; per Ravilious: [quote] Thursday, 14 January, 2010
The account in Scots Peerage concerning the career of Sir Robert de Erskine (d.1452) discusses the widely-held position that he married a daughter of Robert Stewart, lord of Lorne, but holds that he married a daughter (evidently named Elizabeth) of David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford [1]. In addition to documentation of a marriage contract stated therein, there is good evidence that this in fact occurred. The supplication for the marriage of Janet Erskine, daughter of Sir Robert, and Walter Stewart, son of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, dated 2 Apr 1421, proves that they were second cousins ("related in the third and third degree of consanguinity"). This would be correct if Janet's maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Stewart, wife of Earl David (of Crawford) and daughter of Robert II, King of Scots [2].

There is however good reason to maintain that Sir Robert Erskine entered into a second marriage, and that this was in fact with a daughter of Robert Stewart of Lorne. The contract of marriage between Erskine and the daughter of David Lindsay, Earl of Crawford (1400) comports well with the birth of their daughter Janet in the range of say 1402 to 1407, and her documented marriage in 1421. However, Sir Robert also had among his issue a daughter Christian, the wife of Patrick Graham, Lord Graham (d. 1466 or later). Christian had children by Graham known to have married in the period 1455 to 1460, but she also had a daughter Elizabeth Graham who was only contracted to marry William Livingston of Kilsyth on 19 Dec 1480, which marriage occurred no later than 1 Oct 1482 [3].

Elizabeth Graham had a large progeny by William Livingston, so it is clear she was not advanced in years at the time of her marriage. If she were born as late as say 1457 x 1462, and her mother Christian Erskine were born as early as say 1415 x 1420, it would not be impossible for Christian to have been a very late birth on the part of Elizabeth Lindsay, and Elizabeth Graham likewise of Christian Erskine. At the same time, the extension of these female generations is not likely: it seems less than probable that Elizabeth Graham would only have been contracted to marry in 1480 when her alleged grandmother (per SP) Elizabeth Lindsay, if alive, would have been approximately 90 years of age, or more.

In addition to the chronological issue, there is a piece of evidence which supports identifying Christian Erskine as the daughter of a 2nd marriage of Sir Robert Erskine, and specifically to a daughter of Robert Stewart of Lorn. Christian's grandson William Graham, Lord Graham and 1st Earl of Montrose, was married in 1479 to Annabela Drummond, daughter of John, Lord Drummond, which marriage required and received a dispensation [4]. The details of the dispensation are not given, but would have been required for a relationship in the 4th degree or closer. Annabela Drummond was (on her mother's side) a descendant of David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford, but if her husband was also their relationship would have been in the 4th and 5th degrees of consanguinity, for which no dispensation would have been required.

Annabela Drummond had on her father's side a great-grandfather, Sir David Murray of Tullibardine, married to Isabel Stewart, stated to have been a daughter of John Stewart of Lorne [5]. If Isabel were in fact a daughter of John's son and heir Robert Stewart, she would have been a sister of the alleged Stewart wife of Sir Robert Erskine. If as held above Christian Erskine was the daughter of Sir Robert Erskine by this Stewart wife, William Graham and Annabela Drummond (married in 1479) would have been related in the 4th and 4th degrees of consanguinity, necessitating the dispensation alluded to.

Notes

[1] SP V:604, sub Erskine, Earl of Mar:
‘ Lord Erskine is usually said to have married a daughter of Robert Stewart of Lorn and Innermeath, but there is good reason to believe that he married the daughter of David, Earl of Crawford, referred to (her name not being given, but it was probably Elizabeth) in an agreement between that nobleman and Sir Thomas Erskine, dated at Brechin 20 December 1400. By that writ it was arranged that Sir Robert Erskine should marry a daughter of the Earl,…’

The account in the Innermeath article [SP V:3] has little detail, but accords with the above.


[2] The translation provided by E. R. Lindsay and A. I. Cameron:
' Dispensatio matrimonialis Walter Steuart of Levenax, Glasgow diocese, and Joneta de Erskyn, daughter of Robert de Erskyn, knight, St. Andrews diocese, - that the Pope would dispense them to contract and remain in matrimony, notwithstanding that they are related in the third and third degree of consanguinity. Fiat et petitur. O. Rome, S. Peter's, 6 Kal. May, anno 4 ' [Lindsay and Cameron, Calendar of Scottish Supplications to Rome 1418-1422, p. 250]

[3] The SP article on the family of Livingston, Viscount Kilsyth says of a previous controversy as to the identification of the wife of William Livingston (slain at Flodden in 1513):
' Two entries in the Stirling MS. Protocols seem to settle the question. The first is the record of an agreement between Thomas, Lord Erskine, and Christina, Lady Graham, on the one hand, and Edward Livingston of Balcastell, on the other, for the marriage of William Livingston, son and heir- apparent of the said Edward and Elizabeth Graham, daughter of the said Christina, dated 19 December 1480. That this contemplated marriage took place, and that the relationship between Lord Erskine and Lady Graham was that of brother and sister, is proved by a later deed, 1 October 1482, which bears that in prosecuting a brief of inquest purchased by William Livingston, son and heir of the late Edward Livingston of Balcastell, anent the lands of Castletown, etc., the procurator of the said William alleged that Lord Erskine (who was Sheriff of Stirlingshire) should not be a judge in serving of the said brief, because he was suspect, the said William having espoused the daughter of his sister. ' [SP V:186]
