Queen Margaret of Logy, the second consort of King David de Bruys, has been hitherto considered, by all our historians I believe without exception, as the only Scottish queen whose filiation and family are unknown. Even the late Mr. Riddell, nothwithstanding his well-known legal acumen and profound antiquarian research, was unable to, do more than prove that Margaret was notthe daughter, but the widow of a Logie, although she had been hitherto designated the daughter of Sir John of Logy in all the histories of Scotland, both old and new, where her parentage is stated. The accurate Lord Hailes styles her merely “Margaret Logie,” while in his Appendix, showing the succession of the kings of Scotland, with their marriages, children, and time of their death, he writes—“2. Margaret, daughter of Sir John Logie, Knt, 1363. She survived her husband.” (Annals of Scotland, edit. 1797, vol. ii., pp. 284–5, 288–9, 375–6; III. Append., p. 115 seq.; and third edit., 1819, vol. ii., pp.314–5, 318–321, 460–1.)
