Euphemia de Ross

Euphemia de Ross

Euphemia de Ross (died 1386) was the second wife and first Queen consort of Robert II of Scotland.

She was a daughter of Aodh, Earl of Ross and Matilda Bruce, sister of Robert I of Scotland. She first married John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray but the marriage was childless. Her husband died in 1346 and she remained a widow for nine years.

On May 2, 1355, Euphemia married Robert Stewart, sole son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland and Marjorie Bruce. Marjorie was a daughter of Robert I of Scotland and his first wife Isabella of Mar. Robert was however a son of Marjorie, Countess of Carrick and her consort Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick.

A daughter of the Countess and Earl of Carrick was married to her paternal grandfather Uilleam II, Earl of Ross; making Uilleam II their son-in-law and by some definition Aodh, their grandson of sorts. Though not actually related by blood, their marriage could still be considered incest and a papal dispensation by Pope Innocent VI was required for it to be recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.

Euphemia and Robert were parents to five children:
*David Stewart, 1st Earl of Caithness (d. bef. 1389)
*Walter Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl (d. 1437)
*Margaret Stewart
*Elizabeth Stewart, married 1380 David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford
*Egidia Stewart, married 1387 Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale

Robert II succeeded his childless maternal uncle David II of Scotland in 1371. Euphemia became his Queen consort and served in this position for about fifteen years.
