------------------------------

Judging from the period at which their children began to take an active part in public life, the marriage of Lord Glamis with Isobel Ogilvy, daughter of sir Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen, must have taken place soon after his return from England in 1427.

After her first husband's death, Lady Glamis married Gilbert, first Lord Kennedy, who she also survived.

She had a full share of the pugnacity of the race from which she sprang. She fought her sons, her tenants, her neighbors, and her creditors, and had a tough struggle with the representatives of her second husband for the possession of the family place

On 20 June 1480 she entered into an indenture with the Prior and convent of the Preaching Dominicans, Friars of Ayr, who with consent of Brother John More, Vicar-General of that order in Scotland, agreed, in return for a liberal endowment of lands in the town and sheriffdom of Ayr, to perform divine service for the benefit of the souls of James and Margaret, King and Queen of Scotland, of Isobel herself, and her father and mother, and of Patrick, Lord Glamis, and Gilbert Kennedy, Lord of that Ilk, her husbands.

After Lord Kennedy's death, who was succeeded by his son by a previous marriage, her ladyship was reconciled to her family, and returned to Forfarshire. 'She in her widdoweheid finished the old House of Glams, built the two ston bridges, and the ille in the Kirk of Glames, wherein, with her first husband, she was interred in anno 1484, as the inscription upon the tomb bears witnes.;

By her, Lord Glamis had issue:

1. Alexander, second Lord Glamis.
2. John, third Lord Glamis
3. William of Pettanys. He obtained a charter of Easter Ogil ...
4. Patrick, Styled brother-german of Alexander, Lord Glamis
5. Elizabeth, married, before 1 April 1460 to Alexander Robertson of Strowane.

------------------------------

... the marriage of Patrick, lord Glamis, and his wife, Issobel Ogilvy, who is said to have been a daughter of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen, must have taken place soon after Patrick's return from England in 1427... After her first husband's death, lady Glamis married Gilbert, first lord Kennedy, whom she also survived.

Her motherhood to Alexander and John, who succeeded in turn to the honours of the house, is proved in the course of her numerous litigations, for she had her full share of the pugnacity of her race. She fought her sons, her tenants, her neighbours, and her creditors, and had a tough struggle with the representatives of her second husband for the possession of the family plate. After the death of lord Kennedy, (who was succeeded in that title by John, second lord Kennedy, his son by a previous marriage), lady Glamis was reconciled to her family, and returned to Forfarshire; and in the ms. of 1631, it is recorded that "she in her widdowehead finished the old house of Glamis, built the two ston bridges and the ille in the kirk of Glames wherin with her first husband she was interred in anno 1484 as the inscription upon the tomb bears wittnes."

There were at least four children of the marriage:

1. Alexander, who succeeded as second lord Glamis
2. John, who succeeded as third lord Glamis
3. William of Pettanys and Easter Ogil
4. Elizabeth, wife of Alexander Robertson of Strowane

From "Duncan the fat's descendants become Robertsons" by Joe Adair:

http://www.adair.ca/Robertson/Robertson.html

Duncan's son, Robert became second Lord of Struan about 1355. Through his second marriage, he acquired the lands of Stermont. However, his first marriage to the daughter of Sir John Sterling of Glenesk created some friction due to shared inheritance of the lands of Glenesk in Angus with her sister who married Sir Alexander Lindsay. The Lindsays had a son, Sir David Lindsay.

The Lindsays were very powerful, owning 2/3 of Angus County and were overlords of the highland district of Strathnairn. The division of land to the two sisters may have annoyed our chief.

Sir David Lindsay expected trouble from his aunt's family, and quite rightly so as it turned out. He arranged a meeting with Robert to discuss the matter. Robert did not attend. Sir David Lindsay sent a scout to find out what was going on. The scout never returned. Robert did not attend the meeting, instead secretly met with Sir Duncan Stewart who was backed by his men and the Roses from Strathnairn.

Robert had 3 younger half brothers, through their father's second marriage. They were Patrick of Lude, Thomas of Strowan and Gibbon. These brothers led a small army of our clansmen and secretly joined with Sir Duncan Stewart and his men to form an army of over 300 in 1392. They marched into Angus to the east and killed many Lindsays and their Ogilvies allies and their homes were burnt. Three thousand head of Angus cattle were stolen and driven to Rannoch.

The surviving enemy regrouped and caught up with our clan near Blairgowrie. At the battle of Glasclune, the Angus men were defeated, but we suffered heavy losses. The cattle were driven along the valley of Strathardle to our clan territory.

Still the enemy was not content to let it stand. Sir Walter Ogilvie, hereditary Sheriff of Angus, got it in his head that our clan's action was on shaky legal ground. He and his possy joined the retreating Angus men previously defeated and caught up with our men at Glenbrierachan in western Strathardle, six miles northeast of Pitlochry. Sixty mounted knights and sundry others comprised the enemy.

This steel armour and long lances were matched against our array of weapons:

Claymore - large broadsword, sharp on both edges
Targe - small, light shield which sacrifices defense to make offence easier
Dirk - dagger that can be used while the enemy fends off your claymore
We sent the Angus cattle ahead and positioned ourselves on rough ground, difficult for the enemy horses. Thus a charge by the knights with lances lowered would be difficult.

The battle did not last long. Sir David Lindsay had pinned one of our men to the ground. Our clansman pulled himself up using Sir David's own lance and using his claymore, penetrated Sir David's stirrup and armour steel boot to nearly sever Sir David's foot off, having cut through to the bone. Unfortunately, our brave clansman died later of his wounds.

In the quick defeat of the enemy and their subsequent panic, Sir Walter Ogilvie (the now late sheriff), his brother, nearly a dozen knights and about 60 others were killed by our clan. After so much harassment over this simple cattle transaction, our clan realized that

Walter married Isabel RAMSAY. Isabel (daughter of Malcolm RAMSAY and Lady Agathe OGILVY) was born in 1350 in Auchterhouse, Angus, Scotland; died in 1403 in Auchterhouse, Angus, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Name: John Glen
• Name: John of Balmuto

Notes:

John was born about the middle of the fourteenth century, perhaps at Balmuto in Fife.

His parentage is not clearly defined but he was probably grandson of John de Glen who had a charter of Balmuto in the reign of King Robert the Bruce.

About 1380-85 he married Margaret Erskine daughter and co-heiress to Alan Erskine and Isabel Inchmartine of Inchmartine.

He was knighted towards the end of the 1390's as he appears with other who were designed knights in a charter by William Scott of Balwearie while he is designed simply John of Glen. By about 1400 he was Sir John.

His wife's sister Isabel shared in the estate of their parents including parts of Balmuto and Inchmartine.. She married Sir David de Wemyss the eldest son of Sir John de Wemyss of Reres and Kincaldrum. About 1400 the sisters and their spouses Sir John and Sir David, agreed to an exchange of lands for efficiency of management.

Also about 1400, Sir John Glen of Balmuto was witness to a charter by Thomas Lord Erskine.

Sir John and Margaret Erskine had three daughters:

1.) Margery who married who Sir Andrew Ogilvy son of Auchterhouse who by this marriage gained the title of Inchmartine.

2.) Isabel whomarried as second wife to Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen

3.) Christian who married David Ogilvy of Kinneff who by this marriage gained the title of Balmuto,

About 1405, Sir John Glen granted the lands of Balhawell to Walter Ogilvy on his marriage to Isabel Glen. Sir John died about 1410 and was survived by his wife Margaret Erskine, Lady Inchmartine and their three daughters.

John married Lady Margaret ERSKINE, Countess of Balmuto in 1369 in Banff, Banffshire, Scotland. Margaret (daughter of Sir Alan ERSKINE, of Inchmartin and Isabel INCHMARTIN) was born on 1 Jan 1354 in Scotland; died on 20 Nov 1419 in Lindisfarne Castle, Kirkcudbright, Sutherland, Scotland.
