  • Notes 
    • "[H]eiress of her family, said to have been abducted by her future husband, their subsequent marriage caused 'gret stryffe' among their kinsmen." [The Ancestry of Charles II, citation details below]

      According to The Scots Peerage, she was "presumably sister (or perhaps cousin) of Alexander de Seton, the husband of Margaret de Ruthven." This Alexander de Seton was a son of Sir John Seton who died after 1327, himself a son of Sir Alexander Seton, the defender of Berwick in the siege of 1333, and his wife Christian Cheyne.
