~ Patrick Graham of Kincardine ~
"Sir Patrick Graham of Dundaff and Kilpont"
Birth: 10 November 1382 - Kincardine, Montrose, Angus, Scotland
Death: 10 August 1413 in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Sir Patrick Graham married Eupheme, Countess of Strathearn, (only daughter of David, Earl of Strathearn, eldest son of King Robert II., by his second marriage with Euphemia Ross). In right of his wife, Graham became Earl of Strathearn, and also brought himself and his descendants into the great struggle, in which the children by King Robert's second marriage claimed the crown on the pretext that the King's first marriage to Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan had not been a lawful one. This Sir Patrick Graham was killed in 1413 by Sir John Drummond, and left an only child, Malise, also known as Earl of Strathearn. It was he whom King James I. deprived of the earldom, on the plea that it was a male fief, and made Earl of Menteith instead; and it was this action which moved the Earl's uncle, Sir Robert Graham, to renounce his allegiance, and to plot and carry out the assassination of the King at Perth. It should be remembered, however, that in this plot Earl Malise himself seems to have had no share. He lived till 1492, and left three sons, from the eldest of whom descended the Earls of Menteith and Airth, and from the second, Sir John Graham of Kilbryde, near Doune, known for his valour as "Sir John with the bright sword," the Grahams of the Debatable Land, now represented by the Grahams of Esk, of Netherby, and of Norton-Conyers, and of whom came Sir Richard Graham, Viscount Preston, who was twice arrested and twice pardoned for the part he played on the side Qf James VII. during the troubles of the Revolution.
