Sir Robert Gordon says John, 8. Earl of Sutherland, married a daughter of Alexander Macdonald, Lord of the Isles, though no proof is forthcoming. Sir Robert adds that this lady was nearly drowned while crossing the ferry at Unes, and was found in a state of weakness and slain by a robber. She must have been his first wife.
In February 1497-98 there were preparations for a divorce between Fingole and the Earl of Sutherland, which the Lords of Council referred to the Vicar-General of Caithness.
