Individual Details

Princess Margaret "Lady Of Galloway" Stewart

(Bef 1342 - 1410)

'''''Extract from the Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland. (Record edition, vol. i. p. 556.)'''''
John of Yle, Lord of the Isles, and Margaret, daughter of the
Steward of Scotland, were married in 1350. In 1371 the Steward,
whose eldest son and heir apparent had previously been created Earl
of Carrick, became king as Robert II. John, Lord of the Isles,
who had disinherited his first family by Amie MacRuari, died in
1380, and was succeeded by Donald, his eldest son by the Princess.
At that time he was a minor, and till he came of age the family
possessions were administered by his half-brother Ranald. The
following excerpt from the proceedings of Parliament shows
that by 1389 relations between the Princess and her sons-
Donald, Iain Mor Tainisteir, and Alastair Carrach—had become
exceedingly strained. No details are given, but it may be conjectured
that the dispute was not unconnected with some claim
put forward by the widowed Lady of Yle to provisions out of the
family estates. Her grievances, it will be seen, were broughtforward by her eldest brother, afterwards Robert in., and the matter was remitted to her otlier brother Robert, Earl of Fife and
Menteith—afterwards Duke of Albany—who, because of his
father's age and his elder brother's infirmities, had in the previousDecember been appointed guardian of the kingdom.J R N Macphail (ed), '''Highland Papers''', 1914, Edinburgh, University Press by T. and A.

=== Birth ===
There is considerable question regarding the birth year of '''Margaret'''. Her parents, [[Stewart-1001|Robert II Stewart]] and [[Mure-3|Elizabeth Mure]] received papal dispensation to marry on '''22 Nov 1347''' but they were likely already married, without papal approval, '''around 1336'''. While 1342 seems to be the most common year [from WikiTree Profiles] for her birth it is more likely that '''she was born soon after 1336'''.
