Marriage Notes:
"About the year 1406 he (Sir Patrick Graham) married his second cousin Euphemia, Countess Palatine of Strathearn, daughter and heiress of David Stewart, Earl of Strathearn, son of Robert II., and Euphemia Ross, and became in her right Earl of Strathearn. From their son Malise were descended the Earls of Menteith."
from Scots Peerage (vol 6)
Note: "About the year 1406" raises some difficulty in dating. "By 1406" might be more accurate. See Research Notes on Elizabeth Graham (V480).
"She was married to Patrick Graham, son of Sir Patrick Graham of Dundaff. He appears to have taken the designation of Earl of Strathearn, as appears from a charter cited by Lord Strathallan in his history of the Drummonds, and others in the Register of the Great Seal. He was killed on St. Laurence Day, 10 August 1413, near Crieff, by Sir John Drummond of Concraig, Stewart of Strathearn, in an encounter between them arising out of the Earl's dissatisfaction with Sir John's official duties.''
