PARTNER, Unknown

  • Born: About 1320
  • Marriage (1): DE LESLIE, Norman, Sir

   User ID: A340.


Unknown married Sir Norman DE LESLIE, son of Sir Andrew DE LESLIE 6th of that Ilk and Mary ABERNETHY co-heiress. (Sir Norman DE LESLIE was born about 1316 and died before 11 February 1366 1.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Sir George Leslie was brought in as heir of entail to the barony of Ballinbreich and others, in case of the failure of the heirs-male of Sir Andrew de Leslie, VIII. Dominus Ejusdem, and of his son Norman. But what was the exact degree of relationship between Sir Andrew de Leslie, VIII. Dominus Ejusdem, and Sir George Leslie of Rothes, or who was Sir George's father, has not been discovered."

from Family of Leslie (vol 2)

Note:
This scenario presented here is speculative, but based primarily on the recorded 'cousin' relationship to David Leslie, 9th of that Ilk and to Davi's father, Norman.
Had George Leslie been illegitimate it is unlikely he would have been included in the entail, since Sir Norman de Leslie, presented here as his father, also had a two younger brothers Walter and George, whose descendants would surely have taken precedence.
An unknown mother, first wife of his father, might also account for George Leslie's status as 'Dominus de Rothes'.
