The Life Summary of Elizabeth Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan was born on 2 March 1320, in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland as the daughter of Adam Mure and Janet Heiress Pokelli Mure. She married Robert Stewart II King of Scotland on 22 November 1335, in Kyle, Ayrshire, Scotland. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 6 daughters. She died on 2 May 1354, in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, at the age of 34, and was buried in Abbey, Renfrewshire, Scotland. https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/L89H-F4Y/elizabeth-mure-of-rowallan-1320-1354 Elizabeth Mure was the first wife of Robert, High Steward of Scotland, and Guardian of Scotland (1338–1341 and from October 1346), who later became King Robert II of Scotland. Elizabeth was the daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan and his wife Janet Mure of Pokellie, she was born about 1320 at Rowallan Castle. Elizabeth and Robert married in 1336, when Robert was not in line to inherit the crown. They did not seek permission from the Pope before marrying, therefore, their marriage was considered uncanonical. Because of this she is often considered his mistress and their children illegitimate. King David II was captured by the English in 1346 and Elizabeth\'s husband became Guardian of Scotland, Regent in David\'s absence and King of Scotland in all but name. Facing renewed scrutiny and criticism of their marriage and wanting their children to be acknowledged as legitimate, Robert applied to the Pope for a dispensation which was received 22 November 1347. Robert and Elizabeth married for a 2nd time, officially, in a church wedding, in 1349. Elizabeth and Robert were married for about about 19 years but only officially (by church standards) for about 6. Elizabeth did not live to see her husband become King of Scotland but is believed to have died in 1354, certainly before May 1355 when Robert married for a 2nd time. Elizabeth and Robert had the following children: - John Stewart, Earl of Carrick who became King Robert III - Walter Stewart, Lord of Fife - Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c. 1340–1420) - Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan - Margaret Stewart, married John of Islay, Lord of the Isles - Marjorie Stewart, married firstly, John Dunbar, Earl of Moray, and secondly, Sir Alexander Keith - Johanna (Jean) Stewart, married firstly, Sir John Keith, secondly, Sir John Lyon, and thirdly in 1384, Sir James Sandilands. - Isabella Stewart, married firstly, James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas, and secondly, John Edmonstone of that Ilk - Katherine Stewart, married Sir Robert Logan of Grugar and Restalrig, Lord High Admiral of Scotland - Elizabeth Stewart, married Sir Thomas Hay, Lord High Constable of Scotland.
