Scottish Democratic Alliance - dedicated to re-energising Scotland Mar Clan History Scottish Clans Tartans Kilts Crests and Gifts One of the 7 ancient kingdoms of Scotland, the rulers of this kingdom were known as ‘Mormaer’ an ancient Pictish form of Earl. The Earldom of Mar lies in Aberdeenshire between Dee and Don among spectacular scenery. Donald Mormaer of Mar fought alongside the great Irish King Brian Boru against Norse invaders in 1014. ‘Rothri’ a later Mormaer is named in the charter erecting the abbey of Scone in 1114. William, the 5th Earl was a regent of Scotland and Great Chamberlain of the Realm in 1264. Earls of Mar supported Robert the Bruce and were closely connected in marriage – William’s granddaughter was married to Robert while his Grandson, Gratney married Bruce’s sister. The 9th Earl died with no heir and title passed to his sister and to her daughter Isabel. James II intervened in later successions and claimed the Earldom for the crown through Alexander Stewart and so the Earldom passed into Stewart family.
