Text source

In 1627, Margaret, Lady Gray, the daughter of Sir George Elves, petitioned the Scottish Privy Council stating that Sir Andrew Gray [SSNE 378] had married her 12 years previously in Stockholm in the presence of Gustav II Adolf, but that she had been so neglected by him since then that "she is unable to express the miseries she has suffered". Margaret requested that any money due to Andrew be paid to her. She states in this petition that she was in the service of Gustav Adolf's mother (Kristina av Holstein-Gottorp).
