Notes - "Sir Robert claimed the earldom of Mar through his mother's mother'smother Elyne/Elen, daughter of Gartney/Gratney, Earl of Mar. The claimwas not formally accepted until the time of John, 6th Lord Erskine. Eventhen, however, there was uncertainty as to whether or not theidentification of that lord as Earl of Mar was acceptance of his family'slongstanding claim or a new appointment. The intervening lords arenevertheless sometimes referred to as 'de jure Earls of Mar'."
