  Marriage Notes:

"5. Elizabeth (daughter of David Lindsay), said to have been married to Sir Robert Keith, Marischal of Scotland, but probably to Robert (Erskine), Earl of Mar." (see Note below)

from Scots Peerage (vol.3)



"Lord Erskine is usually said to have married a daughter of Robert Stewart of Lorn and Innermeath, but there is good reason to believe that he married the daughter of David, Earl of Crawford, referred to (her name not being given, but it was probably Elizabeth) in an agreement between that nobleman and Sir Thomas Erskine, dated at Brechin 20 December 1400. By that writ it was arranged that Sir Robert Erskine should marry a daughter of the Earl, who obliged himself to aid Sir Thomas and his wife Janet to recover possession of the lands of Mar and Garioch belonging to her."

from Scots Peerage (vol 5)

Note:

Acccording to Scots Peerage, volume six, Elizabeth was the wife of Sir William Douglas. There is some doubt about the given names of the Lindsay daughters and their respective spouses. This may have been confused by the fact that mother of Robert Erskine's spouse was named Elizabeth. See the Research Notes for Christian Lindsay ID M915, which offers an explanation for the confusion and a possible resolution of it. ^{1 2 3 4}
