• Notes

  Isabel, said to have been married, first, to Patrick Lord Glamis, and, secondly, to Gilbert, first Lord Kennedy, and to have died in 1484. Source: THE SCOTS PEERAGE, ed. by Sir James Balfour Paul, Vol I, Edinburgh, 1906, pp. 111-113 ------------------------------ Judging from the period at which their children began to take an active part in public life, the marriage of Lord Glamis with Isobel Ogilvy, daughter of sir Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen, must have taken place soon after his return from England in 1427. After her first husband's death, Lady Glamis married Gilbert, first Lord Kennedy, who she also survived. She had a full share of the pugnacity of the race from which she sprang. She fought her sons, her tenants, her neighbors, and her creditors, and had a tough struggle with the representatives of her second husband for the possession of the family place On 20 June 1480 she entered into an indenture with the Prior and convent of the Preaching Dominicans, Friars of Ayr, who with consent of Brother John More, Vicar-General of that order in Scotland, agreed, in return for a liberal endowment of lands in the town and sheriffdom of Ayr, to perform divine service for the benefit of the souls of James and Margaret, King and Queen of Scotland, of Isobel herself, and her father and mother, and of Patrick, Lord Glamis, and Gilbert Kennedy, Lord of that Ilk, her husbands. After Lord Kennedy's death, who was succeeded by his son by a previous marriage, her ladyship was reconciled to her family, and returned to Forfarshire. 'She in her widdoweheid finished the old House of Glams, built the two ston bridges, and the ille in the Kirk of Glames, wherein, with her first husband, she was interred in anno 1484, as the inscription upon the tomb bears witnes.; By her, Lord Glamis had issue: 1. Alexander, second Lord Glamis. 2. John, third Lord Glamis 3. William of Pettanys. He obtained a charter of Easter Ogil ... 4. Patrick, Styled brother-german of Alexander, Lord Glamis 5. Elizabeth, married, before 1 April 1460 to Alexander Robertson of Strowane. Source: THE SCOTS PEERAGE, ed. by Sir James Balfour Paul, Vol VIII, Edinburgh, 1906, pp. 270-3. ------------------------------ ... the marriage of Patrick, lord Glamis, and his wife, Issobel Ogilvy, who is said to have been a daughter of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen, must have taken place soon after Patrick's return from England in 1427... After her first husband's death, lady Glamis married Gilbert, first lord Kennedy, whom she also survived. Her motherhood to Alexander and John, who succeeded in turn to the honours of the house, is proved in the course of her numerous litigations, for she had her full share of the pugnacity of her race. She fought her sons, her tenants, her neighbours, and her creditors, and had a tough struggle with the representatives of her second husband for the possession of the family plate. After the death of lord Kennedy, (who was succeeded in that title by John, second lord Kennedy, his son by a previous marriage), lady Glamis was reconciled to her family, and returned to Forfarshire; and in the ms. of 1631, it is recorded that "she in her widdowehead finished the old house of Glamis, built the two ston bridges and the ille in the kirk of Glames wherin with her first husband she was interred in anno 1484 as the inscription upon the tomb bears wittnes." There were at least four children of the marriage: 1. Alexander, who succeeded as second lord Glamis 2. John, who succeeded as third lord Glamis 3. William of Pettanys and Easter Ogil 4. Elizabeth, wife of Alexander Robertson of Strowane Source: THE LYONS OF COSSINS AND WESTER OGIL, Cadets of Glamis, by Andrew Ross, Edinburgh, 1901, pp. 15-16. -----------------------------
