HUGH de Ross, son of WILLIAM de Ross Earl of Ross & his wife Eupheme, m secondly (before 1329, Papal dispensation 24 Nov 1329) as her first husband, MARGARET Graham.[1]
Balfour Paul says that her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter of her son Hugh Earl of Ross which names Patrick de Graham "avunculus meus (my uncle)", but assumes that this means that her father was David Graham and her husband William Earl of Ross.[2]
The Earl of Ross married, secondly, before 24 November 1329, Margaret, daughter of Sir David Graham of Old Montrose; dispensation granted at Avignon, on the discovery, long after they were married and had issue, of a canonical impediment, and legitimating the children.[3]
From a chronological point of view, this seems improbable. It is more likely that Earl Hugh addresses Patrick de Graham as "avunculus", meaning his wife’s uncle, in which case his wife was the daughter of one of Patrick’s brothers.[2][3]
She married secondly (Papal dispensation 13 Apr 1341) John de Barclay.[2]
