[edit] Who did he marry?

This page states he married Marjory Comyn; Genealogics (linked) calls him 7th earl (same death date though, so talking about the same man) and has him married to Cecelia FitzJohn; Nigel Tranter marries him to Christian Bruce (dau Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale). A novelist, I know, but he must have some source. That's not the only difference: genealogics says his mother is Euphemia de Brus, not Stewart (as stated on Patrick II). Now I am thoroughly confused.Gwinva 20:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You are right, Leo at genealogics shows that he married Cecelia FitzJohn and it was their *son* who married Marjory Comyn. I've changed this entry to match what genealogics shows, since that site also lists it's sources explicitely. Wjhonson 07:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
