Notes about Thomas of Mar 9th Earl of Mar

[Isiaha Lee.ged]
[Thomas C. Renehan.ged]

Thomas, Earl Of Mar [SCT], only son and heir of Earl Donald by Isabel his wife.  He was born about 1330, being still under age 15 January 1347/8, shortly after his mother's death, when he was committed to his stepfather's charge; and was a knight before the end of 1350.  He must have been of age in June 1351, when he was one of the Scottish magnates coming to Newcastle to treat of peace with the English commissioners.  In June 1357 he had a safe conduct to come to Edward III in England, and in October of that year was one of the 8 peers of Scotland of whom 3 were always to be in residence in England as hostages for King David's ransom.  Upon the death of his grandmother, Christian Bruce, he had a charter, 27 January 1356/7, of the lands of Garioch in fee and heritage, and thereafter styled himself Earl Of Mar and Lord of Garioch.  In 1358 and 1359 he was Great Chamberlain of Scotland.  From the beginning of 1359 till the autumn of 1373 he spent much time in England, paying occasional visits to France, and in 1367 obtaining protection for a pilgrimage to Santiago. ; On 24 February 1358/9 he did homage to Edward III at Westminster, undertaking to serve him against all men, except only the person of Sir David De Bruys, his lord, in return for which he was to receive an annuity of 600 merks for life, or until the King should provide him with a marriage to his liking.  The Earl's relations with King David are obscure, but were certainly not always cordial after the time of his homage to Edward.  In 1361 David besieged and took Kildrummy Castle, and it was still in the hands of the Crown in 1364.  About 1370 he was under arrest at the Bass.  He married, 1stly (dispensation 15 August 1352 and 29 May 1354), Margaret Graham, suo jure Countess Of Menteith [SCT], widow of John MORAY, of Bothwell.  She was divorced before February 1358/9, when the Earl was in a position to marry again.  He married, 2ndly, Margaret, suo jure COUNTESS OF ANGUS.  He died s.p., between 22 October 1373 and 21 June 1374, when William, Earl of Douglas, husband of his sister and heir Margaret, styles himself Earl of Douglas and Mar.  His profligate widow, who, in his lifetime or very shortly afterwards, was mother of a bastard son, George Douglas, afterwards [1389) Earl of Angus [SCT], was living (being styled Countess of Angus and Mar) as late as 23 March 1417/8.
