General Notes:
"7. Mary. She was taken prisoner in 1306 with her sister Christina, her sister-in-law Elizabeth, wife of King
Robert, and her daughter Marjorie. They were confined by Edward's orders in ' Kages ' in Roxburgh Castle, though the story that they were suspended in them outside the walls of the castle seems to be an exaggeration, as they had servants and other little comforts provided. She was still a prisoner at Newcastle on 25 June 1312, fourpence a day being paid for her expenses, though negotiations had been going on for her exchange for some time before."
