James married Egidia STEWART, daughter of Walter STEWART 6th High Steward of Scotland and Isabella DE GRAHAM, about April 1346.^{1 2} (Egidia STEWART was born about 1323.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Egidia, who was thrice married ; first, to Sir James Lindsay of Crawford ; second, after October 1357, to Sir Hugh of Eglinton ; and third (contract October 1378), to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith."

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




"He (Sir James Lindsay) married Egidia, daughter of Walter, Steward of Scotland, and half-sister of King Robert II. A papal dispensation for this marriage was granted at Avignon Ides of April 1346, which describes the spouses as within the third and fourth degree on the father's side, and in the fourth degree on the mother's. A strong inference thus arises that Sir James's grandmother, wife of Sir Alexander, was daughter to the Steward."
