"Sir William de Moravia (or Murray) of Tullibardine etc (a 1297) m. (before 28.10.1284) Ada (dau of Malise, seneschal of Strathearn)"

from stirnet.com




"He (William Murray) married before 28 October 1284, Ada, daughter of Sir Malise, steward of Strathearn, with whom he had the west half of the lands of Tullibardine by charter, dated Tuesday after the feast of SS. Simon and Jude 1284, granted by Ada's mother Muriel, and about the same date, Maria, his wife's aunt, who was evidently a co-heiress with Muriel, in compensation for injustice done to him by her, contrary to writings between him and her late husband Eugenius or Ewen, son of Coning or Conan (an illegitimate son of Henry, Earl of Atholl), granted to Sir William her portion, the east half of Tullibardine in feufarm for 12 merks sterling and other dues. In these charters he is styled miles, and as he appears in other charters about this time as ' Willelmus de Moravia ' only, it would appear that he was knighted in or about this year. His seal shows a shield bearing a chevron between three mullets, and legend S. Willelmi de Moravia.' He left a son"

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)

Note:

The scenario outlined in the above paragraph disagrees with other secondary sources who state that Ada was the daughter of Malise rather than his granddaughter.
