and naming "Alexander Styward unicus filius Andree" who was awarded military honours by "Carolus rex Francor" (together with eight generations of Alexander�s alleged descendants in East Anglia)[1249].� The chronology of this entry is extremely shaky and it is unlikely that Andrew was the son of Alexander.� m --- Beith, daughter of JAMES Beith & his wife ---.� The Visitation of Cambridge 1575 records the marriage of "Andreas Stuard iunior filius" (of Alexander Stuart� secundo genitus Gualt, Senescalli Scotie) and "filiam Jacobi Bethe", adding that he was decorated with a military swordbelt by "Johanne Francor� Rege" and naming "Alexander Styward unicus filius Andree" who was awarded military honours by "Carolus rex Francor" (together with eight generations of Alexander�s alleged descendants in East Anglia)[1250].� The chronology of this entry is extremely shaky and it is unlikely that Andrew was the son of Alexander.]�

5. JOHN Stewart [of Jedworth] (-killed in battle Falkirk 1298).� A charter dated early Jan 1294 records "James the Stewart of Scotland" confirming donations to Paisley, witnessed by "Johannis Seneschalli frater meus"[1251].� A charter dated 15 May 1296 records the submission of "Johan le Seneschal frere Mons James Seneschal d Escoce" to Edward I King of England[1252].� The �Ragman Roll� dated 28 Aug 1296 records �...John le Seneschal of Jeddeworthe...Johan le Seneschal knight...� swearing fealty to King Edward I at Berwick-on-Tweed[1253]. �"John Senescal brother to James Senescal of Scotland" donated "two pound of wax at the fairs of Roxburgh�, for the health of �Margaret his wife and his children�, by charter dated 25 Dec 1296, witnessed by �James Senescal of Scotland, brother to the Granter..."[1254].� Bain suggests that all these previous entries refer to John Stewart, brother of James Stewart[1255].� Balfour Paul records his death "at the battle of Falkirk" (no source cited)[1256].� Andrew Stuart indicates that the dates of the documents cited below under his wife indicate that his father-in-law survived John Stewart and therefore that �it is highly probable that the estate of Bonkyl never actually belonged to [him]�[1257].� m ([1279/84?]) as her first husband, MARGARET de Bonkyl, daughter and heiress of� ALEXANDER de Bonkyl & his wife Christiane[1258] --- (-[7 Jul 1304/20 Jul 1305]).� Balfour Paul records her first marriage but not her second (no source cited)[1259].� Her marriage date is estimated from the likely birth date of her oldest son, shown below.� "John Senescal brother to James Senescal of Scotland" donated "two pound of wax at the fairs of Roxburgh�, for the health of �Margaret his wife and his children�, by charter dated 25 Dec 1296[1260].� Inquisitions held 20 Jul 1305, following the death of "Sir Robert de Depyng, the rector of the parish of Ulndale...Cumberland", record that "Sir Alexander de Bonkyl last presented the said Robert to the said church�, that �the said Alexander had a daughter Margaret, who is now lately dead, and that in her father�s lifetime she was married to Sir John, brother of the Stewart of Scotland�, and also that �Sir David de Brighyn...did marry the said Margaret...and had children by her�, confirmed by �a transcript of the Bull of the late Pope Benedict...[who] notwithstanding [their] affinity and consanguinity dispensed [their marriage]�[1261].� Her parentage is also confirmed by Inquisitions held [late Apr/early May] 1300, following the death of "Sir Alexander de Bonkyl", confirming that "the manor of Ulnedale...was taken into the hands of...the King...on account of a certain Margaret, daughter and heir of the said Alexander, because that she resided in Scotland with the enemies of our sovereign lord�[1262].� She married secondly (Papal dispensation [22 Oct 1303/7 Jul 1304]) as his first wife, David de Brechin.� Her second marriage, and the date (during the papacy of Poe Benedict XI), are confirmed by the 20 Jul 1305 Inquisitions cited above.� King Edward I restored "the English lands of Alexander de Bonkyl, father of Margaret, whose heir she is" to �David de Bregyn and Margaret his wife, Scottish rebels, [who have] done homage and fealty� by charter dated 7 Jul 1304[1263].� John & his wife had six children:�

a) ALEXANDER Stewart of Bonkyl ([1280/85?]-[1315/19]).� His date of birth is estimated very approximately from the likely date of birth of his son.� Barbour�s Life of King Robert Bruce records that "of Bonkyl the Lord...Alexander Stewart...[and] Thomas Randall...and Adam also of Gordoun� were taken prisoner by �the good Lord of Douglas [James Lord of Douglas]�, dated by Andrew Stuart to 1308[1264].� His parentage is confirmed by Inquisitions held at Ulndale 1315 which record that "Alexander le Seneschall [had been] seised of a fee of a certain manor of Ulndale"[1265], read with the two sets of Inquisitions cited above under his mother.� The following document indicates his date of death: King Edward II granted "the manor of Ulndale...which belonged to the deceased Alexander Stewart, a Scotsman, enemy and rebel of the King of England...the said manor...had become escheated to his Majesty� to �Bartholomew de Badlesmere�, dated 1319[1266].� m ---.� The name of� Alexander's wife is not known.� Alexander & his wife had one child: �

i) JOHN Stewart of Bonkyl ([1305/10?]-9 Dec 1331).� His parentage is indicated by the 24 Oct 1328 Papal dispensation for his marriage in which he is named "Johanni Stwyarde domino de Bonkyl"[1267].� He is assumed therefore to have succeeded his father at Bonkyl, co. Berwick.� His birth date has been estimated to [1305/10?] bearing in mind the chronology of his ancestors and his own marriage date.� He was created Earl of Angus [24 Oct 1328/15 Jun 1329].�

-�� EARLS of ANGUS.�

b) ALAN Stewart of Dreghorn (-killed in battle Halidon Hill 19 Jul 1333).� The Liber Pluscardensis names "Jacobus, Johannes et Alanus Stewart, filii nobilis Valteri Stewart et fratres Roberti postea regis" among those killed in battle at Halidon Hill in 1333[1268].� It is not chronologically possible for these three brothers to have been younger half-brothers of the future King Robert II if they were old enough to have fought in 1333.� Andrew Stuart discusses all the chronicles which make the same mistake and how it was later corrected[1269].�

-�� see below Part C. STEWART of DARNLEY.�

c) WALTER Stewart of Garlies and Dalswinton (-after 1333).� Stuart records his parentage, noting that King Robert I granted him �the barony of Dalswinton� and John Ranulph Earl of Moray �the barony of Garlies�, adding �from whom the Earl of Galloway by an heiress�[1270].� [His nephew] John Randolph Earl of Moray granted �the lands of Garlies, Glenmanack, Corsocke and Kirkornock in the shire of Dumfries� to �Walter Stewart knight...avunculus noster...father to John Stewart of Dalswinton�, undated but presumably dated to after 1333[1271].� m ---.� The name of Walter's wife is not known.� Walter & his wife had one child:

King Robert II & his [first/second wife] [or & his unknown mistress] had one [illegitimate?] child:

10. [--- [Katherine?] (-after 1395).� The existence of this supposed daughter is tenuous.� Duncan Stewart (in 1739) cited a charter of King Robert III dated 1395 which names �Roberto Logane, militi, fratri nostro�, and concluded that his wife (unnamed) was a daughter of King Robert II (no source citation)[1404].� Accounts dated 1434 record payments made to �domine Katerine Logane�[1405], Burnett suggesting that this person �may perhaps be supposed to be the lady in question�.� However, Burnett also suggests a different possibility: that �the marriage may...have been a conjectural way of accounting for a grant which occurs in the Privy Seal Record of James IV, of date 29th December 1537, of a pension...to Janet Logan, widow of John Wallace of Cragy, in consideration of her being �of our kin and blude� and having been �dotit substantiouslie� by James III�, highlighting �a manuscript pedigree of the Stewart family, written at a time when the matter was comparatively recent� which states that King James III had an illegitimate daughter married to �Logan of Restalrig, whose daughter the annuitant may supposed to have been�[1406].� Burnett�s suggestion concerning the daughter of James III is appealing, although it still does not really explain the 1395 charter if that was a genuine document.� As is evident from this discussion, until further evidence emerges no definite conclusion can be reached about this possible daughter.� The available information is also inadequate to suggest the identity of her mother, although if �domine Katerine Logane� in the 1434 document is later corroborated as Robert Logan�s wife, the date suggests that King Robert�s first wife is unlikely to have been her mother.� A different possibility is that Robert Logan�s wife was illegitimate.� m ROBERT Logan of Rastalrig, son of ---.]�
