  === Life Sketch ===
  Isabel, 2nd wife of Walter Stewart 6th High Steward of Scotland.
  Not to be confused with his 1st wife Marjorie Bruce who died in March 1316.
  
  Believed to be the daughter of Sir John Graham of Abercorn & his wife Isabella.
  
  Married Walter Stewart 6th High Steward of Scotland after the death of his 1st wife in March 1316. Marriage likely took place in 1317.
  
  Together they had 3 children:
  - John Stewart of Ralston.
  - Sir Andrew Stewart, knight.
  - Egidia Stewart, sometimes identified as Giles or Jill, who married three times: firstly to Sir James Lindsay of Crawford Castle; secondly to Sir Hugh Eglinton of Ardrossan; and thirdly to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith.
  
  Isabel was also the step-mother of Robert Stewart who became King Robert II of Scotland. Robert's biological mother, Marjorie Bruce, was the 1st wife of Walter Stewart and the daughter of King Robert I of Scotland. She died giving birth to Robert, therefore, Isabel was the only mother that Robert Stewart knew.
  
  PARENTAGE
  Sources conflict on who Isabel's parents were.
  
  Scots Peerage (Volume 6 pages 195-197) identifies 'Isabella', as the wife of Walter, High Steward of Scotland and the daughter of Nicholas de Graham of Dalkeith and his wife Mary of Strathearn, as well as the sister of John Graham of Abercorn.
  
  The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy identifies 'Isabel' also as the wife of Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland, therefore we know the sources are for the same woman. But it identifies her as the daughter of John Graham of Abercorn (d.25 Apr 1337) and his wife Isabella, not his sister, and the granddaughter of Nicholas de Graham of Dalkeith and his wife Mary of Strathearn. This relationship is more likely.
  
  Isabel's marriage to Walter Stewart is her only recorded marriage. If she were the daughter of Nicholas and Mary she would likely have been born between 1270 and 1280. Isabel married Walter, as his 2nd wife, about 1317, his 1st wife was still alive in 1316. If she were the daughter of Nicholas and Mary, Isabel would have been approaching 40 or 50 in 1317. A very unusual age for a woman's 1st marriage. Walter was born in 1296 and is not likely to have married a woman 20 or more years his senior. If Isabel were the daughter of Nicholas she would have been at the end-of or past childbearing age in 1317, which we know is not the case for she gave Walter Stewart 3 children.
  
  Chronologically it is much more probable that Isabel was the daughter of John. As such it would be reasonable to date her birth to about 1295/1300, this would make her age 17 to 22 in 1317, a much more reasonable age for her marriage. Reasonable for a 1st marriage, reasonable considering the age of her husband, and reasonable considering the birth of their children.

   Note: PAGES 194 TO 197 GRAHAM, DUKE OF MONTROSE Sir Nicholas of Dalkeith, Abercorn, and Eskdale, who, in a charter to the monks of Melrose of their lands of Halsington, is styled ' primo genitus Domini Henrici de Graham.'... He married, before 1269, Maria, younger daughter of Malise, Earl of Strathearn, by his wife Marjory de Muschamp, co-heiress of the barony of Muschamp (including Wooler, Belford, and Lowick) in Northumberland.7 By the death of her sister Muriel, Countess of Mar, in 1291 s.p. she became vested in the whole of her mother's moiety of the barony.8 On 14 June 1306, as widow of Sir Nicholas, she did homage to King Edward upon his restoration of her seisin of the half-barony of Muschamp, and she died between 1314 and 1318.9 The children of Sir Nicholas were : — (a) Sir John of Dalkeith, Abercorn, and Eskdale. In an inquest at Bamborough with regard to his mother's half of Muschamp, 19 May 1306, he is said to be twenty-eight years of age.10 He was one of the sup-porters of Baliol included in the capitulation of Sir John Comyn at Strathord 1303-4. l Having joined the fortunes of Bruce, Edward n., twelve days before the battle of Bannockburn, granted to his favourite, Hugh le Dispenser, and Alianora his wife, a charter of all the lands and tenements in Scot- land forfeited by John de Graham, the King's enemy and rebel.2 At first at feud with the monks of Melrose, he eventually granted to them full confirmation and an enlargement of the original grants by the Avenel family of their lands in Eskdale, which confirmation was ratified by King Robert, by charter dated 25 December 1316. 3 Sir John made a donation to the Abbey of Dunfermline of the patronage of the church of Newlands in Peeblesshire, 1317.4 Along with his kinsmen, Sir David de Graham and Sir Patrick de Graham, he affixed his seal to the celebrated letter of the Scots Barons to the Pope, asserting the independence of their country, 6 April 1320. His estates were forfeited to Edward in., and he died 25 April 1337, leaving a widow, Isabella, who had a terce of his lands in Crichton, apparently exempted from the forfeiture, and a lease of the other two-thirds. Their children were : — A. Sir John de Graham, filius, last of Dalkeith, Abercorn, and Eskdale, who parted with those estates, finally resigning Dalkeith in favour of Sir William Douglas de Laudonia 6 January 1341- 42.7 On his death the direct male line of the elder branch of the family of Graham ended. B. Sybilla (?), married to Sir William More, and, on the resignation of her father or brother, succeeded to the barony of Abercorn.1 C. Margaret, said to have been married to Sir William Douglas de Laudonia, the ' Knight of Liddesdale, ' though his only known wife was named Elizabeth. (See title Morton.) It may, however, have been a marriage with a Graham which carried to the family of Douglas Dalkeith, Kilbucho, and Newlands in Peeblesshire, and the lands of Eskdale.2 (6) Isabella, married (as his second wife) to Walter, High Steward of Scotland, sometime husband of Marjory Bruce, daughter of Robert I., and by him, who died 1326, had a son, Sir John Stewart of Ralston, and other children.

4. Title: Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
   Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Stewart,_6th_High_Steward_of_Scotland#Marriages_and_children;
   Note: Walter Stewart (c. 1296[1] – 9 April 1327) was the 6th Hereditary High Steward of Scotland and was the father of King Robert II of Scotland, the first Stewart monarch. Origins He was born at Bathgate Castle,[1] West Lothian, Scotland, the eldest son and heir of James Stewart, 5th High Steward of Scotland (c.1260-1309) by his third wife Giles (Latinised to Egidia) de Burgh, a daughter of the Irish nobleman Walter de Burgh, 1st Earl of Ulster.[2][3] Career At the age of 21 Walter fought against the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314[4] where according to some sources, together with Douglas he commanded the left wing of the Scots' army,[5] but according to other sources was (due to his youth and inexperience) merely the nominal leader of one of the four (or three[6]) Scottish schiltrons, the effective leader being his cousin James Douglas, Lord of Douglas.[7] For his services at Bannockburn, Walter was appointed Warden of the Western Marches and was rewarded with a grant of the lands of Largs, which had been forfeited by King John Balliol. In 1316 Stewart donated those lands to Paisley Abbey.[8] Following the liberation of King Robert the Bruce's wife, Elizabeth de Burgh, and daughter Marjorie, from their long captivity in England, Walter the High Steward was sent to receive them at the Anglo-Scottish Border and conduct them back to the Scottish royal court.[5] He later married Marjorie, receiving the Barony of Bathgate in Linlithgowshire as part of his wife's dowry.[9] During the absence of King Robert the Bruce in Ireland, Walter the High Steward and Sir James Douglas managed government affairs and spent much time defending the Scottish Borders. Upon the capture of Berwick-upon-Tweed from the English in 1318 he took command of the town which subsequently on 24 July 1319 was besieged by King Edward II of England. Several of the siege engines were destroyed by the Scots' garrison whereupon Walter the Steward suddenly rushed in force from the walled town to drive off the enemy. In 1322, with Douglas and Thomas Randolph, he made an attempt to surprise the English king at Byland Abbey, near Malton in Yorkshire, but Edward escaped, pursued towards York by Walter the Steward and 500 horsemen.[5] In about 1320/26 Walter, Steward of Scotland, granted by charter to John St. Clair, his valet, the lands of Maxton, Roxburghshire, one of the witnesses being Roberto de Lauwedir tunc justiciario Laudonie ("Robert de Lauder, then Justiciar of Lothian").[10] Marriages and children He married twice: Firstly in 1315 to Princess Marjorie, the only daughter of King Robert I of Scotland by his first wife Isabella of Mar. Marjorie died in March 1316 giving birth to their only child:[11] King Robert II of Scotland (born 1316-died 1390), the first monarch of the House of Stewart who reigned as King of Scotland from 1371 to his death in 1390. Secondly he married Isabel de Graham, believed to have been a daughter of Sir John Graham of Abercorn, by whom he had three further children:[12] John Stewart of Ralston. Sir Andrew Stewart, knight. Egidia Stewart, who married three times: firstly to Sir James Lindsay of Crawford Castle; secondly to Sir Hugh Eglinton; and thirdly to Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith. Death and burial He died on 9 April 1327 at Bathgate Castle and was buried in the Abbey Church of Paisley, alongside his first wife, Marjorie Bruce, and his five High Steward ancestors. A memorial on the wall of the Abbey is inscribed as follows:[13] In everlasting memory of the High Stewards of Scotland. Here rest their bodies where stood the high altar of this Abbey Church of Paisley.
