The account in Scots Peerage for the family of Fraser, Lord Saltoun says of Sir Andrew Fraser (d. before 23 May 1306) that the name of his wife is unknown, "though it is probable that she belonged to the family of le Chen of Duffus,...' [1] . This is based on statements and conjectures in Alexander Fraser of Philorth's work on the family, based largely on a 1363 recitation of a letter of Robert I, King of Scots dated 6 Nov 1312 concerning settlement of a dispute between Mary de Moravia, widow of Reginald le Cheyne, and Sir Alexander Fraser [2].
Unfortunately, no additional details have come to light as to which lands were involved in the dispute, or what rights Sir Alexander Fraser relied on or sought to exercise. While it is true that Sir Andrew Fraser had certain lands (also unidentified) in Caithness by right of his wife, it appears that the statements in Scots Peerage and The Frasers of Philorth are only slightly in error as other evidence of a relationship has been noted.
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.
Heraldic evidence (the seal of Margaret Fraser, wife of Sir William Keith) and the dispensation for the marriage of Muriel Keith's cousin John Keith to Reginald's siser Mariota le Cheyne (for affinity, not consanguinity) make it clear that the relationship of Muriel Keith and Reginald le Cheyne was traced through the unnamed 1st wife of Sir Alexander Fraser [4]. It is evident that the rights in Caithness which Sir Alexander Fraser sought to enforce involved not an inheritance of his own as alleged by Fraser of Philorth, but rather that of his deceased wife and their son and heir, John Fraser of Aboyne and Auchterstruther.
