  Marriage Notes:

"He (Patrick Hepburn) married .... secondly, Eleanor Bruce, Countess of Carrick, only daughter of Sir Archibald Douglas (brother of the good Sir James Douglas), who was for a few months guardian of the kingdom .... A dispensation dated at Avignon 15 Kal. Aprilis 1376 was granted by Pope Gregory XI., permitting 'the noble man Patrick de Hepborn, Knight, and Eleonora de Bruys, Comitissa de Carrick,' to marry, notwithstanding that Agnes, his former wife, was within the fourth degree of consanguinity to the Countess.' She must have been far advanced in life when she was married to Sir Patrick, who seems to have been her fifth husband. He died before King Robert III."
