      ;      per van de Pas: "A dispensation, dated at Fondi on 14 January 1378/1379, reports: To the bishop of Moray. Faculty to dispense Reginald Cheyn, donzel, and Murielle, damselle, daughter of Sir William de Keth, of Moray and Aberdeen dioceses, from the impediment to marriage arising from the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity.
     Muriel Keith, the future second wife of Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, was contracted to marry Reginald le Cheyne, son of Sir Reginald le Cheyne by his wife Helen of Strathearn. Reginald likely never married Muriel Keith, and is known to have died without progeny. Robert Stewart and Muriel Keith had a dispensation to marry dated 4 May 1380, so Reginald likely died some time before that date."⁴

He obtained with her large estates in Kincardine or Mearns, which from this time forward became the principal residence of the Keith family.

When Sir William Keith resolved to erect a castle as a place of safety during the troubled times in which he lived, he took the precaution first of all to build a church for the parish in a more convenient place; but the Bishop of St. Andrews thought it fit to excommunicate him on the pretence that he had violated consecreated ground. Sir William, however, appealed to Pope Benedict XIII stating the whole circumstances of the case, the urgent need of such a fortress, and the compensation he had made for the site by building another church. The Pontiff, on learning the real state of matters, issued a Bull, dated 18 July 1394, decided the appeal in Sir William's favour, directing the Bishop to remove the excommunication, and to permit the baron to retain possession of the castle on the payment of a certain sum to the Church."²

; NB: There is no agreement about the ancestry of Manassès II.
     Genealogics show no parents for him.
     Med Lands shows him as the son of Manassès I (d. aft 912). Med Lands cites a charter "of "Manasses comes" witnessed by "Walo filius eius et Manasses comes iunior" [6]," and the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which in 906 names "comes Manasses Divionensi", specifying that "Walo et alterius Manasses comes iunior" were his sons [7]."

     "daughter ([after 882]-after 11 Aug 887). The existence of more than one daughter of King Boson & his second wife is confirmed by the charter dated 11 Aug 887 under which Emperor Karl III confirms a donation by "neptam nostram Hermingardim…filioque suo Hludouuico nepoti nostro et sororibus eius"[70].
