Mentioned in charters in 1367, 1377, 1384, 1407 and 1410.[1]

Research Notes

It is often stated that Hugh Fraser married Isobell Wemyss. This is an error which seems to be the result of a confusion with his son, also called Hugh. See The Scots Peerage.[6][7]
Many sources number him as "4th of Lovat", but The Scots Peerage states that "... there are no authentic documents known in which any Fraser is styled of Lovat before the time of Hugh Fraser ..."[8]
Fraser contends that the title went to Alexander THEN Hugh.[9]

"Hugh, 2nd son, m. Janet de Fentoun in 1516, d. 1440"

I assume the marriage date was in fact 1416?

The title currently shows that it passed to son Hugh directly but Alexander Fraser says that it went to his elder brother Alexander first. Not having time to fully flesh this out, I added a research item regarding this opinion.
