  Margaret, Lady of Seton, presumably sister (or possibley first cousin) of Alexander de Seton, the husband of Margaret de Ruthven, and granddaughter of the ex-Governor of Berwick, was married, apparently in or after 1347, to Alan de Wyntoun, who may perhaps have been a distant kinsman of her own. Andrew de Wyntoun tells of the abduction in that year of the young lady of Seton by Alan de Wyntoun (whom some have supposed his own relative) and gives a circumstantial account of what followed. he relates that 'for that maryage fell gret stryff': that 'Wyntoun's war,' as it was called, was such that
  "in Lowthyane as men sayde
  Ma than a hundyr plwys war layde;'
  and adds that William of Murray in Edinburgh Castle heartily supported and aided the agressor. Bower, writing perhaps forty years later, follows Wyntoun (except that he gives a different and much less probable date for the affair), and adds that Alan de Wyntoun was brought before the King's Court, at the instance of the young lady's relatives, to answer for forcible abduction; that the fate of the convicted culprit was left to her decision, a sword and a ring being presented for her choice; and that she chose the latter, after which the marriage took place. Her husband assumed the cross, apparently while still a young man, owing (according to Bower) to intrigues against him on the part of her realtions, and died in the Holy Land.
