6th Earl of Mar Donald de Maraka Ehislach (Domhnall I) 
Donald was born in 1243 in Kildrummy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.1 Donald's father was Sir William de Maraka 5th Earl of Mar and his mother was Elizabeth Comyn. His paternal grandparents were 4th Ear of Mar Duncan of Mar and Orabillis of Nessius; his maternal grandparents were Earl of Buchan, Great Chancellor William Comyn and Countess of Buchan Margaret Marjorie Colhan. He was an only child. He died at the age of 54 on July 25th, 1297.1 General Notes
Domhnall I, Earl of Mar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domhnall I Earl of Mar - Domhnall mac Uilleim (Donald, William's son) - was the seventh known Mormaer of Mar, ruling from 1276 until his death somewhere between 1297 and 1302.
Domhnall was a strong supporter of the Bruce cause during the crisis of the late 13th century. He was at Norham in 1292, probably in the camp of Robert de Brus, then Earl of Carrick.
He was married to Helen (sometimes called Ellen), who herself had previously been married to Mormaer Maol Choluim II, Earl of Fife. By Helen, he had three sons, including his successor Gartnait, and two daughters. His daughter Isabella of Mar was the first wife of Robert I of Scotland and mother of Marjorie Bruce.
The last record of a living Domhnall comes from 1297, and the earliest record of his son Gartnait as Mormaer is from 1305, creating the range of Domhnall's possible year of death to somewhere in between these two points. However, a document dating to 1302,[1] containing terms of reconciliation between Edward I and Robert, stipulates that Robert should act as warden of Gartnait, implying that Domhnall had just died.
