abt 1352: to appease a feud, a marriage was arranged between Sir Robert and Christian MENTEITH, for which they asked a dispensation from Rome, as she and Beatrix LINDSAY were related in the fourth degree. The dispensation was applied for in the time of Pope Clement VI, who died 6 Dec 1352, before issuing it; they were deceived by the clerk who was entrusted with the application and who wrote that he had finished his business. The parties taking this to mean the dispensation was obtained, married, and had issue, but discovering their error the renewed their petition, which was not granted. The marriage was declared valid and the children legitimate. It would thus appear that Sir Robert had issue by this second wife, but they apparently did not survive [Ref: SP V p595]
