Left his lady a widow with 6 children, and also bigg with child and near her time at his death. King Robert knowing what good service my 2. Lord Fraser Lord Lovat had done him, and how much the Frasers merited of the Crowne by their loyalty, he recommends the Lady Dowager of Lovat to Hugh, Earle of Rosse, his care, the conduct also and management of her affaires, and indeed he proved a kind and noble tutor to that famely.
