Joanna was the daughter of Thomas de Isaac and Matilda Bruce . Robert I, king of Scots, was her maternal grandfather, and David II, king of Scots, was her uncle.[1] [2][3]
Historians have speculated that David II may have personally arranged Joanna's marriage to John MacDougall, whom he most likely convinced to return to Scotland to reclaim the lands his family had once held in Argyll.[4] David was interested in having a strong ally in the north to keep the MacDonald clan in check, and one of his first actions on being released from captivity in England in 1358 was to confirm John MacDougall's possession of his family's lands in Lorn.[5]
Joana married (first) John MacDougall, Lord of Lorn, sometime before 1362.[6][7][8][2] There were two daughters from this marriage:
In 1369 King David II granted Joanna and her husband the lands of Glenlyon in Atholl, to hold until he was able to grant them lands elsewhere of a similiar value.[7] The following year, it was ordered that a quantity of foods abundant in the highlands (i.e. malts, barley, etc) be delivered every year for use in the kings various households, including the household of "the lordship of John of Lorn."[7]
John of Lorn was living during 1370, but died probably before September 1372.[7] The last time his name appeared on any official record was 12 October 1371 when Mariota, the widow of Ewen M'Yuar, mortgaged her lands to "John MacAlan, lord of Lorn" for forty pounds sterling.[11]
Joanna married (second), sometime after Sept 29, 1372 (the date of a charter) and by a papal dispensation dated 12 July 1377 Sir Malcolm Fleming, Knt of Biggar, Lanarkshire, and Cumbernault, and Sheriff of Dumbartonshire.[12][7] There were no children from this marriage.
The exact date of Joanna's death is unknown, although she appears to have predeceased her second husband. She was buried at Cambuskenneth Abbey in Stirlingshire.[13]
