Annabella of Scotland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annabella_of_Scotland

Annabella of Scotland (ca 1433 – after 1471) was the youngest daughter of King James I and Joan Beaufort.

First marriage:

Her first husband was Louis of Savoy, Count of Geneva whom she married in 1447 on either April 1 or December 14. However, in the year 1458 they separated, divorced and the marriage was annulled upon the request of Charles VII of France.

Second marriage:

Annabella returned to Scotland and married George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly. Notwithstanding this alliance, her ill fate pursued her, and she was legally divorced from her second husband by a sentence pronounced in the year 1471 which proceeded on the ground of consanguinity with his first wife, Elizabeth Dunbar, 8th Countess of Murray, as the two ladies were within the third and fourth degrees of relation.

Issue

Annabella and her second husband, the Earl of Huntly had issue:

Isabella (d.1485), wife of William Hay, 3rd Earl of Errol (d.1507).

She was thought also to have been mother to another five of his children, however this is thought improbable.

[What is certain is that there were no sons.]

Comments from Douglas Hickling via Rootsweb database

"Probably the last and most authoritative word on Annabella's children as the Countess of Huntly belongs to Alison Weir in BRITAIN'S ROYAL FAMILIES, at 232. She regards Isabel as the only probable child of Annabella's marriage to the earl. She says that "Annabella was also possibly, but improbably," the mother of Janet, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Agnes. Weir shows no sons resulting from this marriage, and says that it is "highly improbable" that Alexander, 3rd Earl of Huntly, was her son. Obviously, if Alexander was not Annabella's child, then neither were the younger sons and daughters. Without mentioning him, Weir seems generally to agree with Ferrerius in identifying Annabella's children by the second earl. My own view is that, had Riddell not erroneously copied the date of the 1466 writ as 1476 or had Elizabeth Hay been the royal princess instead of Annabella, the Gordon family historians would have continued to follow Ferrerius."
