Thomas, the son, has been identified (or assumed) to
be illegitimate [11], probably due to the succession of William
(his great-uncle) as Count in 1217. Thomas was residing
in England by 1244, as he is found in London on 6 March
1243/4, marrying one Catherine Lesmayes. This
marriage is shown as producing a son Joseph (or Joseph
Thomas). Given the proximity of Thomas' birth to the
death of his father, while still married to Helisende of
Rethel, it appears that he was the legitimate son of
Thomas and Helisende, and the father of Henry III's
kinswoman Helisant (or Helisende).

Her first marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which her son "Seherus de Quency comes Wintonie" donated "totam terram de Duglyn", held by "Nesus filius Willelmi avus meus" to Cambuskenneth priory[394]. Her second marriage is indicated by the undated charter under which "Orabilis comitissa de Mar filia Nesii filii Willi" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Lochres" made by "pater meus Nesius filius Willi" to St Andrew’s priory, witnessed by "Duncano comite de Fif…"[395]. Her third marriage is indicated by the undated charter under which "Nesius filius Willelmi" donated "ecclesiam de Lochres" to St Andrew’s priory witnessed by "Dunecano comite de Fif…Adam filio Dunec et Horabili sponsa sua…"[396]. There seems little doubt that the witness was Orabilis, daughter of the donor, and her third husband, as the name is so unusual. "Orabilis filia et heres Dñi Nesii" donated property to St Andrew’s priory by undated charter witnessed by "…Patricio filio Nesii, Dunc filio Elin…"[397]. "Orabilis filia et heres Dñi Nesii" donated "Davach ictar Hathyn" to St Andrew’s priory by undated charter witnessed by "…G. com de Mar…Patricio filio Nesii, Duncan filio Emelin…"[398]. Pope Innocent III confirmed the possessions of Inchaffray Abbey, including the donation of land "in territorio de Gasgt" by "quondam Orable matris Seer de Quinci", by bull dated 30 Jun 1203[399]. Orabilis presumably died before her first husband, given the undated charter under which her son "Seerus de Quinci" confirmed the donation of "Davac Icthar Hathyn" made by "matris mea" to St Andrew’s priory which was witnessed by "…Roberto de Quincy patre meo…"[400].

The Complete Peerage says that "it has been asserted" that Orabilis’s second husband was Gilchrist Earl of Mar, but adds that "the chronology is difficult"[401]. The chronology in fact appears impossible: Earl Gilchrist is recorded up to 1199, whereas Orabilis is named with her [third] husband in a charter of her father which, although undated, is probably not dated much later than 1177. It seems more likely that Orabilis’s second husband was Morgund Earl of Mar (-[1177/30 Mar 1183]), which if correct means that she was his second wife. An alternative possibility is that Orabilis’s second and third husbands were in fact reversed, which is the assumption of Balfour Paul[402].

; Per Genealogics:
     “Mar, together with Buchan, formed one of the seven original earldoms of Scotland, the holders of which were styled Mormaers in the 10th and 11th centuries, and later called Earls. Before the 12th century Buchan had become separated from Mar.
     “The relationship of Morgund MacGylocher to his predecessors is unknown, but the rule of descent in Celtic tribes was in the male line from the common founder. He is called, in a document of doubtful authenticity, _filium Gillocheri quondam Comitis de Marre._ As _Morgund Comes_ he witnessed a charter of David I and his son Henry to Dunfermline before 1152, and a confirmation charter to Dunfermline by Malcolm IV between 1154 and 1158. As _Moregrundus comes de Mar_ he granted the church of Tarland to the priory of St. Andrews between 1165 and 1177. He and his wife Agnes made several grants to St. Andrews, and directed that they should be buried there, wherever in Scotland they may die. As _Agnes, comitissa de Mar,_ she made a grant to St.Andrews of land in Inverinche. Morgund's legitimacy was questioned long after his death, but appears to have been upheld. He died about 30 March 1183, and was succeeded by his son Duncan.”.2

; Per Med Lands:
     "MORGUND [Morgrund] MacGylocher (-[1177/30 Mar 1183]). He succeeded as Earl of Mar, witnessing charters before 1152 and [1154/58]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam sancti M’Huluoch de Tharuelund" to St Andrew’s priory, for the souls of "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter, witnessed by "…Dunecano comite de Fif, Marleswano, Nesio filio Willi, Galfredo de Maleuill…"[410]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam Miggehwith" to St Andrew’s priory, confirmed by "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ada comitissa, Hela comitissa, Alexandro de sco Martino, Hugone Giffard, Willo Giffard…Willo filio Hugonis Giffard…"[411]. Morgund’s right to the earldom of Mar was challenged, maybe by Gilchrist Earl of Mar (see below)[412]. However, Morgund was later restored as earl of Mar, as shown by a memorandum dated 1291 which records that, when William King of Scotland returned "comitatum suum de Mar" to "Morgundo M[ac] Gyloclery predecessori Domini Donenaldi comitis de Marre", certain portions of land were omitted[413]. Selden published a document which purports to record the regrant of his earldom (as well as the earldom of Moray) by King William to "Morgund son of Gillocher, formerly Earl of Mar", confirming him as the lawful son and heir of "Gillocher, Earl of Mar…[Earl] of Moray", dated 23 May 1171[414]. Skene recites the arguments which indicate the spurious nature of this document, concluding that it is "open to serious objections" while admitting that "it is difficult to devise a motive for inventing such a document"[415]. Nevertheless the 1291 memorandum quoted above suggests some historical basis for the factual background of the spurious 1171 document. The question was revived in 1257 when Alan Durward, most likely a descendant of Gilchrist Earl of Mar, challenged the possession of Duncan Earl of Mar (see below) on the basis of his father’s claimed illegitimacy. This was presumably the occasion when the alleged 1171 document was produced. The date of Morgund’s death is confirmed by a bull of Pope Lucius III dated 30 Mar 1183 which confirms donations to St Andrew’s and including donations by "Murgundi quondam comitis de Mar"[416].
     "m [firstly] AGNES, daughter of ---. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam sancti M’Huluoch de Tharuelund" to St Andrew’s priory, for the souls of "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter, witnessed by "…Dunecano comite de Fif, Marleswano, Nesio filio Willi, Galfredo de Maleuill…"[417]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam Miggehwith" to St Andrew’s priory, confirmed by "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ada comitissa, Hela comitissa, Alexandro de sco Martino, Hugone Giffard, Willo Giffard…Willo filio Hugonis Giffard…"[418].

     "m secondly as her second husband, ORABILIS, separated wife of ROBERT de Quincy, daughter of NES of Mar and his wife --- (-before 30 Jun 1203).

The Complete Peerage says that "it has been asserted" that Orabilis’s second husband was Gilchrist Earl of Mar, but adds that "the chronology is difficult"[421]. The chronology in fact appears impossible: Earl Gilchrist is recorded after 1204, whereas Orabilis is named with her [third] husband in a charter of her father which, although undated, is probably not dated much later than 1177. It seems more likely that Orabilis’s second husband was Earl Morgund, who died soon after her marriage, after which she married her third husband. An alternative possibility is that Orabilis’s second and third husbands were in fact reversed, which is the assumption of Balfour Paul[422]. Orabilis married thirdly Adam of Fife. Her third marriage is indicated by the undated charter under which "Nesius filius Willelmi" donated "ecclesiam de Lochres" to St Andrew’s priory witnessed by "Dunecano comite de Fif…Adam filio Dunec et Horabili sponsa sua…"[423].

     Agnes (?) married Morgund MacGylocher (?) Earl of Mar, son of Gille Chlerig (?) Earl of Mar,
;
His 1st wife.1,2,3
      ; Per Med Lands:
     "MORGUND [Morgrund] MacGylocher (-[1177/30 Mar 1183]). He succeeded as Earl of Mar, witnessing charters before 1152 and [1154/58]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam sancti M’Huluoch de Tharuelund" to St Andrew’s priory, for the souls of "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter, witnessed by "…Dunecano comite de Fif, Marleswano, Nesio filio Willi, Galfredo de Maleuill…"[410]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam Miggehwith" to St Andrew’s priory, confirmed by "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ada comitissa, Hela comitissa, Alexandro de sco Martino, Hugone Giffard, Willo Giffard…Willo filio Hugonis Giffard…"[411]. Morgund’s right to the earldom of Mar was challenged, maybe by Gilchrist Earl of Mar (see below)[412]. However, Morgund was later restored as earl of Mar, as shown by a memorandum dated 1291 which records that, when William King of Scotland returned "comitatum suum de Mar" to "Morgundo M[ac] Gyloclery predecessori Domini Donenaldi comitis de Marre", certain portions of land were omitted[413]. Selden published a document which purports to record the regrant of his earldom (as well as the earldom of Moray) by King William to "Morgund son of Gillocher, formerly Earl of Mar", confirming him as the lawful son and heir of "Gillocher, Earl of Mar…[Earl] of Moray", dated 23 May 1171[414]. Skene recites the arguments which indicate the spurious nature of this document, concluding that it is "open to serious objections" while admitting that "it is difficult to devise a motive for inventing such a document"[415]. Nevertheless the 1291 memorandum quoted above suggests some historical basis for the factual background of the spurious 1171 document. The question was revived in 1257 when Alan Durward, most likely a descendant of Gilchrist Earl of Mar, challenged the possession of Duncan Earl of Mar (see below) on the basis of his father’s claimed illegitimacy. This was presumably the occasion when the alleged 1171 document was produced. The date of Morgund’s death is confirmed by a bull of Pope Lucius III dated 30 Mar 1183 which confirms donations to St Andrew’s and including donations by "Murgundi quondam comitis de Mar"[416].
     "m [firstly] AGNES, daughter of ---. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam sancti M’Huluoch de Tharuelund" to St Andrew’s priory, for the souls of "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter, witnessed by "…Dunecano comite de Fif, Marleswano, Nesio filio Willi, Galfredo de Maleuill…"[417]. "Morgrundus comes de Mar" donated "ecclesiam Miggehwith" to St Andrew’s priory, confirmed by "Agnetis comitisse sponse mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ada comitissa, Hela comitissa, Alexandro de sco Martino, Hugone Giffard, Willo Giffard…Willo filio Hugonis Giffard…"[418]. "Agnes comitissa de Mar" donated "dimidiam carucatam terre in ville de Inuerinche" to St Andrew’s priory, for the souls of "mee et Morgrundi comitis sponsi mei", by undated charter witnessed by "Ada comitissa, Hela comitissa, Alexandro de sco Martino, Hugone Giffard…"[419].
     "m secondly as her second husband, ORABILIS, separated wife of ROBERT de Quincy, daughter of NES of Mar and his wife --- (-before 30 Jun 1203). Her marriage is indicated by the undated charter under which "Orabilis comitissa de Mar filia Nesii filii Willi" [confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Lochres" made by "pater meus Nesius filius Willi" to St Andrew’s priory, witnessed by "Duncano comite de Fif…"[420]. The Complete Peerage says that "it has been asserted" that Orabilis’s second husband was Gilchrist Earl of Mar, but adds that "the chronology is difficult"[421]. The chronology in fact appears impossible: Earl Gilchrist is recorded after 1204, whereas Orabilis is named with her [third] husband in a charter of her father which, although undated, is probably not dated much later than 1177. It seems more likely that Orabilis’s second husband was Earl Morgund, who died soon after her marriage, after which she married her third husband. An alternative possibility is that Orabilis’s second and third husbands were in fact reversed, which is the assumption of Balfour Paul[422]. Orabilis married thirdly Adam of Fife. Her third marriage is indicated by the undated charter under which "Nesius filius Willelmi" donated "ecclesiam de Lochres" to St Andrew’s priory witnessed by "Dunecano comite de Fif…Adam filio Dunec et Horabili sponsa sua…"[423]. There seems little doubt that the witness was Orabilis, daughter of the donor, and her third husband, as the name is so unusual. "Orabilis filia et heres Dñi Nesii" donated property to St Andrew’s priory by undated charter witnessed by "…Patricio filio Nesii, Dunc filio Elin…"[424]. "Orabilis filia et heres Dñi Nesii" donated "Davach ictar Hathyn" to St Andrew’s priory by undated charter witnessed by "…G. com de Mar…Patricio filio Nesii, Duncan filio Emelin…"[425]. Pope Innocent III confirmed the possessions of Inchaffray Abbey, including the donation of land "in territorio de Gasgt" by "quondam Orable matris Seer de Quinci", by bull dated 30 Jun 1203[426]. Orabilis presumably died before her first husband, given the undated charter under which her son "Seerus de Quinci" confirmed the donation of "Davac Icthar Hathyn" made by "matris mea" to St Andrew’s priory which was witnessed by "…Roberto de Quincy patre meo…"[427].]"
