Sir David Murray, 6th Baron of Tullibardine[1] (c. 1359–1446) was a Scottish nobleman, a member of Clan Murray, and an ancestor of the Dukes of Atholl who lived at the now-destroyed Tullibardine Castle in the 14th and 15th centuries.[2]
In 1446, in his final days, Murray had built Tullibardine Chapel, after receiving a charter from James II of Scotland.[3] The chapel became the burial place of his relatives up until 1900. Today, it is one of the most complete medieval churches in Scotland[4][5] and is now a scheduled monument.[6]
Personal life[]
Murray was the son of Walter (d. 1390) and Margaret Murray.[7]
Murray married Isabel Stewart, daughter of Lord Lorn, John Stewart of Innermeath, who was Scotland's Ambassador to England, an ancestor of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl, and the father of James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn. He died in 1421.
They had the following children:[8]
- Sir William, the eldest, and heir of the family
- John
- Patrick
- Alexander
- Mariotta, who was married to Sir Malcolm Drummond of Cargill, an ancestor of the Earls of Perth
- Isabel, who was married to Malcolm Drummond, then steward of Strathearn
- Christian (possibly Christina), who was married to Murdoch Menteith
Murray was knighted by James I of Scotland at his coronation in 1424.[3]
Death[]
Murray died in 1446 and was buried in the family chapel.[7] An armorial plaque on the north wall of the chancel displays the arms of David and his wife.[4]
