The peerage of Scotland: containing an historical and genealogical account of the nobility of that kingdom, ... collected from the public records, and ancient chartularies of this nation, ... Illustrated with copper-plates. By Robert Douglas, Esq;.

DUNBAR Earl of MARCH.

This great and illustrious family is undoubtedly sprung from the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 kings of England, and the princes or earls of Northumberland, which is sufficiently attested by many eminent historians, and other au∣thentic documents: we shall therefore de∣duce their descent by unquestionable authori∣ty from

I. CRINAN, a man of the first rank and quality,* 1.1 and head of one of the greatest and most opulent families in the north of Eng∣land, who flourished about the end of the tenth century, and was father of

II. MALDREDUS, who married Algatha, daughter and heiress of Uthred prince of Nor∣thumberland,* 1.2 and grand-child of Ethelred king of England, who succeeded to the crown, anno 979, and died anno 1016.

A good historian, who lived about this aera, has these words:* 1.3 Hane Algathan later (U∣thredus) dedit in conjugium Maldredo filio Cri∣nani, quam habuit ex Elgiva filia Ethelredi regis Angliae, &c. &c.

By her he had a son and successor,

III. COSPATRICIUS or GOSPATRICI∣US, who was earl of Northumberland in right of his mother.

When William the Conqueror had over-run the greatest part of England, he allowed Cos∣patrick to possess his earldom of Northumber∣land for some time,* 1.4 upon his paying him a considerable sum of money; but, being after∣wards jealous of his greatness and power, al∣ledged he had been carrying on some private correspondence with his enemies, the mal∣contents of England; he therefore deprived him of his titles and estates, and expelled him the kingdom, anno 1071.* 1.5

Cospatrick sled to Scotland, and was kind∣ly received by king Malcolm Cammore, who, being a generous prince, bestowed upon him the lands and manor of Dunbar, in East-Lo∣thian, and several baronies in Berwick-shire.

His future conduct and behaviour showed, that king Malcolm's favours were not mis∣placed; for he served him faithfully, and con∣tributed greatly to establish peace and order in the kingdom.

And as the manor of Dunbar then be∣came his chief seat, it was afterwards assumed for the sirname of the family.

He left issue three sons, and one daughter.

1. Dolphinus.* 1.6

2. Waldevus.—We know nothing of the progeny of these two.

3. Cospatricius, who carried on the line of this family.

His daughter,* 1.7 Ethelreda, married king Dun∣can, son of king Malcom Canmore.

IV. COSPATRICIUS succeeded his father, and made a great figure in Scotland. He was a brave warrior, often fought valiantly with the Scots against the English, and was ap∣pointed warden of the marches.

He is witness to many of our kings char∣ters, particularly to the foundation charter of the abbacy of Scoon by king Alexander I. wherein Cospatricius frater Dolphini,* 1.8 Mallus comes, Duffagan comes, Williel•••••• frater re∣ginae, Edwardus constabularius, Cospatricius fi∣lius Waltheof, and many others, are witnesses, anno 1115. Here it may be observed, that he is generally designed Cospatricius frater Dolphi∣ni, to distinguish him from other cotempora∣ry Cospatricks.

In the inquisition made by king David I. (when prince of Cumberland) de possessioni∣bus ecclesiae Glasguensis,* 1.9 the witnesses were Cospatricius frater Dolphini, Waldevus frater ejus, Cospatricius fi••ius Uthred, Cospatricius filius Alden, U••htred filius Scot, Gervasius Rid∣del, Robertus Corbet, Walterus de Lindsay, Willi••••••us Venator, and many others, ••irca annum 1120.

He is likeways witness to the foundation charter of the abbacy of Holyroodhouse by king David I.* 1.10 and is also therein designed Cospatricius frater Dolphini, anno 1128.

He appears to have been created earl soon after this aera;* 1.11 for he made a donation to the priory of Coldinghame of the lands of Ed∣ram and Nisbet, in the shire of Berwick, in which he is designed Cospatricius comes, frater Dolphini, &c. anno 1130.

This donation of the lands of Edram and Nisbet is afterwards confirmed by king Da∣vid I. to the monks of Coldinghame, on the 17th of the calends of September 1139, on which day earl Cospatrick died.* 1.12 This is do∣cumented from these remarkable words in the confirmation, viz. ea die qua fuit vivus et mortuus, &c.

He left issue a son,

Cospatrick,—and a daughter,

Margaret, married to Philip de Montgo∣mery, ancestor of the earl of Eglington.

He was succeeded by his son,

V. COSPATRICIUS, second earl, who, like his father, was a strenuous defender of the borders of Scotland.

He was a great benefactor to the religious, and is witness to many of their charters and donations,* 1.13 particularly one by king David I. to the abbacy of Newbottle, and is therein designed Cospatricius comes filius Cospatricii, without any local appellation, anno 1140.

He made a donation to the monastery of Kelso of the patronages of the churches of Home,* 1.14 Lambden, Greenlaw, &c.

Also a donation to the church of St. Ni∣cholas of Home,* 1.15 of a carucate of land, to which his three sons, Cospatrick, Edward, and Ed∣gar, gave their consent, and are witnesses.

By the above donations, and several others too numerous to be here inserted, it suffici∣ently appears, that this family had vast pos∣sessions in the shire of Berwick as early as the reign of king David I. particularly the lands and barony of Home, which afterwards be∣came the property, sirname, and title of one of the greatest and most noble branches of this illustrious house, as has been shown under the title earl of Home, page 341 of this work.

He died in 1147,* 1.16 leaving issue three sons.

1. Cospatrick, his successor.

2. Edward, of whose succession we can give no account.

3. Edgar,* 1.17 who appears to have been an∣cestor of those of the sirname of Edgar.

He is likeways said to have had a fourth son, Uthred, supposed to have been ancestor of the family of Dundas. Vide title Dundas in the II. Vol.

VI. COSPATRICK, third earl, was stiled Cospatricius comes,* 1.18 filius com. Cospatricii, &c.

He founded the Cistertian nunnery of Cold∣stream, situated on the banks of the river Tweed, in the shire of Berwick, and gave to that convent the half of the church of Layvel, with half a carucate of land, consisting of the half of the lands of Layvel, and another half in Birghame, &c. He confirms also the church of Hirsel to them, with a carucate of land, which had been given by Derder his countess,* 1.19 &c. to which donations Derder co••it••ssa, and Waldevus filius com. Cospatricii, are wit∣nesses.

He also founded another runnery of the same order at Eccles,* 1.20 in Berwick-shire, which he largely endowed.

By the said Derder, his countess (of what family we know not) he left issue two sons.

1. Waldevus.

2. Patrick, father of William, ancestor of the family of Home,* 1.21 of whom afterwards.

And dying anno 1166, was succeeded by his eldest son,

VII. WALDEVE, fourth earl, who is the first we find designed comes de Dunbar, which he also took for his sirname.

Earl Waldeve is particularly mentioned in a convention with king Henry of England,* 1.22 about the liberation of king William the Li∣on, anno 1174.

He confirmed the donations of his prede∣cessors to the religious,* 1.23 particularly the church∣es of Layvel and White-Chester, by his char∣ter, wherein he is designed Waldevus, comes de Dunbar, &c. and to which his brother Pa∣trick is a witness.

He died anno 1182,* 1.24 leaving issue by Alina comitissa de Dunbar, two sons, and one daughter.

1. Patrick, his successor.

2. Constanti••e, who is mentioned with his brother,* 1.25 in a donation to the monastery of Coldinghame.

His daughter,* 1.26 Alicia, married Philip de Se∣ton, ancestor of the earls of Winton.

Alina comitissa de Dunbar is mentioned in many authentic writs;* 1.27 and, surviving her husband five years, died anno 1187.

VIII. PATRICK,* 1.28 fifth earl, was the first of this family that was designed comes Mar∣chiae.

He was a brave soldier, was engaged in many encounters against the English, in the reign of king William the Lion, and always behaved with remarkable conduct and resolu∣tion.

He confirmed all the donations of his pre∣decessors to the religious, by his charter in these words:

"Patricius comes, &c. sciatis me confirmass,* 1.29 &c. sicut cartae predecesso∣rum, comitis Cospatricii, et comitis Walde••i patris mei, confirmant et testantur, testibus Willielmo filio meo, Bernardo Fraser, &c.

He founded a monastery of red friars at Dunbar,* 1.30 anno 1218, and Ada his countess founded a nunnery for the Cistertian nuns of St. Bothans in Berwick-shire, &c.

He married Ada,* 1.31, daughter of king William the Lion, by whom he had three sons, and one daughter.

1. Galfridus, who was contracted to Jean, eldest daughter of John King of England, which is attested by Rymer's Foedera in these words:* 1.32

"conventio inter Johannem regem Angliae, et P. comitem Marchiae, per quam praedictus rex tenetur tradere Johannam fi∣liam suam Galfrido, filio dicti comitis in uxorem, &c. anno 1214,"

but he dled be∣fore his father; without succession.

2. Patrick, who carried on the line of this family.

3. William,* 1.33 who, in a charter of donation to the monastery of Kelso, is designed Willi∣elmus filius comitis Patricii, &c. anno 1241.

His daughter Ada, got from her father the lands and barony of Home,* 1.34 and was married, 1st, to—Courtney, to whom she had no issue; she was married, 2dly, to her cou∣sin sir William, son of Patrick, second son of Cospatrick, third earl of Dunbar, before men∣tioned, who got with her the lands and castle of Home, from which he assumed his sir∣name, and was progenitor of the family of Home. Vide, Title earl of Home.

Here we beg leave to observe, that the a∣bove William, third son of Patrick fifth earl of Dunbar, is said, by former authors, to have been ancestor of the family of Home, which certainly is a mistake; for Willielmus filius comitis Patricii married Christiana Corbet, daughter and sole heiress of Walter de Corbet of Mackerston, with whom he got a conside∣rable estate, and by her had two sons.

1. Nicholaus de Corbet, who got the lands of Mackerston.

2. Patricius de Corbet, who got the lands of Foggo,* 1.35 &c. and both they and their poste∣rity kept the sirname of Corbet, and were the only sons that this William ever had.—All which is attested by many documents, and suf∣ficiently prove that Willielmus filius comitis Patricii could not be progenitor of the fami∣ly of Home.

This William,* 1.36 son of earl Patrick, died anno 1253, and Christiana de Corbet, his spouse, died anno 1241.

Earl Patrick died anno 1232,* 1.37 and was suc∣ceeded by his son,

IX. PATRICK, second of that name, and sixth earl, promiscuously designed of Dunbar and March.

He was a man of fine parts, and in great savour with king Alexander II. who often employed him in negotiations of importance, and he always acquitted himself with fidelity and honour.

He, with Walter lord high steward of Scot∣land, subdued that great and formidale rebel Thomas Dow-MacAllan, and obliged him to submit to the king's mercy, anno 1235.

He also reduced, and brought to a submis∣sion Somerlede thane of Argyle, another arch∣rebel,; and when the differences betwixt

king Alexander II. of Scotland, and king Henry III.* 1.38 of England, were accommodated, Patrick earl of March, the earls of Fife, Men∣teith, Strathern, Levenax, Angus, Mar, A∣thole and Ross, Walter son of Alan, and Ber∣nard Fraser, were guarantees for the king of Scotland, anno 1237.

He was also one of the guarantees in ano∣ther treaty betwixt the kings of Scotland and England,* 1.39 anno 1244.

He afterwards went to the holy war with Lewis IX. of France, accompanied by Walter lord high steward of Scotland,* 1.40 and David Lindsay of Glenesk, but died at the siege of Damieta in Egypt, anno 1249.

He left issue by Christian his wife, second daughter of said Walter lord high steward of Scotland,* 1.41 only one son,

X. PATRICK, seventh earl, who succeed∣ed him, and was a man of great worth and merit, and a true patriot.

When Walter Cummin earl of Menteith fortified the castle of Edinburgh,* 1.42 and refused to surrender it to the king, Patrick earl of March reduced it, and obliged Walter to im∣plore the king's mercy, anno 1252.

King Alexander likeways employed him in a particular embassy to his father-in-law the king of England,* 1.43 anno 1255.

He married Cecilia, daughter of John de Wer,* 1.44 and died anno 1262, leaving issue a son and successor,

XI. PATRICK, eighth earl, who was high∣ly esteemed by king Alexander III. to whom he did many signal services.

He commanded the left wing of the royal army at the memorable battle of Largis, where the lord high steward commanded the right, and the king the main body or center, and obtained a glorious victory over Haco king of Norway, who had invaded Scotland with a great army, anno 1263.

The year thereafter, the earl of March, with the lord high steward, reduced the Isle of Man, with all the Ae••udae or Western Isles; and in 1266, Magnus king of Norway, yielded all pretensions to those islands, for 4000 merks, and an annuity of 100 merks, which brought about the marriage betwixt Eric, son of Magnus, with princess Margaret, daughter of king Alexander III.

Anno 1284, this earl was one of the mag∣nates Scotiae that entered into a solemn engage∣ment, acknowledging princess Margaret, daugh∣ter to Eric king of Norway, to be true and undoubted heir to the crown of Scotland,* 1.45 and to receive her as queen, upon the death of king Alexander III. her grandfather.

He was also one of the Scotch nobles that wrote to the king of England about the mar∣riage of Margaret queen of Scotland with his eldest son prince Edward,* 1.46 anno 1290.

After the death of the queen, he became one of the competitors for the crown, as be∣ing grandson of Ada,* 1.47 daughter of king Willi∣am the Lion, but it seems he afterwards gave up his pretensions; for in the competition be∣twixt Bruce and Baliol, we find this earl of March was one of the arbiters chosen on the part of Bruce, anno 1292.

He died 1294, having married Christian Bruce,* 1.48 daughter of Robert lord of Annandale, competitor for the crown of Scotland, by whom he had a son and successor,

XII. PATRICK, ninth earl, who, like ma∣ny of his brave countrymen,* 1.49 was forced to submit to the superior power of king Edward of England, and swore fealty to him, anno 1296.

In 1304, the parliament of England chose him one of the representatives for Scotland, but the Scotch affairs beginning then to have a more favourable aspect, he refused to serve in such a parliament, though he had lands lying both in Scotland and England.

Soon after Robert Bruce was king of Scot∣land, we find him in the enemy's interest, his strong castle of Dunbar in the hands of the English,* 1.50 and himself appointed by king Ed∣ward one of the keepers of the peace upon the English borders, viz. Lancashire, Cum∣berland, Westmorland, &c. anno 1307; yet he was afterwards reconciled, and in great friendship with king Robert, and was one of the magnates Scotiae that attended him to his convention at Air, when the succession to the crown was settled, to which he affixed his seal, anno 1315.

He married Marian, daughter of Duncan, tenth earl of Fife, by whom he had two sons.

1. Patrick, tenth earl of March.

2. George, of whom it is said the Dunbars of Cumnock, Moch••um, &c. are descended.

He died in the end of 1315, or beginning of 1316, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XIII. PATRICK, sixth of that name, and tenth earl, who was a man of great honour, loyalty, and integrity, and always a firm friend to the royal family.

He was one of the Scotch nobles that sign∣ed that famous letter to the Pope,* 1.51 asserting the independency of Scotland, anno 1320.

Upon the death of Thomas Randolph, re∣gent of Scotland, he was chosen guardian of the kingdom,* 1.52 besouth the river Forth, anno 1332, and entered into a solemn agreement

with the king of England, super liberatione castri et ••illae de Berwick, &c. anno 1333.

He was one of the commissioners appointed to treat of a peace with the king of England,* 1.53 anno 1342.

And was one of the chief commanders at the ••nfortunate battle of Durham, where king David, by being too forward, was taken pri∣soner; but the earl of March, after the battle was lost, made a glorious retreat, and by his good conduct, saved a great part of the army.

This earl was afterwards employed in ma∣ny embassies and negociations with the En∣glish, to procure the king's liberty,* 1.54 which at last was effectuated, anno 1357.

He married Agnes, daughter of Thomas Randolph,* 1.55 earl of Murray, sister, and at length sole heiress of John earl of Murray, whereby he was afterwards designed earl of Murray, which appears by a charter of king David II.* 1.56 By her he had two sons and three daughters.

1. George, earl of March.

2. Patrick Dunbar,* 1.57 who is witness in a charter of his brother's, anno 1396.

1st daughter, lady Margaret, married to William earl of Douglas.

2. Lady Agnes, married to James Dou∣glas, lord of Dalkeith.

3. Lady Elizabeth, married to sir John M••itland of Leithington.

And dying anno 1360, was succeeded by his eldest son,

XIV. GEORGE, eleventh earl of March, designed also earl of Murray, and lord of An∣nandale in right of his mother, was certainly one of the most powerful men of his time, and continued a dutiful and loyal subject during all the reign of king Robert II.

He was warden of the marches, and was very successful in repressing the insolences of the English borderers.

In 1380, he was one of the commissioners appointed to treat of a peace with England,* 1.58 which ended only in a truce.

In 1384, he joined the earl of Douglas, and they burnt the town of Roxburgh, took the castle of Lochmaben, defeated the En∣glish, who had invaded the South borders, and took a rich convoy that followed their army.

After all these services, he revolted to the English; for which our historians give the following reason••:

The earl's daughter, lady Elizabeth Dun∣bar, was contracted to David prince of Scot∣land, the king's eldest son, and it is said the earl had actually paid a considerable sum to the king, in part of his daughter's portion.

The earl of Douglas being then the great∣est man in the kingdom, proposed to the king to marry the prince to his daughter lady Mar∣jory Douglas, which accordingly was accom∣plished, notwithstanding the former contract.

The earl of March being a man of a great ••pirit, highly resented this affront, turned an enemy to his country, and determined to do it all the mischief in his power.

He committed the care of his castle of Dunbar to his nephew sir Robert Maitland of Leithington, renounced his allegiance to his lawful sovereign,* 1.59 withdrew to England with a considerable retinue of his friends and followers, was well received by king Henry, who gave him possession of several lands, and settled an annuity of 500 merks sterling up∣on him, became a liege man to the king of England, and did him many signal services a∣gainst his native country.

He entered into a strict friendship with sir Henry Piercy, and other English borderers, the constant enemies of the Scotch nation, and with them invaded Scotland with a conside∣rable force, made great havock, and destroy-all with fire and sword wherever he came; for which he was most justly outlawed and forfeited: and being one of the best generals of his time, the English gained several ad∣vantages over the Scots under his conduct, particularly at Homildon, in 1402, and at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, where the vic∣tory was chiefly ascribed to the earl of March's military skill.

After all, he became weary of distressing his native country, and made application to Robert duke of Albany, governor of Scot∣land, for a pardon, who gave him a favour∣able answer; upon which he came to Scot∣land, and was restored to all his estates and honours by the governor, anno 1409, and liv∣ed peaceably in his own country all the re∣mainder of his days.

He married Christian, daughter of sir Wil∣liam Seton of that ilk, ancestor of the earls of Winton, by whom he had six sons and one daughter.

1. George, his heir.

2. John, earl of Murray.

3. Sir Gavin Dunbar,* 1.60 a brave soldier.

4. Colin Dunbar.

5. Sir Patrick Dunbar of Beill, who was murdered with king J••mes I.* 1.61 anno 1437.— This sir Patrick left a son, Hugh, who sold his lands of Beill,* 1.62 &c. in East Lothian, and the mill of Mersington, in Berwickshire, to Ro∣bert Lauder of Edrington, 12th September 1489.—All these four brothers are men∣tioned in a charter in our public records.* 1.63

6. David Dunbar of Cockburn, whose on∣ly daughter and heiress, Mariota, married A∣lexander earl of Crawfurd.

His daughter, lady Janet, married, 1st, to John lord Seton; and, 2dly, to sir Adam Johnston of that ilk.

The earl died in 1416, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XV. GEORGE, twelfth earl of March, who was one of the commissioners appointed to treat with the English about the redemption of king James I.* 1.64 anno 1423, which was hap∣pily accomplished the year thereafter, and the earl had the honour of knighthood conferred upon him at the solemnity of the king's co∣ronation.

Though it does not appear that this earl was ever guilty of any bad practices against the state, yet the ravages and devastations, committed by his father against his country, during his rebellion, made many good sub∣jects enemies to his family. They endea∣voured to prepossess the king against him, and to convince him that it was not in the power of a governor to restore to his estate, and fully to pardon so great and formidable a re∣bel as his father was, who had been justly outlawed and forfeited by the Iaws of the land.

The earl was apprehended, and committed prisoner to the castle of Edinburgh; but the king would suffer nothing to be done against him contrary to law: he therefore called a parliament to meet at Perth, in order for his trial, on 10th January 1434.

The earl pled, that his father had been fully pardoned by the duke of Albany, then governor of Scotland, and that he had never been guilty of any crime against the state.

The advocates for the king replied, that the power of restoring rebels and exiles was lodged in the king alone, and never in the person of a governor.

At last, after long debate, the parliament passed sentence against him, in these words:

"Quod ratione forisfacturae domini Georgii de Dunbar,* 1.65 quondam comitis Marchiae, et domini de Dunbar, omne jus tam proprietatis quam possessionis omnium et singularum terrarum comitatus Marchiae, et dominii de Dunbar, a∣liarumque terrarum quae de domino nostro rege tenuit in capite, cum omnibus et singulis fuis pertinentiis, suisse, spectasse, et pertinuisse, ac esse, spectare, et pertinere debere, tam in possessorio quam in petitorio, ad dominum nostrum regem, &c."

The earldom of March was thus annexed to the crown, where it remained till king James III. conferred it upon his unnatural brother Alexander duke of Albany, anno 1478.

Yet such was the king's goodness and bounty to this earl, that he bestowed upon him a pension out of the earldom of Buchan, (then in the crown) which supported him ac∣cording to his quality during his life.

We have not been able to discover to whom this earl was married, but it is certain he left issue a son,

XVI. PATRICK DUNBAR, who, in ma∣ny authentic documents, is designed filius et haeres Georgii, quondam comitis de March, par∣ticularly when he got a pension from the king of 400 merks per annum, the very year after his father's sentence, anno 1435,* 1.66 which was no inconsiderable sum in those days, and suf∣ficiently shows the king's lenity and good-will towards the family.

It appears also, that the parliament only forfeited his lands that held of the king; for we find that this Patrick, and his heirs, pos∣sessed the lands and barony of Kilconquhar in Fife, which was the undoubted property of the earls of March; but they held these lands of the bishop of St. Andrews, who granted a new charter,* 1.67 Patricio Dunbar, filio et haeredi quondam Georgii comitis de March, terrarum baroniae de Kilconquhar, &c. circa annum 1457; and his posterity continued in possession of these lands for several generations afterwards, till the last of them died without male-issue, in the reign of queen Mary; and we have not been able to discover any male-descen∣dants of this family, after their forfeiture in the year 1434.
