Notes - "In 1445 Isabella also granted her granddaughter Mathilda, James’s sister, and her husband William Edmonstone of the lands of Duntreath in Lennox. It seems that even though neither child of James the Fat sought the rights to Lennox they still lived in the earldom close to their grandmother, and married into the local gentry." (Devlin)
Matilda Stewart and William Edmonstone were second-cousins-once-removed through King Robert III.
"Matilda Stewart, married by 15 February 1445, to Sir William Edmonstone, 1st of Culloden and Duntreath, (he d. in 1473) when they had a charter from her grandmother, Isabella, Duchess of Albany, for the land of Duntreith and others, and was infeft by him in a liferent of his lands of Duntreath on 17 May 1456. They had issue." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland)
"[Alexander Stewart, 3rd of Grandtully] m. by 16 May 1466, to Matilda, daughter of Sir James Stewart, son of Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany, when they had a charter of confirmation, on his own resignation, for the lands of Kiltuly and Aberfeldy, and whose liferent was confirmed to her in their son, John’s charter for the lands of Aberfeldy &c., dated 5 July 1470."
