Re: Dispensation for Robert Stewart (II of Scots) and Euphemia of Ross

Dear James,

I did make that conjecture, but have found nothing to substantiate
it to date.

My present theory (still in development) is that this Euphemia was
more likely a daughter of Sir Hugh de Abernethy (d. ca 1293) by an
unknown wife, prior to his marriage to Mary de Ergadia. This Euphemia
most likely has a descent from the Dunbars (and surely from an early de
Brus generation), but the unknowns abound. Perhaps Sir Hugh de
Abernethy married a Dunbar first......?

Would that this were helpful. Good luck, and good hunting, to
all.

Cheers,

John
