3. Elizabeth of Rowallan Mure, daughter of Sir Adam of Rowallan Mure and Jannet UNK of Polkelly, was born. She appeared in the census. She died before 1354. She married Robert II Stewart KING OF SCOTLAND.

 

Elizabeth Mure (Muir) was said to be born at Rowallan Castle. Her parents were Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan or Rawalla, Ayrshire and Joan Cunningham[1] or Janet Mure of Ponkelly or Pokellie[2].

She initially became the Steward'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.

She died before her husband inherited the crown at the rather advanced age of 54, and he married again (Papal Dispensation dated 2 May 1355), so she was never queen of Scotland.
