Re: "IMPORTANT NOTE" - "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry for 'Keith, William, SIXTH Earl Marischal (1614–1671), nobleman, was the son of William Keith, FIFTH Earl Marischal (c.1585–1635), and Lady Mary, daughter of John Erskine, Earl of Mar'." I have visited the final resting place of George Keith (c.1553-1623), son of William Master of Marischal Keith(d.1580) and grandson of William Keith (d.1581) from whom he inherited the title of Earl Marischal. The epigraph reads: "This building first erected in 1582 was restored by the University of Aberdeen in 1913. It covers the last resting place of George Keith 5th Earl Marischal. He founded the Marischal College in Aberdeen in 1593 and is interred here along with other members of his famous house. The hoarse seawinds and caverns of Dunnottar singing vague requiem to his honourable line and him in the imaginations of some few." The "important note" should be excluded, since this shows that is is the Oxford Dictionary, not this article, that is infact confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.231.169.9 (talk) 15:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
