from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




" ..... in 1360 another papal dispensation was granted, legalising the union she had formed some time before with John Drummond of Concraig, and legitimising their offspring. The dispensation styles her Margaret, Countess of Menteith, and about the same date she, as Countess, grants the lands of Aberfoyle to John Drummond of Concraig, and to the children born betwixt them, a grant confirmed by King David II. on 12 November 1361. The fact that she is styled Countess seems to imply that her mother had then died, probably about 1359. Countess Margaret's third husband must have died soon after the granting of the dispensation, or after 17 May 1360, if, as seems probable, he was the John Drummond who took part in the agreement made on that day with the Menteiths, with whom he had been at feud. He was certainly deceased before 9 September 1361. when a fifth dispensation was issued for the marriage of Margaret, Countess of Menteith, with Robert Stewart, third son of Robert, Earl of Strathearn (afterwards King Robert II.), the intending spouses being themselves the petitioners."
