Research Notes: 'SOME PROPOSED CORRECTIONS' William married Isabella Countess of Fife, suo jure, daughter of Duncan 10th Earl of Fife and Unknown, before 1358.1 (Isabella Countess of Fife, suo jure was born about 1320 and died after August 1389.) Marriage Notes: "ISABELLA, succeeded as Countess of Fife, as heir to her father, Earl Duncan, in 1353. While still young she was made prisoner at Perth in 1332, by Edward Baliol. She was married, first, to Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie in Fife, who, in her right, became Earl of Fife. He is designed William, Earl of Fife, knight, as witness to a charter of King David II. 12 April 1358, and he obtained from that monarch a charter erecting Cupar into a free burgh. He died soon afterwards, leaving a son, but by a former wife." |
