Research Notes:
Before her marriage to Robert Stewart, the future 1st Duke of Albany, Muriel Keith was dispensed to marry the 'last' Reginald le Cheyne of Duffus. The following text concerns the faculty to dispense her marriage to Reginald de Cheyne, dated at Fondi, 14 Jan 1378/9:
'Reg Aven 215, 50 To the bishop of Moray. Faculty to dispense Reginald Cheyn, donzel, and Murielle, damselle, daughter of Sir William de Keth, of Moray and Aberdeen dioceses, from the impediment to marriage arising from the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity. Fondi, 19 Kal. Feb., anno 1. SRO Vat. Trans., iv, no. 46.' [3] [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 1/7/2010-222207]

her marriage to Reginald le Cheyne likely never took place [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 12/5/2005-002947]

dispensation needed for marriage because Robert Stewart had previously had carnal relations with a woman related to Muriel in the 4th degree of consanguinity [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p618]
