Some web sites identify James's wife as Agnes Randolph, dau of Thomas, Earl of Moray, but we have not seen this supported by convincing evidence and, noting that the earldom of Moray was later obtained by a son of Agnes's younger sister, we follow TSP in believing that "The identity of his wife has not been ascertained." | |||||||||||||||

Not mentioned by TSP but also described as a daughter of Earl Archibald was the following Mary. We would normally presume that she had just been missed out by TSP but it has been pointed out to us (DMcA, 06.04.05) that a grandaughter of King Robert would probably have been well recorded. It is possible that either she was illegitimate or that she has been misidentified. | |||||||||||||||
