EUPHEMIA ROSS, the 2nd wife and only queen of Robert II, was the d aughter
of Hugh De Ross, 4th Earl of Ross. She was probably born between abou t
1325 and 1330, but this is very uncertain. Her mother was the earl's 2nd
wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir David Graham of Montrose. Euphemia's
parents were granted a dispensation to marry, and a legitimation of past
and future c hildren born to them, 29 November 1329.
She had married 1stly, John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray, who was killed
at the disastrous battle of Neville's Cross , 17 October 1346, leaving her
a childless and vulnerable widow of, at the mo st, 21 years of age, and
probably rather younger.
She married 2ndly (dispens ation granted by Pope Innocent VI at Avignon, 2
May 1355), as his 2nd wife, R obert Stewart, Earl of Strathearn, who
succeeded to the throne as Robert II, 22 February 1371. She gave him 2
sons and 2 daughters. See: Genealogical Note s page. She was crowned at
Scone by Alexander De Kyninmund II, bishop of Aber deen, in 1372.
She died in 1387, predeceasing her husband by about 3 years, bu t the
exact date and the place of her death and burial seem to have gone
un recorded. She must have been a very good-natured and long-suffering
lady, put ting up with the numerous and flagrant infidelities of her royal
husband. Her personal charm and beauty may be inferred from the fact that
both her daught ers possessed those qualities in a marked degree.
