• Notes

  Princess Annabella Stewart was the youngest daughter of King James I an d h i s w i f e, Joan Beaufort. Her date of birth is not provided in source m a t e r i al but, based on life events and her position in the family, might b e p r e s u med to be circa 1435. She was betrothed on 14 December 1444 to Louis of Savoy, count of Genev a ( a n d l a ter King of Cyprus). He was eight years old at that time. The f o l l o w ing year (1445) Annabella was taken to Savoy for the marriage cere m o n y . S he was about ten years old, and her groom was nine. On 3 March 1 4 5 5 / 6 t he Bishop of Galloway and the Chancellor of Savoy agreed, in the p r e s e n ce of King Charles VII, that the marriage should be dissolved. The g r o o m ' s father agreed to pay 25,000 "for the damages and interests of th e w i f e " a nd for Annabella's expenses in travelling back to Scotland. Th er e w e r e n o known children from this marriage. She married, secondly, before 10 March 1460, as his second wife, Sir Ge o r g e G o rdon, then Master of Huntly. George was five years younger than L o u i s , h er first husband. He had married (first) at the age of fourteen, t h e w i d o w Elizabeth Dunbar, who was thirty years of age. That marriage w a s e v e n tually dissolved on grounds on consanguinity. Confirmation of th e m a r r i age of Annabella with George Gordon is noticed in a grant of lan ds b y h e r b r other James II made to George and Annabella joint l y on th e d at e o f t h eir marriage. In May 1466, Gordon started divorce proceedings, on the basis of consan g u i n i ty, and was divorced on 24 July 1471.
