  • Notes 
    • d/o Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, Ayrshire and Janet Mure.
      ——
      She initially was Stewart’s mistress. He married her in 1336, but the marriage was criticised as uncanonical, so he remarried her in 1349 following a papal dispensation dated at Avignon 22 November 1347.
      They had at least ten children, and some accounts say as many as thirteen. Doubts about the validity of her marriage led to family disputes over her children's right to the crown.
