DUNBAR, Thomas 2nd Earl of Moray 1 2User ID: Z197. General Notes: "Thomas Dunbar, second Earl of Moray, succeeded his father some time between 13 June 1391 and 15 February 1391-92, at which date he, as Earl of Moray, son and heir of the late John, Earl of Moray, and his mother, the Countess Marjorie, granted to Gilbert of Glencairnie the lands of the two Fochabers in exchange for Glencairnie. Some years later, on 26 March 1398, the Earl bought the two Fochabers from Gilbert." Thomas married Margaret by 15 February 1391(1392).1 (Margaret was born about 1377.) Marriage Notes: "This Earl Thomas married a lady named Margaret, who is named as his wife in the charter of 15 February 1391-92, already cited. What family she was of has not been clearly ascertained. It is not improbable that she was the Margaret, Countess of Moray, who, between 1429 and 1431, received a payment of £50 from the King, and who married Sir John Ogilvy of Lintrathen and Airlie (see that title), drawing her terce from the earldom of Moray until about 1471, when she died." |
