Per Genealogics:
     "George was the son of Sir Norman Leslie, of Rothes and Fythkill, and Christian Seton.
     "In 1445 George Leslie was created a lord of Parliament as Lord Leslie. On 5 November 1457, as one of the lords of the Council, he decided against Lord Erskine's claim to the Earldom of Mar. Between 5 November 1457 and 20 March 1458 he was created Earl of Rothes. Apparently he frequented Parliament between 1467 and 1481.
     "His marriages are not very clear, but his first wife may have been Margaret Lundin, said to be a daughter of John Lundin of That Ilk. After he had lived nearly twenty years in wedlock with his second wife, Christian Halyburton, daughter of Walter Halyburton and Lady Isabel Stewart, and having grown tired of her, he raised an action before the Consistory Court of St. Andrews for the dissolution of the marriage on the convenient and common plea at that time that he and his wife were related within the forbidden degrees of kindred, and that consequently their marriage was null and void from the beginning.
     "At that period a divorce could not only be obtained on this ground with the utmost facility, but was a matter of every-day occurrence. However, the problem was that the children born under the marriage would be declared illegitimate and be deprived of their rights. It was ultimately decided by the arbiter to whom the case was referred by mutual consent that the Earl should obtain a divorce, but that the legitimacy of his offspring should be preserved by his judicial deposition that he did not know of the relationship between him and his wife till after the birth of all their children. He may then have taken Elizabeth Campbell as a third wife.
     "George Leslie, 1st Earl of Rothes, died between 31 August 1489 and 24 May 1490."³
