Notes


HUGH de Ross, son of WILLIAM de Ross Earl of Ross & his wife Eupheme --- (-killed in battle Halidon Hill 19 Jul 1333, bur Fearn). A charter dated 28 Aug 1297 records that "Willelmus comes de Ros" was in prison in the Tower of London and granted safe conduct to "Hugone filio suo" to visit him[30]. He succeeded his father in 1323 as Earl of Ross. The Liber Pluscardensis names "Hugo comes Rossensis" among those killed in battle at Halidon Hill in 1333[31]. m firstly MAUD Bruce, daughter of ROBERT de Brus Earl of Carrick & his first wife Margaret Ctss of Carrick (-after Sep 1323, bur Fearn). John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "Robertum comitem de Carric…alia filia" married "Hugoni comiti de Ross"[32]. m secondly (before 1329, Papal dispensation 24 Nov 1329) as her first husband, MARGARET Graham, daughter of --- Graham & his wife ---. Balfour Paul says that her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter of her son Hugh Earl of Ross which names Patrick de Graham "avunculus meus", but assumes that this means that her father was David Graham and her husband William Earl of Ross[33]. From a chronological point of view, this seems improbable. It is more likely that Earl Hugh addresses Patrick de Graham as "avunculus", meaning his wife’s uncle, in which case his wife was the daughter of one of Patrick’s brothers. She married secondly (Papal dispensation 13 Apr 1341) John de Barclay. [The marriage contract between "Alexm de Moravia de Drumsergorth" and "dominam Eufemiam…Reginam Scocie…dnam Joneta de Munymuske sorore dicte dne Regine" is dated 24 Nov 1370[34]. The chronology suggests that Janet must have been the queen’s uterine sister, born from her mother’s second marriage, otherwise the bride would have been in her late thirties at the time of the marriage. If that is correct, Janet would have been Margaret’s daughter by John de Barclay.] Earl Hugh & his first wife had two children: 1. WILLIAM de Ross (-Delny 9 Feb 1372).

Robert II King of Scotland confirmed the confirmation made by "consanguineus noster Walterus de Lesley de Ross et...consanguinea nostra Eufamia sponsa sua", of a donation to Fraserburgh made by “Andree Mercer”, by charter dated 1382[36]. She possessed one half of the lands of the earldom of Buchan, which she resigned before their regrant to her second husband[37].
