This purported royal ancestry is not supported by recognized sources. Richardson in Royal Ancestry, Vol 4. pp 582-583 sets forth the children of Henry of Scotland and Ada de Warenne. He does have a daughter Margaret or Margery for this couple, but she married (1) Conan IV of Brittany and (2) Humphrey de Bohun. She didn't marry a MacGregor.

The cited Browning book is not an acceptable source for applications to recognized lineage societies, see i.e., Order of the Crown of Charlemagne https://www.charlemagne.org/krslwksh.html

Finally, the mundia link simply sends me back to my Ancestry tree (broken link?) and the Ancestry link takes the reader to a tree that lacks sourcing.

I have found a source that lays out this Gregg, Gregor, MacGregor clan lineage. It is Bartlett, Joseph Gardner, “Ancestral line of Clark Chamberlain Gregg,” circa 1925. It is available at Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/ancestrallineofc00bart/page/13/mode/1up and electronic black and white copy available at Seekingmyroots https://www.seekingmyroots.com/members/files/G002530.pdf copy also available at NEHGS library, Call No: CS71 .G8175 192- (out for scanning) https://library.nehgs.org/search/a?searchtype=t&searcharg=Ancestral+line+of+Clark+Chamberlain+Gregg&SORT=D

This paper includes sourcing information, but it is in bulk at the end. I would have preferred to have sources linked to individual facts, but the information presented seems to mostly track other reports on this clan. This is a clan that has received some attention. It includes Rob Roy MacGregor, made famous by Sir Walter Scott and Liam Neeson, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Roy_MacGregor

I propose that the entire biography of this wife of Duncan MacGregor (MacGregor-668) be deleted. I see no evidence of royal roots for her. She should simply be included as “an unknown daughter of Lindsay of Bucknull” until additional reliable information has been discovered.

I would also like to ask the Scottish Project to review the Bartlett source and include what is considered reliable.
