- See also "The Earls of Ross and Their Descendants" Compiled by FrancisNevile Reid, 1894. (Reprinted from "the Scottish Antiquart: or NorthernNotes & Queries") Reprinted 1987 by Scotpress, Bruceton Mills, WestVirginia (pages 5 & 8)
"Hugh Ross of Rarichies and lst of Balnagowan was the son of Hugh 5th
Earl of Ross by the Earl's second wife, Margaret Graham, daughter of Sir
David Graham of Montrose. Earl Hugh's first wife, whom he married in
1308, was Lady Maud (Matilda) Bruce, sister of King Robert I. According
to Alison Weir, who agrees that Maud was Hugh's first wife, Maud died
between 1323 and 1329. The latter date coincides with the date of the
papal dispensation for Earl Hugh's second marriage, which, according to
F. N. Reid's THE EARLS OF ROSS, at 4, was "long after they were married."
If we assume that Earl Hugh remarried in 1323, the earliest year in
which his first wife may have died, their son Hugh Ross, later ofRarichies and Balnagowan, could not have been born until 1324 or later..."
