Parents
Family life
Sir David ("the Trustworthy") Fleming, of Biggar, Lenzie and Cumbernauld, and Isobel de Strathechin, heiress of Monycabock, were married circa 1371. Monycabock may have been Isobel's dowry because Sir David Fleming was to let it to Alexander Stewart (Earl of Mar) in 1405, more than twenty years before Isobel's brother Geoffrey died. She would not have become Monycabock's heiress until after her brother's (apparently childless) death.1,2
