English Noblewoman and Countess of Fife. Her mother was Joan of Acre, daughter of King Edward II of England.
Her mother faced intense disapproval of King Edward when she secretly married a squire in her household, Ralph de Monthermer. Ralph was imprisoned in Bristol Castle until Joan pleaded her case to the king. In early August, 1297, King Edward relented, released Ralph, and bestowed upon him the earldom of Gloucester, Hereford and Atholl. After Joan's death, he was known as 1st Baron Monthermer.
Mary married Donnchadh (Duncan) IV, Earl of Fife (1289-1353) on November 7, 1307. They had one surviving daughter, Isabella, Countess of Fife (13200-1389).
In 1332, Mary and her daughter were captured at Perth by supporters of King David II of Scotland. In 1346, Mary's husband was tried for treason and sentenced to a traitor's death by Edward III of England. He obtained mercy, but died 3 years later.
