     ; Per Med Lands:
     "WILLIAM (-before 25 Jul 1281, maybe before Jan 1279). "…Willelmo filio Duncani comitis de Mar…" subscribed the undated charter, dated to [1223/40], under which "Fergusius filius Gilberti quondam comitis de Stathern" donated "terram…de Beny" to Lindores Abbey[456]. He succeeded his father in [1243] as Earl of Mar, first recorded as such as witness of a royal charter dated 7 Feb 1244. However, he cites no contemporary primary source which confirms that this supposition is correct. Alan Durward claimed the earldom of Mar in 1257, impugning the legitimacy of his predecessors, a bull of Pope Alexander IV dated 4 Oct 1257 detailing the whole case[457]. "Willelmus comes de Mar" confirmed the donations of "ecclesiam de Taruelond…de Migueth" made by "dñs Morgrundus avus noster…dña Agnes avia nostra quondam comitissa de Mar" to St Andrew’s priory by charter dated 23 Jan 1267 witnessed by "…Douenaldo Duncano filiis eiusdem comitis…"[458]. He was appointed Chamberlain of Alexander III King of Scotland in [1252] and from 1262 to 1264[459]. A memoranda dated "Michaelmas Term" [Oct/Dec] in 1281 records that "the king commands the barons, as William earl of Mar provided his service in the army of Wales for a knight’s fee, to quit him of the scutage"[460]. This document, if correctly dated, suggests that Earl William was still alive at that time. However, his son Donald is recorded as Earl of Mar 25 Jul 1281, which suggests that the previous document should be redated to an earlier year or that "William earl of Mar" in the text was an error for "Donald earl of Mar". Another indication that William Earl of Mar died a few years earlier than 1281 is the document which indicates his widow’s second marriage (see below).
     "m firstly ELIZABETH Comyn, daughter of WILLIAM Comyn Earl of Buchan & his second wife Margaret Ctss of Buchan (-[1265/66]). John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death, dated to [1265/66] from the context, of "comitissa de Mar, soror comitis de Buchania"[461]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.
     "m secondly (after 1267) as her first husband, MURIEL of Strathearn, daughter of MALISE Earl of Strathearn & his first wife Marjory de Muschamp of Wooler ([1244]-[16 May/12 Nov] 1291). A charter dated 16 May 1291 records the homage sworn to King Edward by "Muriellæ quæ fuit uxor Willelmi quondam comitis de Mar, filiæ et heredis Margeriæ filiæ Roberti de Muschaumps defunctæ" for the lands of "Margeria mater sua"[462]. She married secondly (before Jan 1279, [divorced before 1291]) James ---. [same person as…? James Stewart, later High Steward of Scotland.] Her second marriage is indicated by an assize roll dated "7 Edw I" [Nov 1278/Nov 1279] which records a claim relating to the barony of Muschamp brought by "Jacobus filius Alexandri et Muriella uxor eius" and "Maria uxor Nicholai de Grame", both represented by "Stephanum de Muschaump vel Thomam de Hagarston", against "Thomam de Rok"[463]. Pleas taken at Newcastle 20 Jan 1279 (N.S.) include a jury finding that "the heirs of Muschampe hold their barony by service of four knights, and making suit to the county of Newcastle"[464]. Andrew MacEwen indicates that "Muriella…Maria" were the two daughters of Malise Earl of Strathearn by his first wife Marjory de Muschamp, and identifies "Jacobus filius Alexandri", the husband of Muriel, as James Stewart the future High Steward of Scotland, although he cites no primary source which confirms that the latter identification is correct[465]. The absence of any reference to Muriel’s husband "James" in the document dated 16 May 1291 quoted below, suggests that the marriage must have terminated before that date by divorce or annulment. A charter dated 16 May 1291 records the homage sworn to King Edward by "Muriellæ quæ fuit uxor Willelmi quondam comitis de Mar, filiæ et heredis Margeriæ filiæ Roberti de Muschaumps defunctæ" for the lands of "Margeria mater sua"[466]. The Inquisitions on the death of "Muriella quondam comitissa de Mar" are dated 23 Nov 1291 and name "Maria uxor Nicholai de Graham [soror] dictæ Muriellæ…propinquor heres" aged 40[467]."

' MALCOLM, EARL OF FIFE, DID HOMAGE BEFORE THE HIGH ALTAR FOR THE LANDS
OF CLUNY ' , 13 July 1250:
— In the Register of Dunfermline, it is noted that Malcolm, Earl of
Fife, did homage before the Great Altar, to Robert de Maledeleth, then
Abbot, for the lands of Cluny, previous to High Mass, on the day that
Holy Margaret was translated at Dunfermline in presence of King
Alexander III., seven Bishops, and seven Earls of Scotland.
(Print. Regist, Dunf. p. 235, No. 348; Dal, Mon. Antiq. p. 22.) '
- Henderson, Annals of Dunfermline[2]

gave lands to David de Graham, confirmed by King Alexander III, charter
dated at St. Andrew, 27 Dec 1253:
' ALEXANDER Dei gracia rex Scottorum, omnibus probis hominibus tocius
terre sue salutem: Sciant presentes et futuri nos concessisse et hac
carta nostra confirmasse donacionem illam quam Malcolmus comes de Fyfe
fecit Dauid de Grahame, de quibusdam terris in baronia de Caledoun,
cum pertinenciis suis...' [The Lennox II:13-15, No. 12[3]]

: Andrew B. W. MacEwen has determined that
(1) Malcolm, Earl of Fife married another daughter of Llywelyn
(possibly Susanna) as his first wife, and that
(2) His second wife was Elen, by whom he had issue, and by whom Donald
of Mar subsequently had his children.


cf. SP IV:9[4]

re: his wife:

allegedly Elen ferch Llywelyn:
reported by the historian Fordun as a daughter of 'Llywelyn, Prince of
Wales' (taken to be Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, aka Llywelyn Fawr).

This identification presents chronological difficulties, given her
reputed birthdate (1234), the reported birth date of her son Colban
MacDuff [by first husband Malcolm, Earl of Fife] ca. 1250 and
additional children by Donald, Earl of Mar from ca. 1272 onward[5]

She was evidently a kinswoman of Ada de Warenne, countess of
Northumberland (most likely a niece)

she m. lstly Malcolm, Earl of Fife,
2ndly Donald, Earl of Mar

Spouse: Elen
Death: aft Feb 1294[5]
