[edit] Clear up marriage issue?

From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy shown that James Stewart was married to Egidia de Burgh and had children:

Can anyone clear up or follow up this marriage issue? I don't have any access to the original sources that placed Cecilia being married to the 5th High Steward, not Egidia.

Interestingly: Egidia was also known as Gille de Burgh: http://www.thepeerage.com/p466.htm#i4655

Update: Just happened to notice the existence of Cecilia de Dunbar being married to James:

However, FMG have no citation of her being married to James. I have no way of getting FMG editors to check out or update the information. I tried it with them last year on other issues but no follow-up from them. :( Sundehul 18:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I am a member of the FMG. I will check. Many of these women lived short lives. He may have married twice. Regards, David Lauder (talk) 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate that! :) Sundehel 17:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
