Elizabeth Stewart, Countess of Crawford explained

Elizabeth Stewart, Princess of Scotland was the daughter of Robert II of Scotland and Euphemia de Ross.^[1] She was born between 1356 and 1370, well after her parents' marriage on 2 May 1355.^[2] Her brothers were David Stewart, Earl of Strathearn and Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, and her half-brother was Robert III of Scotland.^[3]

She married David Lindsay on 22 February 1375. Her dowry was the barony of Strathnairn in Inverness-shire. In 1398, her father granted Lindsay the title of 1st Earl of Crawford. Elizabeth was styled as Countess of Crawford following the grant. They had seven, possibly eight, children:

• Gerard Lindsay (d. before 1421)
• Ingram Lindsay, Bishop of Aberdeen (d. 1458)
• Marjorie Lindsay, married Sir William Douglas. They were parents of Catherine Douglas.
• Alexander Lindsay, 2nd Earl of Crawford (c. 1387–1438); married Marjory of Dunbar and had issue.
• David Lindsay, Lord of Newdosk (1407–?); he became a priest.
• Elizabeth Lindsay; she married Sir Robert Keith.
• Elizabeth Lindsay (1407–?); married Robert Erskine, 1st Lord Erskine; she may have been confused with her sister of the same name, and it is possible that they were one and the same person.
• Isabella Lindsay (1407–?), married Sir John Maxwell of Pollok, and had issue.

They presumably lived at Crawford Castle.
