Moray

Moray was a Scottish earldom on the southern shore of the Moray Firth, with its cathedral at Elgin. In 1337 Earl John Randolph was joint regent for the exiled David II.

John died without an heir at Neville's Cross in 1346. After the division of 1372, Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch, held the uplands; his men burned Elgin and its cathedral in 1390. In 1562 the earldom was granted to James Stewart, half-brother of Mary, Queen of Scots.
