Extract

James Kennedy, Bishop of St Andrews from 1440 to 1465, was a man of great importance and eminence in the political as well as in the ecclesiastical history of Scotland. He was the third son born to Sir James Kennedy of Dunure and his wife, the Princess Mary. His father belonged to a widely connected family, which traced its descent from Walter the sixth High Steward of Scotland, and through him was related, though indirectly, to the Royal family of Bruce. On his mother's side the Bishop was of Royal descent and was even more widely connected, for the Princess Mary was a daughter of Kobert the Third and elder sister of James the First of Scotland, and was four times married. Sir James Kennedy was her second husband, for she had been married to the great George Douglas, Earl of Angus. The Bishop was the third son born of her marriage to Sir James Kennedy, and after the death of the Bishop's father she married William, Lord of Graham. (Her fourth husband was Sir William Edmondstone of Culloden.)
