Of George Douglas, second Earle of that Name, and sonne to Margaret Stuart Countesse of Marre and Angus.
GEorge his sonne entreth to the Earledome in the year 1389. the 9. * 1.1 of Aprile, a boy of seven or eight years old at most, for he was born but in 1381. which is the first year that we finde his father and his mother married. His mother resigned the Earledome of Angus in his favour at a Parliament in the aforesaid year 1389, the 9. of April, so that he hath the title of Earle of Angus, from that time forth, not∣withstanding his mother was alive.
He had to wife Mary Stuart daughter to King Robert the third, being * 1.2 then about 16. or 17. years of age. All that we hear of him in our Histo∣ries is, that he was taken prisoner with the Earle of Douglas, at the bat∣tel of Homeldoun in the year 1402. When he died is uncertain, onely thus much we know, that his sonne William kept Courts as Earle in the year 1430. So he hath lived 42. or 43. years. And certainly he hath not li∣ved long; for after his death Mary Stuart his wife was twice married, first to the Lord Kennedie, and bare to him John Lord Kennedie, and James Arch-bishop of Saint Andrews, who are called brothers to his sonne George Earle of Angus. Then she was married to the Lord John Grahame of Dindaffe-moore, and bare to him Patrick Grahame Bishop al∣so of Saint Andrews, and James Grahame first Laird of Fintrie. * 1.3
His children were William and George, both Earles of Angus after him.
