Nicola Moray - marriage and death
Nicola Moray's death is quoted by several sources as being in November 1612, and it is said that this was after 18 months of marriage, making that date in May 1611. However, in a long letter to Andrew of July 1612 (no actual date stated, alas), Mr James Melville writes of his merely getting by day by day, reduced to real poverty in his exile in Berwick, now that Nicolas Murray's death has dried up the torrent of liberality and Christian charity, as nothing has come from the court since her sad and lugubrious departure. This comes to me second-hand, and I do not have access to the source. Shipsview (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
