| Marriage |
Bef Aug 1395 |
- In 1395 Elizabeth and David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay and heir apparent to the throne of Scotland were betrothed. They applied to the Pope for permission to marry and it was granted on 10 August 1395, but they were impatient and married before that.
Unhappy that the couple had not waited for permission, the Pope issued a dispensation dated 10 March 1397 stating that Elizabeth and David could 'remarry' after a period of separation.
Instead of remarrying, King Robert and David annulled the betrothal contract and David became betrothed to Mary Douglas instead.
1399, Incensed, the Earl of March demanded that the marriage between Elizabeth and David go through, at the least the betrothal monies paid should be refunded. King Robert refused.
1400. Incensed at the treatment of his daughter, the insult to his family and by the kings alliance with his biggest rival. The Earl of Dunbar threatened to do 'something unheard of and unusual'. True to his word, George de Dunbar renounced his titles, and his allegiance to Scotland, and moved his entire family to England and the court of King Henry IV.
