DRUMMOND, Beatrix 1
User ID: Y452. Beatrix had a relationship with James HAMILTON 2nd Lord Hamilton, Earl of Arran, son of Sir James HAMILTON Lord Hamilton, 6th of Cadzow and Mary STEWART.1 (James HAMILTON 2nd Lord Hamilton, Earl of Arran was born about 1477.) Marriage Notes: "Margaret, married, before 22 August 1515, to Andrew Stewart, Lord Avondale, is usually claimed as a daughter of the first Earl of Arran by his alleged first wife, Beatrix Drummond, daughter of John, first Lord Drummond. If so, she was certainly illegitimate, as appears from a Crown charter on 11 May 1496, while Elizabeth Home was still Lord Hamilton's wife, granting the baronies of Hamilton, and specially Machanshire, Curmannock, and Drumsargard, to Beatrix Drummond and the male children born between her and Lord Hamilton, a distinction being made between them and his lawful issue. Her father was a witness to the charter. On 3 July 1498, as Lady of Machanshire, Beatrix raised an action against Lord Hamilton for wrongfully uplifting the rents of her liferent lands, but by consent of parties the matter was delayed for decision by the King, on his return from the Isles, and no more is heard of the case." |
