MORAY, Daughter ¹

   User ID: L445.

Daughter married Alexander FRASER, son of Sir Simon FRASER of Brotherton, Sheriff of Kincardine and Margaret JONSDOTTIR.¹ (Alexander FRASER was born about 1312 and died in 1361 ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"In the account of a naval victory gained in 1337 by the English Admiral, John de Ros, over two Scottish ships, in which were many of tlie wives and children of the nobility of Scotland returning from Flanders, Alexander Frisel is named among the 'filii nobilium' who were on board and were captured.

He may have been the same person who, as Alexander Freysel, brother (in law) to Thomas Murreff (Sir Thomas Moray of Bothwell), one of the hostages for the ransom of David II., obtained a safe-conduct on the 23d July 1361, to pass to and from England, in all probability to visit Sir Thomas, who died of the plague, in London, about Michaelmas of that year.

No further record of him has been discovered, but the above authorities establish the existence of an Alexander Fraser, a youth in 1337, and of a person of the same name, and probably the same person, brother-in-law of Sir Thomas Moray of Bothwell in 1361 ; who hitherto has been ignored by all genealogists."
