"Elizabeth (Forbes), married to Alexander Irvine of Drum."

from Scots Peerage (vol 4)




"The laird of Drum, having become jealous of his lady, Marioun, daughter of Alexander, 1st Lord Forbes, and of his chaplain, Sir Edward Mackdowall, ordered him to be seized; and the outrage perpetrated on the ecclesiastic in the tower of Drum placed him for ever after beyond the reach of jealous suspicions. For this act it is said that the baron obtained a pardon from the pope, and he certainly obtained a remission from the king." (pages 53 and 54)

"By his first wife, Marioun, daughter of Lord Forbes, he had three sons and one daughter, viz.: (1) Alexander Irvine, his successor; (2) Richard Irvine;1 (3) Henry Irvine. The daughter was married to Lesly of Wardhouse"
