KING OF SCOTLAND From the Imputation of Bastardy by the clear Proof of ELIZABETH MURE Daughter to Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan her being the first lawful Wife to ROBERT the II. then STEWART of SCOTLAND and Earl of Strathern THe Excellence of History is so well writ of by some few that it were Indiscretion to repeat and vanity to add to what they have said yet it is allowable enough to regrate the frequent Error even of great Historians in writing what they too easily believe without sufficient A vouchers and thereby imposeing Falshoods for Truth If these Errors fall on Things and Actions they oft-times cause at least occasion great Mischeifs Thus our Scots Writers tho' justly placed in the first Rank have injured the Nation whilst on Design to give a Frame to our Ius Regni some of them have screwed the Soveraignity up to Precipices Others with as little Truth and less Civility depressing it to unsufferable Lowness whence the great evil of Civil War hath too oft Sprung At other times they have cast dirt on persons either by their Supine Ignorance in not searching Records before they publish their Collections or upon malitious Designs to avenge some Disappointments Amongst others our Historians have foully fail'd in relating what concerned King Robert the seconds Marriage and the Legitimacy of his Succession and the fairest Excuse that can be made for them is to cover their fault with the shade of others who tho' prior to them yet did writ at a great distance from the Actions and Persons of whom they wrote and rushed into Falshoods because they did writ without proof and choosed rather to make a Criminal Noise than to keep Innocent Silence For had our Historians been at the trouble to look into our Records before they wrote our History they had saved mine in vindicating our Royal Line and all the Hereditary CROWN'D HEADS in Europe from the Tash of Bastardie in their Descent from Robert the second King of Scotland and from Elizabeth Mure or More his Wife who in their Relations is falsly stated a Concubine whereas what hereafter follows will prove near to a Demonstration that She was his lawfull Wife so well secured in that Title that her Husband could not be allowed to quarrel it tho' he had inclined to do so as indeed he never did Our four Historians Major Boetius Lesly and Buchanan have followed one another in relating that Robert the STUART of SCOTLAND Grand-child by a Daughter to Robert the first Nephew to David the second whilst he was STUART of SCOTLAND Earl of Strathern had several Children by Elizabeth Mure who was not his Wife and since it were needless to repeat the words of all the four I shall take Buchanans as the last and of greatest credit who speaking of the beginning of King Robert the 2 ds Reign page 318 in the Francfort Edition of his History in Octavo gives this account Rebus ita primo biennio feliciter succedentibus tertio ab inito Regno anno Euphemia Regina Hugonis Comitis Rosiae filia moritur Ex ea ternos Liberos genuer at Walterum posterius Jerniae Davidem Atholiae Comites Euphemiam quam Jacobo Douglassio nupsisse à nobis ante commemoratum est Robertus non tam impatientiâ caelibatus quam amore filiorum ex Elizabetha Mora prius gentorum ipsam Vxorem duxit Hanc enim eleganti formà Adami Mori illustris equitis filiam adhuc adolescens vehementer amaverat ex eaquae tres filios ac duas filias susceperat eamq Giffardo viro nobili in Lothianam curaverat collocandam verum sub idemfere tempus Euphemiâ Reginâ Giffardo Elizabethae marito defunctis Rex sive consuetudine vetere Morae inductus sive quod à multis traditur ut filios quos ex eagenuerat legitimos faceret matrem eorum sibi matrimonio conjunxit filios statim divitiis honoribus auxit Johannes natu maximus Carrictae Robertus Taichiae Alexander Buchaniae Comites sunt facti adjecta etiam Badinacha nec hac munificentia contentus Comitis ad Sconam indictis obtinuit ut praeteritis Euphemiae liberis in Rege creando gradus aetatis observarentur Quae res postea tam numerosam Familiam prope extinxit From
