Personal Info
Her tragic fate is a matter of history. A strong attachment took place between her and the Duke of Rothesay, afterwards King James IV The nobles were not in favour of a third Drummond Queen in the royal family. About 1496 she was living at Stirling under the charge of Sir John and Lady Lundy of that Ilk, then keepers of the Oastle. In October of that year she was removed to Linlithgow, and her expenses are mentioned in the Treasurer's Accounts, sometimes under the initials M. D. About 1497 she bore a daughter to the King, who was afterwards married to John, Lord Gordon, and then to her kinsman, Sir John Drummond of Innerpeffray. Shortly after April 1502 Margaret Drummond, together with her sisters Euphemia and Sibylla, while residing at Drummond Castle, were seized with illness after partaking of food, and died after much suffering, not without strong popular suspicion of poisoning.5
