Discussion

It does not appear when the Earls of Stratherne first obtained the rank of Earls Palatine. The style is not given, in any of the documents now collected, during the time of the old family ; though the dependent bishop, and the officer bearing the title of ‘the Earl's Chancellor,’ certainly argue somewhat like palatinate privileges. After the ancient line had failed in the direct male descent, and when Maurice de Moray, created Earl by David II., had fallen at the battle of Durham in 1346, leaving no issue, King David bestowed the great earldom upon his nephew Robert, the High Steward, afterwards King Robert II. On his accession to the throne (in 1370) Robert II. granted the earldom of Stratherne to his son David, (his eldest son by his second queen, Eufam of Ross,) and in his favour, if not sooner, it was erected into a palatinate ; for five years later we find David, styled Earl Palatine of Stratherne, taking part, along with the Queen his mother, in a contract of marriage between the Queen's sister Jonet de Monymuske and Alexander de Moravia of Drumsergarth ; while Walter de Moravia, his brother, is to have to wife (if he choose) the eldest daughter of the said Lady Jonet de Monymuske.^y

25. Indenture 1375. This very curious indenture is printed in the Appendix to the Preface, from the original. It was long ago published by Anderson in the Diplomata.
