SUTHERLAND, Alexander of Dunbeath ^{1 2 3}

   User ID: Y724.

Alexander married Mariota MACDONALD, daughter of Donald MACDONALD Lord of the Isles, 'Earl of Ross' and Mary LESLIE 'Countess, 9th of Ross', about 1439.¹ (Mariota MACDONALD was born about 1402.)

  Marriage Notes:

"He (Archibald/Celestin Campbell) probably did marry Mariota of the Isles, daughter of Sir Donald, Lord of the Isles and Ross, as, on 13 February 1419-20, the Pope granted a dispensation for their union, as though they were betrothed they could not marry without his permission (Cal. Papal Letters, vii. 151). She is probably the Mariota of the Isles, who about 1439 married Alexander Sutherland of Dunbeath (The Thanes of Cawdor, 16)."
