Hello All,

In December 2003, I had conjectured that the wife of Sir
Alexander de Abernethy (d. ca. 1316) was an otherwise unidentified
daughter of Alexander, Earl of Menteith (d. ca. 1306) [1].
This was based largely on the evidence of various 14th
century dispensations.

In speaking with Andrew B. W. MacEwen this evening, he has
advised me that he has found conclusive evidence that the lady in
question was in fact a daughter of Earl Alexander of Menteith. He
further stated that her identification as ' Lady Margaret de
Abrenythy ', a lady of the court of Queen Isabella of England in
1311/1312 [2], is important, and most likely correct.

The evidence Andrew mentioned will be cited in a forthcoming
article, and cannot be divulged at this time for that reason.
However, he did extend permission to mention the existence of this
evidence to the newsgroup so that this identification can be noted
as correct.

A brief ahnentafel of the ancestry of Mary de Abernethy, one of
the daughters and coheirs of Sir Alexander, will be provided in a
followup post.

Cheers,

John *
