According to this profile.... Alan Grant, husband of Darvagilla of Fife was born approximately 1100.... however, my calculations would put him closer to 1160 (plus or minus 10 years). The children of Alan Grant and his wife Darvargilla would have been born approximately sometime between 1198 to 1220 when Darvargilla is guestimated to have been about 50 years old (1220) that is if she and her husband were born approximately 1160-1170...........
The issue with this profile is .first, the parents of Alan, Patrick and Fergusia, are both listed as being born about 1020..... which would have put Fergusia at almost 180 years old.....................................Also, Alan is listed in this profile under the "ABOUT" section as...... "Alan 2nd. Allan, only Son to Patrick Grant of Freuchy, succeeded in his Fathers inheritance of Freuchy and Balachastle, a man of aspiring inclinations, particularly zealous for revenging MacPead, the murder of his brother in law, Duncan, King of Scotland"...............................
There seems to be at least one generation missing here... the last I knew there has only been one woman close to 100 who ever birthed a child, and her name was Sarai, the wife of Abram. the uncle of Lot...Fergusia, by this profile, would have been at least 150...outdoing even Sarai.......
If the birth dates of the children Alan & Darvargilla are correct, then, Patrick Grant of Freuchie and his wife Fergusia MacAlpin are more likely grandparents, or even great-grandparents, of this person rather than his parents.... especially since he is recorded as Alan 2nd..... and, not, for example.... Alan - 2nd Laird of Freuchie
