Biography
Mary (a.k.a. Margaret) was the daughter of Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell and Lady Margaret Gordon.[1][2][3][4]
A contract for the marriage of Margaret and Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus was signed on 26 Jun 1509.[1][3][4]
She d.s.p.s.(decessit sine prole superstite) in 1513, in childbirth.[1]
Research Notes
- With a marriage dated 26 Jun 1509, one can infer her bith prior to 26 Jun 1497. Her parents were married 21 Feb 1490/1491 placing her birth after 7 Nov 1491.
- Complete Peerage names her 'Margaret or Mary'[1] and given the duplication of names noted in Scots Peerage[2] it might well have been 'Mary' in spite of the irrufutable evidence for the name 'Margaret' in the contract of marriage.[4]
- The Peerage: Lady Margaret Hepburn; cites Scots Peerage (v2, p. 154) and Complete Peerage (v1, p. 157)
