   User ID: Y911.

Margaret married Sir James FRASER, son of Sir Andrew FRASER Sheriff of Stirling and Possible Daughter LE CHEN, about 1322.^{1 2} (Sir James FRASER was born about 1290 and died on 19 July 1333 in Battle of Halidon Hill, Berwick on Tweed, England ^{1 2 3}.)

  Marriage Notes:

"James Fraser, youngest brother of Sir Alexander Fraser ... married the daughter and heiress of Sir John Stewart of Frendraught, who had supplanted the ancient family of Frendraught in that estate about the beginning of the fourteenth century, and whose wife may have been the heiress of that family.... Some former connection by marriage must have existed between the Frasers and the Stewarts, though its nature is not traceable, as a dispensation had to be obtained in 1322 from Pope John XXII., for the marriage of James Fraser and Margaret Stewart of Frendraught, who were related within the prohibited degrees."
