This document is not now to be found, but Mr. Cosmo Innes says (Lib.
  Insule Missarum, p. xliii) that he made a note of its purport as given
  above in the Dunrobin charter-room. Sir Robert Gordon, in his
  Genealogy of the Earls of Sutherland (p. 49), gives the purport of the
  document in precisely similar terms, but says that it is dated 28th
  May 1344. Sir James Balfour, in his Catalogue of the Scottish
  Nobility, also gives 1344. The confirmation of this contract by David
  II. is recorded as a “confirmation of a contract of marriage betwixt
  Malisius, Earl of Stratherne, Caithness, and Orkney, and William, Earl
  of Ross.” (Robertson’s Index of Missing Charters, p. 51.)

Footnote 67:

  There is also on record a confirmation by Robert I. of a charter of
  the lands of Kingkell, Brechin, to Maria (Marjorie?) de Stratherne,
  spouse of Malise of Stratherne. (Robertson’s Index, p. 19.)

Footnote 68:

  Chronicle of the Earls of Ross, Mis. Scot., vol. iv. p. 128.

Footnote 69:

  There is an entry in the Chamberlain Rolls, in 1340, in regard to a
  payment by Johannes More, “pro terris de Beridale in Cattania, de
  quibus dicit se hereditarium infeodari per comitem de Strathern et per
  Regem confirmari.” (Comp. Camerar. Scot. i. p. 265.)

Footnote 70:

  Sir James Balfour (Catalogue of the Scottish Nobility) says:—“This
  Earl Malisius was forfaulted by King David II. for alienating the
  earldom of Stratherne to the Earl of Warrenne, an Englishman, the
  king’s enemy, and all his possessions annexed to the crown.” Sir
  Robert Gordon says that the charter by King David granting the earldom
  of Stratherne to Maurice Moray is dated the last day of October 1345.

Footnote 71:

  A dispensation granted by Pope Benedict XII. in July 1339 for the
  marriage of Maurice de Moravia with Johanna, widow of John, Earl of
  Athole, styles her Countess of Stratherne. (Theiner’s Monumenta, p.
  275.) Maurice fell at the battle of Durham in 1346. Johanna, Countess
  of Stratherne, in her widowhood executed a charter in favour of Robert
  of Erskine and his wife, Christian of Keith, her cousin, which is
  confirmed by Robert, Steward of Scotland and Earl of Stratherne in
  1361. (Chartulary of Cambuskenneth, Grampian Club, p. 255.)
