Biography

Scottish flag

Agnes was born about 1455 and said to be the daughter of John Houston of that Ilk.[1][2]

She married James Livingston, 3rd Lord Livingston before 6 Jun 1491,[3][2] likely c. 1478 but before 6 Jun 1491. They had issue:

  1. William, the heir
  2. Elizabeth

She was certainly alive in 1501 when on 30 January 1501, the King confirmed to James, Lord Livingston, and Agnes Houston his spouse, the lands of Slamannan, Terrinterran, and Kippen, in the barony of Callendar.
