ROSS, Marjorie 1
User ID: V562. Marjorie married Malise (V) 8th Earl of Strathearn, 19th Earl of Orkney and Caithness, son of Malise (IV) 7th Earl of Strathearn and Unknown, probably by about 1328.1 (Malise (V) 8th Earl of Strathearn, 19th Earl of Orkney and Caithness was born about 1305 and died before 1357 1.) Marriage Notes: "Earl Malise is said to have married twice, his first wife being alleged to be a daughter of the Earl of Menteith. But no evidence has been found on the subject, and his only recorded wife was Marjorie Ross, daughter of Hugh, fifth Earl of Ross, and sister of William, sixth Earl. The marriage may have taken place between 1325 and 1328, the probable date of a charter to Mar[jorie] or Maria of Strathearn, wife of Malise of Strathearn, of the lands of Kinkell, Brechin." |
