Compare 1587 edition: 1 She was the wyfe of Alexander Boyis lord of that houſe, though by reaſon ſhe was got in|to poore apparell, the Engliſhmen tooke hir but for ſome other woman of meaner eſtate.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 She therefore with hir lyfe ſaued being ſuffe|red to depart, got hir ouer into Ireland, where ſhe was delyuered of a ſonne, that was named at the Font ſtone Alexander, the whiche when Scotlãd was recouered out of the Engliſhmẽs hands, came to king Robert le Bruce, requiring him to be reſtored vnto his fathers heritage, be|ing as then in the occupation of other poſſeſſors.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 2 King Robert doubtfull what to doe heerein, for he thought it neyther cõuenient that a prince ſhoulde take landes or poſſeſſions from noble menne, whyche hadde bene gyuen to them in rewarde of theyr manhoode, ſhewed in defence of the realme, neyther iudged hee it reaſon to keepe hym from his rightfull inheritaunce that hadde loſte hys father, his friendes, and all his whole ſubſtaunce in the lyke cauſe and quarell by iniurie of the common enimies. Where|fore to qualifie the matter, hee deuyſed thys meane: he gaue vnto thys Alexander Boyis cer|tayne other landes in Mar, nothyng leſſe in value, (conſideryng the largeneſſe and fertilitie) than the other of Vrquharde were: and willed hym to content hym ſelfe with thoſe, in recom|pence of ſuche as belonged to his father: to the intent that all parties myght bee ſatiſfied, and no man ſhoulde ſeeme to haue wrong in being depriued of his rightfull poſſeſſions.
