ELIZABETH MURE, the 1st wife (thoug h never queen) of Robert II, is a
shadowy figure of whom little is known. Her father was Sir Adam Mure of
Rowallan and she was probably born in about 1315 , the year after
Bannockburn. She and Robert lived together for some years be fore their
marriage, during which time she bore him 9 children. They finally married
by special dispensation of Pope Clement VI, 22 November 1347, by whic h
all their children were legitimated per subsequens matrimonium.
At this ti me Robert was still only Earl of Strathearn; thus, although
Elizabeth became Countess of Strathearn, she was never queen of Scots,
since she died before h er husband ascended the throne. From the fact that
Robert married again in 13 55, we must infer that Elizabeth had died by
that date.
