I know nothing about Mar except as a name connected with the Jacobite rising I barely studied, so I can't comment on Grundy's assessment of his personality.
Lol Wikipedia:
Mar married his second wife Lady Frances Pierrepont, daughter of Evelyn Pierrepont, 1st Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull. The match was a success in that it finally provided Mar with the funds to begin to clear his inherited debts. Lady Frances went mad in 1728 due to the stress of his exile in France.
That's a hell of a segue. "The match was a success in that the husband got money! The wife went mad."
