Bruce and Barbara Morrison: When Hugh Giffard III was the age of 9, he was entered into a verbal bond of marriage with the 11 year old Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan. The date of this agreement was about the year 1331. This marriage was never ratified or consummated, and the bond was dissolved by Papal authority on Oct. 12, 1344.
The daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, she initially became the Steward's mistress. He married her in 1336, but the marriage was criticized as uncanonical, so he remarried her in 1349 following a Papal Dispensation dated at Avignon 22 November 1347. She died before her husband inherited the crown at the rather advanced age of 54, and he married again (Papal Dispensation dated 2 May 1355), so she was never queen of Scotland.
They had at least ten children. Doubts about the validity of her marriage led to family disputes over her children's right to the crown. However on 27 March 1371, "The Lord John (who later took the title of King Robert III), Earl of Carrick and Steward of Scotland, first-born son of King Robert II" was declared heir to the Crown by Parliament in Scone Abbey. Dunbar, Sir Archibald H., Bt., Scottish Kings, a Revised Chronology of Scottish History 1005 - 1625, Edinburgh, 1899, p.160-1.

}Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan was the daughter of [[Mure-5|Adam Mure]] but the name of her mother is uncertain. '''[see research note]''' When they were both no more than twenty years of age, [[Stewart-1001|Robert Stewart]] (later Robert II) persuaded Elizabeth to elope with him to his family home in Dundonald, which was about six miles from Rowallan.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), p. 18 There were two impediments to their marriage which may have seemed like serious obstacles to the young couple: (1) they were related in the fourth degree of consanguinity and therefore marriage would require a papal dispensation; and (2) when Elizabeth was eleven years old her parents had contracted her in marriage to nine-year-old Hugh de Giffard, the son of Sir John de Giffard of Yester, Midlothian.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), pp. 19-20 This contract would have to be nullified by both contracting parties and/or their parents. Among the records of John Learmonth, chaplain to the archbishop of St Andrews, is a notation stating that "Robert, great steward of Scotland, having taken away the said Elizabeth, drew to Sir Adam her father ane instrument that he should take her to be his lawful wife, which myself have seen....as also ane instrument in Latin by Roger M'Adam, priest of our Lady Marie's Chapel, that the said Roger married Robert and Elizabeth foresaids."
Elizabeth and Robert spent not only their honeymoon but many years of their marriage happily ensconced at Dundonald. In 1344 they were finally able to get Elizabeth's childhood marriage contract dissolved, it was annulled on the joint petition of Huge Giffard and Elizabeth on the grounds that the marriage had never been consummated. In 1347, Robert Stewart applied for a papal dispensation so there could be no question regarding the legality of their marriage, not necessarily to satisfy his father-in-law, but to ensure his own children's succession to the throne if David II died childless. A special provision in the dispensation legitimized the "multitude prolis utriusque sexus" who had previously been born.Burnett, George (ed). ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: General Register House (1880), vol. 4, appendix to preface, [https://archive.org/details/rotuliscaccariir04grea/page/n157/mode/1up p. cliv]. Not content, however, to leave anything to chance, on 27 March 1371 (the day after he was crowned at Scone) King Robert II had his eldest son John, earl of Carrick, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.Dunbar, Sir Archibald H.

==Research Notes==
::'''Mother of Elizabeth Mure:'''*It is uncertain whether (as Douglas Richardson states) Elizabeth's mother was Adam's first wife, Joan de Cunningham, widow of Hugh de Houston;Douglas Richardson. ''Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families,'' 5 vols, ed, Kimball G. Everingham (Salt Lake City: the author 2013), vol. 1, pp. 615 BRUS 10. Robert Stewart. or whether (as Alexander Moir states) she was Adam's second wife, [[Mure-184|Janet Mure]].Moir, Alexander L. ''Moir Genealogy and Collateral Lines.'' Lowell, Mass: by the author (1913), [https://archive.org/stream/moirgenealogycol1913moir#page/352/mode/1up p. 352]. Richardson does not appear to include in his bibliographic notes any source for naming Joan de Cunningham as Adam's wife. Moir's source for naming Janet Mure, identified as a granddaughter of Ronald More and heiress of Polkellie, is cited as "The Historie and Descent of the House of Rowallan" by Sir William Mure (1657). However, the "Historie" contains so many errors of fact that Moir himself acknowledges that "no reliance is to be placed on the Historie farther back than can be corroborated by concurrent testimony."Moir, Alexander L. ''Moir Genealogy and Collateral Lines.'' Lowell, Mass: by the author (1913), [https://archive.org/stream/moirgenealogycol1913moir#page/351/mode/1up pp. 351-352]. Alison Weir merely states that Elizabeth is the daughter of Adam Mure by either his first wife, Joan Cunningham, or his second wife, Janet Mure.Weir, Alison. ''Britain's Royal Families.'' London: The Bodley Head (1989), p. 215. However, James Dennistoun suggests a third possibility. He believes that Adam Mure's wife and Elizabeth's mother was Joanna Danzielstoun.Dennistoun, James Wallis. ''Some Account of the Family of Dennistoun of Dennistoun.'' Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons (1906), [https://digital.nls.uk/histories-of-scottish-families/archive/95673255?mode=fullsize pp. 2-3] As evidence he cites a portrait of Elizabeth done by George Jameson, reknown Scottish artist, which contains the inscription: "Elizabeth Mure filia Dom...Adam Mure Militis et Joan de Danzelstoun, Rigina Scotorum."It was originally included in the artist's historic 'suite of the queens' and now is in the possession of the marchioness of Hastings (heir of the House of Rowallan). As further proof, he cites numerous grants from Robert II and Robert III to the House of de Danzielstoun in which both kings use the phrase "delectus consanguineus noster," and he notes that several of the charters were actually dated at Finlaystone, which was the chief seat of the Danzielstouns.
::'''(Son) Alexander Stewart, lord of Badenoch:'''*Douglas Richardson gives the date of Alexander's death as "probably within the year ending 25 Marcy 1406." The ''Exchequer Rolls'' (in volume 4) state that he died 24 July 1394Burnett, George. ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: H.M.

Bruce and Barbara Morrison: When Hugh Giffard III was the age of 9, he was entered into a verbal bond of marriage with the 11 year old Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan. The date of this agreement was about the year 1331. This marriage was never ratified or consummated, and the bond was dissolved by Papal authority on Oct. 12, 1344.
The daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, she initially became the Steward's mistress. He married her in 1336, but the marriage was criticized as uncanonical, so he remarried her in 1349 following a Papal Dispensation dated at Avignon 22 November 1347. She died before her husband inherited the crown at the rather advanced age of 54, and he married again (Papal Dispensation dated 2 May 1355), so she was never queen of Scotland.
They had at least ten children. Doubts about the validity of her marriage led to family disputes over her children's right to the crown. However on 27 March 1371, "The Lord John (who later took the title of King Robert III), Earl of Carrick and Steward of Scotland, first-born son of King Robert II" was declared heir to the Crown by Parliament in Scone Abbey. Dunbar, Sir Archibald H., Bt., Scottish Kings, a Revised Chronology of Scottish History 1005 - 1625, Edinburgh, 1899, p.160-1.

== Biography ==

}Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan was the daughter of [[Mure-5|Adam Mure]] but the name of her mother is uncertain. '''[see research note]''' When they were both no more than twenty years of age, [[Stewart-1001|Robert Stewart]] (later Robert II) persuaded Elizabeth to elope with him to his family home in Dundonald, which was about six miles from Rowallan.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), p. 18 There were two impediments to their marriage which may have seemed like serious obstacles to the young couple: (1) they were related in the fourth degree of consanguinity and therefore marriage would require a papal dispensation; and (2) when Elizabeth was eleven years old her parents had contracted her in marriage to nine-year-old Hugh de Giffard, the son of Sir John de Giffard of Yester, Midlothian.Henderson, Thomas Finlayson. ''The Royal Stewarts.'' Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons (1914), pp. 19-20 This contract would have to be nullified by both contracting parties and/or their parents. Among the records of John Learmonth, chaplain to the archbishop of St Andrews, is a notation stating that "Robert, great steward of Scotland, having taken away the said Elizabeth, drew to Sir Adam her father ane instrument that he should take her to be his lawful wife, which myself have seen....as also ane instrument in Latin by Roger M'Adam, priest of our Lady Marie's Chapel, that the said Roger married Robert and Elizabeth foresaids."
Elizabeth and Robert spent not only their honeymoon but many years of their marriage happily ensconced at Dundonald. In 1344 they were finally able to get Elizabeth's childhood marriage contract dissolved, it was annulled on the joint petition of Huge Giffard and Elizabeth on the grounds that the marriage had never been consummated. In 1347, Robert Stewart applied for a papal dispensation so there could be no question regarding the legality of their marriage, not necessarily to satisfy his father-in-law, but to ensure his own children's succession to the throne if David II died childless. A special provision in the dispensation legitimized the "multitude prolis utriusque sexus" who had previously been born.Burnett, George (ed). ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: General Register House (1880), vol. 4, appendix to preface, [https://archive.org/details/rotuliscaccariir04grea/page/n157/mode/1up p. cliv]. Not content, however, to leave anything to chance, on 27 March 1371 (the day after he was crowned at Scone) King Robert II had his eldest son John, earl of Carrick, declared by parliament to be heir to the throne of Scotland.Dunbar, Sir Archibald H.

==Research Notes==
::'''Mother of Elizabeth Mure:'''*It is uncertain whether (as Douglas Richardson states) Elizabeth's mother was Adam's first wife, Joan de Cunningham, widow of Hugh de Houston;Douglas Richardson. ''Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families,'' 5 vols, ed, Kimball G. Everingham (Salt Lake City: the author 2013), vol. 1, pp. 615 BRUS 10. Robert Stewart. or whether (as Alexander Moir states) she was Adam's second wife, [[Mure-184|Janet Mure]].Moir, Alexander L. ''Moir Genealogy and Collateral Lines.'' Lowell, Mass: by the author (1913), [https://archive.org/stream/moirgenealogycol1913moir#page/352/mode/1up p. 352]. Richardson does not appear to include in his bibliographic notes any source for naming Joan de Cunningham as Adam's wife. Moir's source for naming Janet Mure, identified as a granddaughter of Ronald More and heiress of Polkellie, is cited as "The Historie and Descent of the House of Rowallan" by Sir William Mure (1657). However, the "Historie" contains so many errors of fact that Moir himself acknowledges that "no reliance is to be placed on the Historie farther back than can be corroborated by concurrent testimony."Moir, Alexander L. ''Moir Genealogy and Collateral Lines.'' Lowell, Mass: by the author (1913), [https://archive.org/stream/moirgenealogycol1913moir#page/351/mode/1up pp. 351-352]. Alison Weir merely states that Elizabeth is the daughter of Adam Mure by either his first wife, Joan Cunningham, or his second wife, Janet Mure.Weir, Alison. ''Britain's Royal Families.'' London: The Bodley Head (1989), p. 215. However, James Dennistoun suggests a third possibility. He believes that Adam Mure's wife and Elizabeth's mother was Joanna Danzielstoun.Dennistoun, James Wallis. ''Some Account of the Family of Dennistoun of Dennistoun.'' Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons (1906), [https://digital.nls.uk/histories-of-scottish-families/archive/95673255?mode=fullsize pp. 2-3] As evidence he cites a portrait of Elizabeth done by George Jameson, reknown Scottish artist, which contains the inscription: "Elizabeth Mure filia Dom...Adam Mure Militis et Joan de Danzelstoun, Rigina Scotorum."It was originally included in the artist's historic 'suite of the queens' and now is in the possession of the marchioness of Hastings (heir of the House of Rowallan). As further proof, he cites numerous grants from Robert II and Robert III to the House of de Danzielstoun in which both kings use the phrase "delectus consanguineus noster," and he notes that several of the charters were actually dated at Finlaystone, which was the chief seat of the Danzielstouns.
::'''(Son) Alexander Stewart, lord of Badenoch:'''*Douglas Richardson gives the date of Alexander's death as "probably within the year ending 25 Marcy 1406." The ''Exchequer Rolls'' (in volume 4) state that he died 24 July 1394Burnett, George. ''Rotuli Scaccarii Regum Scotorum'' (The Exchequer Rolls of Scotland). Edinburgh: H.M. General Register House (1880), vol. 4, appendix to preface, [https://archive.org/details/rotuliscaccariir04grea/page/n161/mode/1up p. clviii].

Douglas (1905), [https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun02paul/page/263/mode/1up vol. 2, p. 263]. citing in evidence an entry in the ''Exchequer Rolls'' dated 25 March 1406 where Alexander received reimbursement for monies he had expended.Burnett, George.
