Sir William Seton purchased her wardship on 7 March 1408 for a liferent of 50 merks from the barony of Tranent. Sir William betrothed her to his eldest son Sir John Seton but he declined preferring a daughter of the Earl of March; Elizabeth was then married to his younger brother, Alexander Seton, who in 1406 was a prisoner along with the future king James I of Scotland.[2] Huntly Castle, originally called Strathbogie, erected by Sir Adam de Gordon, Lord of Gordon, Elizabeth's father. Elizabeth and Alexander wed in 1408.[3] He acquired through his marriage to Elizabeth Gordon the lands of Gordon and Huntly, confirmed to them on 20 July 1408.[3] This was according to custom of the time that Elizabeth Gordon, of her own free will, resigned her lands before Parliament at Perth and she and the Regent Albany issued a new charter of "All and whole of the lands and baronies of Gordon and Huntly lying within the sheriffdom of Berwick; the lands of Fogo and Faunes with their pertinents; the lands of Strathbogie and Beldygordon with the pertinents in Aberdeenshire; to be held by the said Alexander and Elizabeth and their heirs lawfully procreated; whom failing the true and lawful heirs of the said Elizabeth whomsoever; rendering the services used and wont."[2] Three years later, Alexander fought at the Battle of Harlaw and was knighted before 1419.[4] In 1421–2 he traveled to France and visited King James of Scotland. Alexander Seton was one of those who negotiated for the release of the Scottish monarch and was a hostage for his king, but was released after a year in England to return to his family in Scotland.[4] In that same year Alexander and Elizabeth were granted a charter for half the lands of Culclarochy and part of Gerry in the barony of Drumblade.[5] About 1436 Alexander was created a Lord of Parliament as Alexander Seton, Lord Gordon.[4] In 1428, Alexander and Elizabeth were granted a dispensation from the pope long after their marriage when it was determined they were within the forbidden degrees of consanguinity; the dispensation stating that Alexander Seton had contracted marriage with Elizabeth, the heiress of Gordon, "per verba de presenti publici, juxta morem patriae" (Latin: publicly in accordance with all customs of the time).[2] Elizabeth died at Strathbogie on 16 March 1439 while Alexander died in 1440–41.[6] Elizabeth was buried at St. Nicholas Church in Aberdeen.[7] Family The children of Alexander Seton and Elizabeth Gordon were: Alexander Seton († 1470), succeeded his parents, took the name of Gordon and was created 1st Earl of Huntly[7] William Seton († 1452), married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William Meldrum of Meldrum, ancestor of the Setons of Meldrum[7] Henry Seton († 1452) killed with his brother William at the Battle of Brechin[7] Elizabeth Seton, married to Alexander of Islay, Earl of Ross († 1449)[7]
