DE MORAVIA, John 1Cause of his death was plague.1 User ID: K147. General Notes: "John ... was sent to England as a hostage when he was very young, and he died there of the plague in 1361. Sir Robert Gordon erroneously states that the Earl's son and heir Alexander was the hostage, and died in England, and that John carried on the line of the family. But Fordun, a contemporary, says positively tliat the Princess Margaret had only one son, John, and Wyntoun repeats the statement. Fordun adds that his mother died immediately after his birth. His death, according to Bower, took place at Lincoln about 8 September 1361." |
