KEITH, Elizabeth 2
Another name for Elizabeth was DE KETH, Elizabeth.1 User ID: Z305. Elizabeth married Sir Alexander IRWYNE 4th of Drum, son of Sir Alexander DE IRWYNE 3rd of Drum and Daughter DE MONTEFORD, on 16 October 1411.1 (Sir Alexander IRWYNE 4th of Drum was born about 1385.) Marriage Notes: "This Alexander Irwyne succeeded his father, who was killed at Harlaw on the 24th July, 1411; and on the 16th October of that year his marriage-contract was completed with Elizabeth de Keth, daughter of Sir Robert de Keth, Marischal of Scotland, who grants as tocher-gude with the lady the lands of the barony of Strathekyn in the county of Kincardine. This contract is in duplicate, but although dated at the same place, on the same day, and authenticated by tbe same witnesses, there is this remarkable difference between the two copies, that, whereas in one the lands given in dower with Elizabeth de Keth are to be held by Alexander de Irwyn, Lord of Drum, and his descendants, for homage and fealty to the Keiths Marischal, in the other all reference to homage and fealty is omitted, and the gift purports to be for the marriage then contracted and for the feud that had existed between the families." |
