Mariotta Haliburton, Lady Home, was a 16th-century Scottish noblewoman. She varied the spelling of her forename between ''Mariotta'', ''Marion'', and ''Mary''. She is remembered for her defence and negotiation of the surrender of Hume Castle after the Battle of Pinkie when the castle was surrounded by an English army. Afterwards she continued to struggle for the rights of her people at the village of Hume in the Scottish Borders, writing both to the English commander and the Scottish leader. ==Family== Mariotta was the daughter of Patrick Haliburton of Dirleton Castle and Christine Wawane. She and her sisters Janet and Margaret were Patrick's heirs when he died in 1515.〔Ewan, Elizabeth, & Meikle, Maureen M., ed., ''Women in Scotland'', Tuckwell (1999), 169 & fn. 25.〕 She married George, Lord Home before 7 April 1529. Their children included; * Alexander Home, 5th Lord Home. * Andrew Home, Commendator of Jedburgh and Restenneth. * John Home of Coldenknowes. * Margaret Home, who married Alexander Erskine of Gogar, mother of Thomas Erskine, 1st Earl of Kellie. * two other daughters.〔HMC, ''12th report part 8; Athole & Home'', London (1891), 100.〕 Mariotta's eldest sister, Janet, married William Ruthven, 2nd Lord Ruthven. Margaret married George Ker of Faldonside. On 22 June 1535, James V of Scotland confirmed Mariotta and George's ownership of lands forfeited by Alexander Home, 3rd Lord Home in return for their good service against the English enemy.〔''Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, 1513-1546'', HM General Register House, Edinburgh, (1883), nos. 772, 1480, 1552.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mariotta Haliburton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
