• Notes

  Margaret Stewart, also known as Princess Margaret, was the oldest daughter of King Robert II of Scotland and his 1st wife, Elizabeth Mure. She was born about 1338, long before her father became king of Scotland. Margaret's parents married in 1336, however, because they were not married in a church the marriage was criticized as uncanonical and the children considered illegitimate. Her parents married a second time in 1349, legitimizing their 10 children. Margaret's oldest brother John Stewart, succeeded their father as king of Scotland, taking the reginal name King Robert III. In 1350, Margaret married John of Islay, Lord of the Isles, becoming his 2nd wife. John of Islay, also known as John MacDonald, was a strong supporter of Margaret's father and had to divorce his 1st wife, Aime, before they could marry. Margaret and John had 8 children: - Donald (Domhnall) of Islay, Lord of the Isles, d. 1423, married Mary, daughter of Sir Walter Leslie. - John M?r Tanister, d. 1427, married Marjorie Bisset, daughter of Sir Hugh Bisset. - Alastair Carrach, d. c. 1440, married Mary, daughter of Malcolm, Earl of Lennox. - Agnes, married Sir John Montgomerie of Ardrossan. They had a son, Alexander Montgomerie, 1st Lord Montgomerie. - Hugh.,Thane of Glentilt. - Marcus - Mary, married Lachlan Maclean of Duart. - Elizabeth, also known as Margaret, married Angus Du Mackay, 7th of Strathnaver. On 22 February 1371 Margaret's father, who had been Guardian of Scotland and acting ruler for many years, became King of Scotland, according Margaret the title of Princess of Scotland. Although Margaret's husband John had 3 sons from his first marriage, Godfrey, John and Ranald, upon his marriage to Margaret it was agreed they were to be passed over in the succession in favour of Margaret's children. Therefore, when John died in 1386, their son Donald succeeded him as Lord of the Isles. Margaret survived her husband. She did not remarry, and is believed to have died in 1410.
