Research Notes:
she is said to have been the daughter of Sir Alexander Seton of Seton in SP II p273, and is called daughter of Sir Alan de Seton at CP IV p509. However, the Earl's daughter Elizabeth, on 24 Apr 1438, asked for prayers for the sould of Dunbar and Wardlaw family members (SP II p275-6). Elizabeth was obviously remembering her father's family and then her mother's family. [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v13-254(112)]

Andrew MacEwen has identified George's wife (and Elizabeth's mother) as Christiana Wardlaw. Her father is as yet unidentified, but either Christiana's mother, or a grandparent, had to be closely related (and a yet unidentified) for this relationship to be valid. [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 3/7/2007-080037]

shared her husband's exile in England, with her children [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v13-254]

Jun 1407: with husband, received a grant of 90 pounds from the English King [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v13-254]

Jun 1407: signed a letter to Henry IV as "The Countess of March of Scotland" [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v13-254]
