She appears to have been granted the Earldom of Buchan, probably on the occasion of her marriage, her husband thus becoming jure uxorisi^) EARL OF BUCHAN [S.], and being spoken of as having "hadthecomplimentmadehimofthetitle of Earl of Buchan.

The passage from this writer's Chmnijck van Zeelandt is given in a note by G. W. Watson in The Genealogist^ N.S., vol. xvi, p. 136. V.G. C') See an able article by G. W. Watson, in The Genealogist, N.S., vol. xiv, pp. lo-ii, entitled "Wolfart van Borssele, Earl of Buchan." This gives full particulars of him and his ancestry, and furnishes almost entirely the facts and state- ments in the above notice. (') He is thus spoken of in Burnett's Genealogy of the Stewart family in the preface to vol. iv of the Exchequer Rolls [S.] 1880, and on the M.I. his wife is described as "Marie van Schotland dochter van Jacop, Koning van Schotland, Gravinne van Bouchane," a description which suggests a suo jure Countess, and which is not given to her husband's Ji-caW wife. See also note " f" below. (^) Yair's Account of the Scotch Trade in the Netherlands, p. 80, as quoted in an article by A. W. C. H. Alien in the Scottish Antiquary, vol. iii, p. 141 (1889). (') In 1487 he sold the Comte of Grandpre, which his father had purchased. (') In 1469, or certainly in 1476 (that is to say after the death [1465] of the Countess Mary, but long before that of her husband, Wolfart [1487]), the Earldom of Buchan was undoubtedly again disposed of, being then conferred on James Stevi^art.
