Notes for James Hepburn 4th Earl of Bothwell
Notes for James & Anna Kristoffersdatter (Family)
Anna ble lovet ekteskap med Earl James Hepburn 4th Earl of Bothwell, rundt ca 1560.
The marriage was considered legitimate under Dano-Norwegian law
[3], but was, and is still, treated as dubious or invalid, by English and Scots historians. For this reason, most English books refer to her, incorrectly, as a "mistress", or jilted lover.
