Early mormaers or earls
The first Mormaer is usually regarded as Ruadrí (fl. Ruadrí of Mar is the first known Mormaer of Mar from the 12th century although that the mormaerdom was much older 1131), mentioned in the Book of Deer. The Book of Deer (Cambridge University Library MS II632 is a 10th century Gospel Book, in Latin, Old Irish and Scottish Some modern sources give earlier mormaers, i. e. Muirchertach (Latinized as Martachus) and Gartnait (sometimes Gratnach), mentioned respectively in charters of the reigns of king Máel Coluim III (relating to the Céli Dé establishment of Loch Leven) and king Alexander I (relating to the monastic establishment of Scone), though in these cases certain identification with a particular province is difficult. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome.

The principal seats of the Mormaerdom were Migvie and Doune of Invernochty. The Doune of Invernochty is an earthwork castle in Scotland. The name is a corruption of Dùn Inbhir Nochdaidh which means in Gaelic, the "Fort The Mormaerdom seems initially to have rotated between two kin-groups, that represented by Morggán, and that represented by Gille Críst. Morggán of Mar, is the first Mormaer of Mar to appear in history as "more than a characterless name in a witness-list Gille Críst of Mar is the fourth known Mormaer of Mar, 1183-1203 The Mormaerdom was split upon the accession of Donnchadh, a descendant of Morggán. Donnchadh of Mar, ( Anglicized as Duncan) is the fifth known Mormaer of Mar, 1203-1244 Donnchadh got the title of Mormaer and the wealthier and militarily more useful upland parts of Mar, and Thomas Durward, a descendant of Gille Críst through the female line, got the coastal, low-lying arable land. Marr is one of six Committee areas in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, bordering Atholl, Badenoch, Gowrie, The Mearns Thomas de Lundin, often referred to as Thomas l'Ussier or Thomas Durward (Tomhas Dorsair was a 13th century Scottish nobleman The line of Mormaers ended when Mormaer Thomas died childless in 1374. Thomas of Mar was a 14th century Mormaer ( Earl) of Mar (1332 &ndash 1374
15th Century
While the eleventh (by some counts) holder of the title, Isabel Douglas, Countess of Mar, was alone at the Kildrummy Castle, Alexander Stewart entered it and forced her to sign a charter on August 12, 1404 yielding the earldom to him and his heirs. Isabel Douglas Countess of Mar (c1360- 1408 was Countess of Mar. Kildrummy Castle is a ruined Castle near Kildrummy, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Alexander Stewart (c 1375 &ndash 1435 Earl of Mar, was an illegitimate son of Alexander Stewart Earl of Buchan and probably Mairead inghean Eachainn Events 1099 - First Crusade: Battle of Ascalon - Crusaders under the command of Godfrey of Bouillon defeat Fatimid She revoked the charter later that year, but on marrying him, she gave him the earldom for life with remainder to her heirs. The King confirmed her last action the next year.
In 1426, Stewart resigned the title so that he could be granted a new one by the King, the new title being more "legitimate". The King did so, but specified that the earldom and associated lands would revert to the Crown upon the death of the Earl. In 1435, the Earl died, and Robert, Lord Erskine claimed the title, but the King claimed its lands under the specifications of reversion made in the patent. The issue remained unresolved until 1457, when James II obtained a court order declaring the lands as crown possessions. James II of Scotland ( October 16 1430, at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh &ndash August 3 1460) reigned as King of Scots Thereafter, he bestowed the title on his son John, who died without heirs in 1479. John Stewart Earl of Mar and Garioch (c 1456&ndashc 1479 was the youngest son of James II of Scotland and Mary of Guelders. It was next granted to James' other son, Alexander, Duke of Albany, but the title was then declared forfeit because of Alexander's alliances with the English. Alexander Stewart Duke of Albany (c 1454 &ndash 7 August 1485) was the second son of King James II of Scotland, and his Queen consort James III created his son John Earl of Mar in 1486, upon whose death in 1503 the title became extinct again. James III (c 1451/1452 &ndash 11 June 1488) was King of Scots from 1460 to 1488 John Stewart Earl of Mar (c 1479 &ndash March 11, 1503) was the youngest son of James III of Scotland and Margaret of Denmark.
16th-18th Centuries
The title was once again created in 1562, for James, Earl of Moray, son of James V, but he, too, could not produce a qualified heir. James Stewart 1st Earl of Moray (c 1531 &ndash January 23, 1570) was Regent of Scotland from 1567 until his Assassination in 1570 James V (10 April 1512 &ndash 14 December 1542 was King of Scots from 9 September 1513 until his death Moray rebelled in 1565 (see Chaseabout Raid) in protest of Queen Mary's marriage to Lord Darnley, so she made (or restored) the earldom of Mar for John, Lord Erskine, heir to the Lord Erskine, heir of the ancient Earls through a cousin of Isabel, who quarreled with James II about the Earldom. The Chaseabout Raid was a rebellion by James Stewart 1st Earl of Moray against his half sister Mary Queen of Scots on 26 August 1565, over Lord Darnley is a title associated with a Scottish Lordship of Parliament first created in 1356 and tracing a descent to the Dukedom of Richmond in John, the sixth Earl counting from 1565, was attainted for rebellion in 1716 (he was also created Duke of Mar in the Jacobite peerage), and the Earldom remained forfeit for over a century.

19th Century
In 1824, the Earldom was finally restored by Act of Parliament (5 Geo. IV c. 59) to John Francis Erskine, the heir of the attained Earl. His grandson, the ninth Earl, successfully claimed inheritance the earldom of Kellie and associated titles in 1835.

At the death of the ninth Earl of Mar and eleventh Earl of Kellie in 1866, the Earldom of Kellie and the family's estates passed to Walter Erskine, the cousin of the late Earl, and his heir male. The title Earl of Kellie is one of the Peerage titles of in the Peerage of Scotland, created in 1619 for Thomas Erskine Successor to hereditary title property office or like in case of the Hereditacy being indivisible goes to one person at a time Meanwhile, it was assumed that the Earldom of Mar passed to John Francis Goodeve, the late Earl's nephew, and his heir general. Successor to hereditary title property office or like in case of the Hereditacy being indivisible goes to one person at a time (An heir-male is an heir in a male line, while an heir-general is an heir in either the male or female line. The terms do not refer to the gender of the holder. ) Goodeve changed his name to Goodeve Erskine; his claim was agreed upon by all. He even participated in the election of representative peers for the Peerage of Scotland. In the United Kingdom, representative peers were individuals elected by the members of the Peerage of Scotland and the Peerage of Ireland to represent them However, the Earl of Kellie submitted a petition to the House of Lords asking that the Earldom of Mar be declared his, dying before it could be considered. The House of Lords is the second house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and is also commonly referred to as "the Lords" His son, the thirteenth Earl of Kellie, renewed the petition, and the Lords referred it to their Committee on Privileges. The petition made a number of claims:
- The original Earldom of Mar was a territorial title rather than a title of peerage and was therefore "indivisible. " (In other words, the territory could not be separated from the title. )
- Alexander Stewart obtained a new Royal charter for the Earldom, rather than receiving it in right of his wife Isabel.
- After the death of Alexander Stewart, his lands were passed to the Sovereign in accordance with the charter, and thereafter were disposed of by the Crown.
- As the territorial Earldom was "indivisible," upon the termination of the territory, the earldom must have ended also.
- Therefore, since the territorial Earldom had already become non-existent, Queen Mary's 1565 grant was not a revival of that title. Rather, it was a totally new creation, this time in the form of a peerage title.
- Since the instrument of Queen Mary's 1565 grant cannot be found, the presumption ought to be that the Earldom passes to heirs-male, and not to heirs-general. Thus, the Earl of Kellie is entitled to the Earldom of Mar as he is the late Earl of Mar's heir male, while John Goodeve Erskine was an heir-general.
Goodeve Erskine had different ideas, however. He portrayed the Crown's takeover of the territorial Earldom not as pursuant to a charter, but rather as an act of tyranny. He argued:
- James I, in a tyrannical act, seized the lands of Alexander Stewart, when these should have passed to Robert, Lord Erskine.
- The "true" Earls never agreed to terminate their claim to the Earldom.
- Queen Mary's 1565 grant was a restitution of the old territorial Earldom rather than a new creation.
- Because the title is a restoration of a territorial Earldom, and because the territorial Earldom could pass to heirs-general, John Goodeve Erskine was the rightful heir, being the late Earl of Mar's heir-general.
The House of Lords Committee on Privileges ruled in 1875, to the dissatisfaction of many, that the Earldom of Mar was newly created in 1565, passed only to heirs-male, and therefore belonged to the Earl of Kellie, and not to Goodeve Erskine. The Lord Chancellor, Roundell Palmer, 1st Baron Selborne, declared it to be "final, right or wrong, and not to be questioned". The Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, or Lord Chancellor is a senior and important functionary in the Government of the United Kingdom.
However, there was a sentiment that the Lords had decided wrongly. A bill was brought to Parliament, to allow Goodeve Erskine to assume the title, and was passed without dissent. The Earldom of Mar Restitution Act declared that because of the doubts relating to the 1565 creation, it would be assumed that there are two Earldoms of Mar. The Earldom created in 1565 would be held by the Earl of Kellie. The ancient Earldom, however, was declared to be still in existence, and was given to John Goodeve Erskine. For the purposes of precedence, it is assumed that the Earldom held by Goodeve Erskine's heirs was created in 1404.
