Agnes married Sir John DE MONFODE of Skirling, Peeblesshire.1 (Sir John DE MONFODE of Skirling, Peeblesshire was born about 1295 and died before October 1344 1.)
Marriage Notes:
"Evidence was noted recently courtesy of the National Records of Scotland that, together with charters in the Registrum Honoris de Morton, prove that Agnes de Graham was in fact the same individual as Agnes, widow of Sir John de Monfode of Skirling Peeblesshire, (adjoining the parish of Kilbucho)."
from The Scottish Genealogist 1
Agnes next married Sir John DOUGLAS, son of Sir James DOUGLAS of Lothian and Unknown, 12 October 1344 (papal dispensation).1 2 (Sir John DOUGLAS was born about 1302 and died between 1346 and 25 January 1350 2.)
Marriage Notes:
"Sir Henry Douglas of Lugtoun and Lochleven was the fourth son of Sir John Douglas of Dalkeith, by his wife Agnes Munfode."
from Scots Peerage (vol 6)
"The fact that this grant (of 14 April 1377, charter of resignation by Margaret de Cragy)) was made at Dalkeith would indicate that Sir William Douglas, younger brother of Sir James of Dalkeith (d.1420) was the uncle of Margaret de Cragy (daughter of Margaret de Monfode whose mother was Agnes de Graham). Given the Cragy descent from Sir John de Monfode and his wife Agnes, this shows that Agnes 'de Monfode' was the same individual as Agnes de Graham, the wife of Sir John de Douglas, and that her younger son Sir William de Douglas was the uncle of her granddaughter Margaret de Cragy."
from The Scottish Genealogist
"Regesta 165: 1344-1345
4 Id. Oct.
Avignon.
(f. 140d.)
To the bishop of St. Andrews. Faculty to grant dispensation to John de Duglas, knight, and Agnes de Grame to intermarry, they having lived together and had offspring, notwithstanding the assertion made that Agnes was aunt (see Note below) of a woman with whom John had cohabited, Agnes being ignorant of the said impediment. A penance is to be enjoined on John, and two chaplaincies of 10 marks each are to be founded within two years. Their past and future offspring is to be declared legitimate. [Cal. Pet.. i. 79; Theiner, 282.]"

Note:
John Ravilious points out in the relevant article in The Scottish Genealogist (2014) that an error had occurred in the translation of a Latin word used in the papal dispensation, which when correctly translated show no evidence of affinity. 1 2 4
