13. | Elizabeth (of Rowallan) Mure (daughter of Adam (Sir) (of Rowallan) Mure and Janet (of Polkelly) Mure); died before 1355. Notes:
See also "Pieces of Mure of Rowallan History" (pt 1) athttp://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/5127/Muir/muirhis2.html
"In 1348, Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam of Rowallan and
Janet, heiress of Polkelly, married Robert Stewart, son of WalterfitzAlan, high steward of Scotland. Robert Stewart's mother was Margery,daughter of Robert the Bruce. When Robert the Bruce's son, David, diedwithout issue, Robert Stewart became king of Scotland, as Robert II. Ishould also note that when Robert Stewart and Elizabeth Mure married thatthey had to obtain a dispensation from the Pope as "the parties were inthe fourth degree of consanguinity." I don't profess to know what thismeans as to proximity of relationship, but it would appear to have beenclose.
> Elizabeth Mure had siblings, Adam Jr., heir of Rowallan, Andrew, andAlexander. In 1417 there is a document that gives "to a noblemanAlexander Mure" various lands, but the important part is that the subnotedescribes them as "comprehended in the barony of STRATHAVEN, LANARKSHIRE.This grant was given Alexander Mure by an Earl Douglas, husband of RobertIII's daughter, Margaret"
