• Notes

  MARY STEWART, was born about 1429, the fifth daughter of James I of Scotland and Lady Joan Beaufort. in 1444, Mary was created the 1st Countess of Buchan. She was also married that year to Wolfert VI van Borselen, a Zeelander nobleman, in Veere, Zeeland, Netherlands. He was the son of Hendrick van Borselen, Count of Grandpré and Jean van Halewyn. They had two children who died young. (Their son Charles had died in 1451). The marriage stimulated commercial relations between Scotland and the Low Countries. Mary had five sisters and two twin brothers, one of whom died in infancy. Her surviving brother became James II of Scotland. Her sisters married into various European royal dynasties: • Margaret became the dauphine of France, but died childless at age 20, apparently of fever. • Isabella became the duchess of Brittany and had two daughters. • Eleanor, married a Habsburg archduke and lived in Austria, but died without offspring. • Joan (a deaf-mute), stayed in Scotland and married a Scottish earl, leaving four children. • Annabella (the youngest sister), was twice married and twice divorced and had children with her second husband, a Scottish earl. In 1464, her husband was a Marshal of France, and he was later created Wolfart VI, Lord of Veere and Count of Grandpre. He was also called the Earl of Buchan. Mary died on 20 March 1465, (30 to 40 years old), without surviving issue. She was buried in Sandenburg, ter Veere, Zeeland. After her death, her husband married Charlotte de Bourbon, daughter of Louis I, Count of Montpensier. Their daughter Anna married a grandson of Philip the Good. Wolfart died 1487. Note: In 1469 The title of Buchan was conferred on her half-brother James Stewart (her mother's son by her second marriage), who was called the 1st Earl of Buchan.
