@Erica Howton: Does anyone know the barons of Menstrie from start to finish in order of succession?
When it comes to figuring out children and wives it gets very confusing and I wonder if getting closer to the source would make it easier. I wonder if there are any European sources that would have more exact information?
Wikipedia doesn’t have a lot

(Would have to search for the article in TSP)
Maybe we can find something more detailed.
