.1493), but this is almost certainly a fabrication. He abducted and seduced her to spite her brother, James III; there is no contemporary evidence for their marriage. Their clandestine union produced the following
illegitimate issue
:

1  Margaret Crichton (
d
. by 1546); she married firstly William Todrik of Edinburgh (
d
. by 1507), and secondly George Halkerstoun (killed at Flodden, 1513), and had issue. She married thirdly George Leslie, 2nd Earl of Rothes (
d
.1513), and had issue.
