https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartnait,_Earl_of_Mar
Gartnait of Mar, also known as Gartnait mac Domhnaill (Gartnait, Donald's son), was 
the eighth known Mormaer of Mar, ruling from somewhere around 1301, perhaps as 
early as 1297, until his death in 1305. He was a son of Domhnall I of Mar.

The precise identity of Gartnait's wife is uncertain, although she seems to have been 
an elder daughter of Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick.[1]

The last recorded instance of his father occurs in 1297, and there are possible 
records of his son Gartnait as Mormaer in 1302, and definite records in 1305. Gartnait 
himself is known to have collaborated with Edward I of England in some form during 
the crackdown of 1297, but this does not necessarily mean any break with his father 
or with Robert I, whom his father supported.

In 1302, a document containing terms of reconciliation between Edward I of England 
and Robert stipulates that Robert should act as the warden of Gartnait,1 implying that 
Gartnait's father Domhnall had just died.
