[S.J by his first wife, Ingebiorge, widow of Earl Thorium of Orkney. His claim, besides that he was the lineal heir, would commend itself to the Gaelic and Norwegian population, rather than that of the reigning house, descended from the Saxun Princess Margaret, the second wife of Malcolm. See Skene's " Celtic Scotland " (1880), vol. iii, p. 05. (<1) The Editor has availed himself of au able article on " the Earls of Stratherne, 1340-1332," by Joseph Bain, F.S.A. (" Qenealugitt," N.S., vol. v, pp. 105-108) as to the account here given of this and the three succeeding Earls, all four named " Malise," a fact that makes their identification very difficult. It should, however, be stated that the learned author of that article only puts it forth as tentative. He remarks (most truly) that Wood's Douglas's l'ccraijc [S.J "iH a jumble of confusion regarding these four Earls."
