Agnes de Glassary
(Abt 1344 - Abt 1400)
== Biography ==
Eldest daughter of Gilbert de Glasssary, probably born at Finchurn Castle, Glassary although Gilbert had large possessions 100 miles east in and around Dundee. Gilbert held the lands of Glassary in Argyll but also the barony of Dundee with a large estate there in Angus and Perthshire. Having wealthy holdings in Dundee, it is not surprising that Agnes was married to Alexander Scrymgeour the Constable of Dundee. On 10 Oct 1359 in a preliminary contract of marriage for his daughter Agnes, Gilbert granted to Alexander Scrymgeour, her future spouse, the lands of lands of Strathmartine and Baldovie.Inventory of Documents Relating to the Scrymgeour Family Estates, 1611. No. 97 In 1368 Gilbert made an Indenture of Agreement with Alexander Scrymgeour leasing to Alexander the lands of Balruddery and Benvie.Registrum de Panmure Vol.ii p177 see ((https://archive.org/stream/registrumdepanm00ofgoog#page/n237/mode/2up)) On 3 May 1374 by a charter under the Great Seal Gilbert entailed most of his lands except his ten-merklands to Alexander Scrymgeour and Agnes.RMS Vol.i. 461 see ((https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.35112105151130;view=1up;seq=195))
On the death of Gilbert, this entail brought to his daughter and her husband the large estate of the Barony of Dundee with lands in Forfar and Perthshire and the Barony of Glassary in Argyll. The Scrymgeours thus gained the Barony of Dundee presumably including Dudhope as the Barony of Dudhope was the later name.The many properties which had belonged to Gilbert's great-grandfather, Ralph de Dundee, are shown in the Inventory of Documents Relating to the Scrymgeour Family Estates, 1611 published by the Scottish History Society in 1912.The Scrymgeours also adopted the arms of Agnes' forbears, the MacGilchrsit of Glassary differentiating the Lion Rampant from Argent to Or.
