THE orthodox beginning to a history of the family of Douglas is to quote the " words of David Hume of Godscroft : We do not know them in the Foun-

tain, in the not in the Root, but in the Stock and Stem ; for we but Stream ; know not who was the first mean Man that did by his Virtue raise himself above the Vulgar." These words were written in 1625 and are true to-day, and will probably remain so for all time.

Hume's work was the first family history printed, its compilation was finished in

1625, he obtained a licence to print it in 163 1, and the first edition was printed about

1633, only one copy of which is known to exist. It was reprinted in 1644, 1648, an undated edition, 1657, 1743, 1748 and 1820. Hume's History deals with the Earls of Douglas and the House of Angus. The magnificent Douglas Book by Sir Wm. Fraser, printed 1885, also only treats of the Earls of Douglas and Angus and the Douglases of Glenbervie. Sir Herbert Maxwell's History of the Hotise of Douglas, published 1902, deals with the Earls of Douglas and the main lines of the Houses of Queensberry, Angus and Morton. Of other works referring to the Douglas family may be mentioned Pineda's A Synopsis of the Genealogy of the Noble Family of Brigantes or Douglas, published 1754, a History of Douglas of Tilwhilly or Tilquhillie, The Genealogy of the Families of Douglas of Mulderg, published 1895, and the Registrum Honoris de Morton.

In this work I have endeavoured to trace the descent in the male line of all branches of the Douglas family, and as the lines of Drumlanrig, Cavers, Bonjedward and Morton, and cadets of all the branches, have been practically ignored by all former writers, it will be realised that my task has been a heavy one. I am quite conscious that my work is very far from perfect, but I hope it will prove useful to future historians better equipped than I am.

This great and warlike family remained loyal to the crown, until one of lesser power, a Stewart, succeeded through the marriage of his father to the throne of Scotland, and from that time perpetual war raged between the two families. The deaths of the sixth and eighth Earls of Douglas will always be a blot on the Stewarts' fame. The Stewarts triumphed in the end and crushed the Earls of Douglas, but the Angus line rose out of the ruin and flourishes to-day. —

vi PREFACE

As regards the Armorial Bearings I have to thank Sir James Balfour Paul,

Lyon-King-of-Arms, for allowing me to consult his Register, Mr F. J. Grant, Lyon- Clerk, for much kindly help, and Mr W. Rae Macdonald for allowing me to use his valuable book on Scottish Seals. Owing to the fact that

" So many, so good, as of the Douglases have been, " Of one sirname were ne'er in Scotland seen

" I have had to omit all such titles as His Grace," "The Most Noble," "The Right Honourable," " Lord," " Lady " and " Honourable," and trust that as the Douglases themselves are the cause they will excuse the omission.

Edinburgh, December igo6. Introduction.

ARMORIAL BEARINGS. DOUGLAS ARMS.—The Seal of Sir William Moray, 1296, shows three stars as the charge (Laing). In the Armorial de Gelre (fourteenth century), these Arms appear as azure, three stars argent. The Seal of Sir William Douglas of 1296 shows on a chief three stars, and in the Armorial de Gelre these Arms appear as argent, on a chief azure three stars of the field (with heart in addition). From the similarity of the Arms it is supposed that the Murrays and Douglases had a common origin. The Douglases then branched into two lines—the senior retained the azure chief with three stars ; the junior, that of Morton, changed the chief to gules and reduced the stars to two. The senior line with the blue chief added a red heart to the field in commemoration of the fact that the Good Sir James carried Robert Bruce's heart at least part of the way to the Holy Land. The first Marquis of Douglas added a crown to the heart to show that it was that of a king. The junior line with the red chief also branched out, and the younger branch, that of Lochleven, made the chief dancetty, and the three teeth were later lengthened into piles.

Earls OF Douglas.—As shown in the text and plates the Earls added the heart to the paternal Arms, they then quartered the Arms of Mar on succeeding to that Earldom, and dropped these Arms when they could no longer claim them. They then added at different times the Arms of Galloway, Bothwell, Annandale, Touraine and Lauderdale on acquiring these lordships. In the fourth quarter of the Arms of the ninth Earl appear six piles sable, which are referred to more fully below under Angus. The Earl of Moray quartered the Arms of that Earldom with his paternal coat, and the Earl of Ormond was content with the paternal Arms, merely changing the field to ermine.

Douglases of Drumlanrig, Kelhead and Queensberry descended from a natural son of the second Earl of Douglas and Mar, kept the quartered Arms of Douglas and Mar and added a red bordure, afterwards changed to gold, on which was the red royal tressure.

DOUGLASES OF Cavers, also descended from a natural son of the second Earl of Douglas and Mar, kept the Arms of Douglas only, but added a blue bordure, and their cadets of Friarshaw further differenced by making the bordure nebuly.

DOUGLASES OF Angus are descended from a natural son of the first Earl of Douglas and Mar. By reference to the text and plates it will be seen that the —

viii INTRODUCTION

second Earl quartered the Arms of Douglas with the white lion of his Earldom Angus. The third Earl introduced the Arms of Stewart of Bonkyl and Abernethy, derived from the Stewarts, the former Earls of Angus. The fourth and fifth Earls added the Arms of Liddesdale (the old Arms of the Soulis family). The sixth Earl of Angus introduced the Piles in place of Liddesdale, and these, their number and colour, have given cause for much heraldic and historical dispute. At one time they were given as the Arms of Wishart of Brechin, and later as representing Ettrick

Forest. I shall deal first with the number. On the Garter Plate of the ninth Earl of

Douglas six piles are the sixth eighth Earl of Angus five ; the first shown ; and have Marquis of Douglas has four, and the second Marquis three. As regards colour, the Garter Plate (1461) of the ninth Earl of Douglas shows the piles sable, and as the

red heart in his Arms still appears in its proper colour, it is not likely that the piles have changed. Sir David Lindsay, 1542, shows the Arms of " Brechane of Auld " as Or, three piles gules, but the second Marquis of Douglas had not reduced the piles on

his Arms to three till about 1669. George Burnett, Lyon-King-of-Arms, asserts that

the family of Wishart of Brechin never existed, so I think we may safely assume that the piles in the Angus Arms represent neither Wishart nor Brechin. The ninth Earl of Douglas certainly owned Ettrick Forest, and might have adopted the piles to represent stakes surrounding that domain, the sable used to colour them must have been employed with his sanction, and was probably derived from the weathered or tarred wood, or from the bark left on the stakes. The green piles, which appear in some comparatively modern lists of Arms, seem to me to have no historical value. Why then were these piles afterwards coloured gules ? When James, Marquis of Douglas, recorded Arms, 1672-77, the third quarter granted was Argent, three piles gu'les " for Wishart." It was then apparently that the number and colour were decided, and I suggest that both were derived from the Arms of Douglas of Lochleven, either through ignorance of what or who the piles represented, or to show a connection with the apparently better born House of Morton.

The Arms of Stewart of Bonkyl, granted to several members of this family,

show the bend sable, but both Lindsay and Nisbet make it gules.

The eighth Earl of Angus substituted the Arms of Galloway for those of Abernethy, but in the grant to the second Marquis of Douglas, 1672-77, they take the place of Angus. The Douglases of Glenbervie and their cadets have taken as their difference the embattled cross of Auchinleck.

DOUGLASES OF BONJEDWARD were apparently descended from a Johnson who married a natural daughter of the first Earl of Douglas and Mar. They differenced the Douglas Arms by adding a red label of three points. Douglases of Morton and Lochleven.—This branch of the family has the chief red, and the stars two in number, and these were the Arms down to the third Earl of Morton. The fourth Earl of Morton belonged to the Angus branch, and he quartered these Arms with those of the Earls of Douglas. The Douglases of Whittinghame added the black cinquefoil of the Borthwicks as their difference, but the Swedish branch has apparently adopted the blue chief

with three stars, and what is more peculiar, have placed the red heart on the black cinquefoil. —

INTRODUCTION ix

The Douglases of Lochleven made the chief dancetty of three teeth, and these teeth gradually lengthened into piles. When this branch of the family succeeded to the Earldom of Morton they followed the example of the fourth Earl and quartered their Arms with those of the Earls of Douglas.

Douglases of Mains, Pumpherston and Baads have all peculiar variations of the Douglas Arms, and some of the " other Douglases " have Arms which are both curious and interesting. CRESTS.

The Earls of Douglas used a plume of white feathers, which to us seems very inappropriate for one of the bravest and most warlike families ; but Henry of Navarre, also a gallant soldier, shared their choice of a Crest at Ivry,

" Press where ye see my white plume shine, amidst the ranks of war, And be your oriflamme to-day the helmet of Navarre."

The ninth Earl had a Boar sejant and the more familiar Salamander in flames. The seventh Earl of Douglas and the Earl of Moray used the Peacock's Head. The Douglases of Drumlanrig, Queensberry and Kelhead used the Heart crowned and winged.

The Douglases of Cavers use a Hand holding a Broken Spear.

The Douglases OF Angus used at first the Plume of Feathers, then a Peacock and a Salamander. Douglas of Edrington two Dragon's Heads and Necks addorsed.

Douglas of Glenbervie : A Salamander, and a Salamander in Flames on a Chapeau.

The Earls of Douglas.

account of the Earls of Douglas is based on that given in the Scots THEPeerage and Douglas Book, both of which are improved versions of Hume's History and Douglas' Peerage. Other sources of information are acknow- ledged in the text. (i) William de Douglas was, between 1174 and 1199, a witness to a charter

granted by Jocelyn, Bishop of Glasgow. He had six sons : (a) Archibald (No. 2). (b) Brice, Bishop of Moray 1203- 1222. His Seal is not armorial. (c) Alexander, a Canon of Spynie and Vicar of Elgin. (d) Henry, a Canon of Spynie. (e) Hugh, a Canon of Spynie and Archdeacon of Moray. (/) Freskin, parson of Douglas and Dean of Moray. (2) SIR ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS was a witness to a confirmation by Jocelyn, Bishop of Glasgow, in favour of the Monks of Melrose, 1179-1199. Knighted before 1226 and died about 1240. He is believed to have married Margaret, daughter of Sir John de Crauford. He was father of:

(a) Sir William (No. 3). (b) Andrew, ancestor of the Earls of Morton. (See No. 251).

(3) SIR William de DOUGLAS, named "Long-leg," besides his lands in Douglas- dale, held land in Northumberland. Born about 1200, he died about 1274. His wife is supposed to have been Constance Battail of Fawdon

in Northumberland. He had two sons : (a) Hugh Douglas, married Marjory, sister of Sir Hugh de Aber- nethy, about 1259, and probably died without issue in his father's lifetime.

(b) William (No. 4). Hnil0 of Sir Wm. de Douglas on Seal attached to indenture in connection with the marriage of his son Hugh, dated 1259, are thought by Hume of Godcroft, who had seen the Seal, to be a shield with three stars at the upper end. If Hume was correct this is the earliest instance of the Douglas Arms.

(4) SIR William "le Hardi " was knighted before 1288. He was the first to style himself "Lord of Douglas." Died about the end of the year 1298 in the Tower of London. Sir William married first Elizabeth, daughter

of Alexander the High Stewart, but she died before 1288, leaving a son :

(a) James (No. 5). Sir William married secondly, about 1288, Eleanor, daughter of Matthew, Lord of Lovaine, and widow of William de Ferrers, Lord of

Groby, by whom he had two sons : (b) Hugh (No. 6). (c) Archibald (No. 7). HrtTlS. —On Seal attached to the Ragman Roll of 1296 shows a shield with a — — — — —

chief charged with three stars (Laing). These, the typical Douglas Arms

of this branch of the family, have always been described as : Argent, on a chief azure three stars of the field. [Plate II., fig. i.]

(5) Sir James of Douglas, known to history as "the Good" and the "Black Douglas." On the death of King Robert Bruce in 1329, his heart, placed in a silver casket, was entrusted to Douglas, who set out with it the following year, and arriving at Seville landed with his followers and joined the army of Alphonso XI., King of Castile, which was then facing the Moors on the frontier of Granada. On the 25th August 1330 the battle was fought and Douglas was killed. Both the Bruce's heart and the body of Douglas were brought home, and the latter buried in St.

Bride's Church at Douglas. Sir James Douglas left two sons : (a) William, Lord of Douglas, killed when a young man at Halidon Hill, 19th July 1333. He is said to be legitimate {Douglas Book). HVIIIS.—A doubtful brass Seal ascribed to him, and found at North Berwick, shows on the shield a fess between three stars in chief and a heart in base (Laing). If genuine this is the first appearance of the Bruce's heart in the Douglas Arms. The " fess " is difficult to account for, but other examples are in the Arms of the Douglases of Mains and Pumpherston. (b) Archibald, a natural son (No. 10).

(6) HUGH DOUGLAS, brother of the Good Sir James, born 1294, then became Lord of Douglas. He was known as " the Dull," and was Parish Priest of Old Roxburghe. His brother:

(7) Sir Archibald Douglas, known as the "Tine-man," i.e., the loser, from his want of success in battle. Born c. 1296; killed at Halidon Hill 19th July 1333. He married Beatrice, daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay of

Crawford, and had the following children : (a) John Douglas, who died in France before 1342 in the retinue of David II. (*) William (No. 8). (c) Eleanor married as her second husband Sir James de Sandilands, ancestor of Lord Torphichen, who still owns her lands of West Calder.

(8) Sir William Douglas, Lord of Douglas. On 26th January 1358 he was created Earl OF Douglas, and his brother-in-law, Thomas, Earl of Mar, dying without issue about 1374, the Earl of Douglas succeeded to his estates and Earldom. The Earl died at Douglas in May 1384, and was buried at Melrose. He married in 1357 Margaret, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar, and sister of Thomas, Earl of Mar, who died 1390, leaving

a son :

(a) James (No. 9). The Earl's brother-in-law, Thomas, Earl of Mar, married Margaret Stewart, Countess of Angus, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Angus, and this lady bore a child to her husband's brother-in-law, William, Earl of

Douglas, who was named : (ff) George, and who became ancestor of the Douglases, Earls of Angus. (See No. 114). (c) The Earl had also an illegitimate daughter, Margaret, who in 1404 married Thomas Johnson (No. 226). She was granted — —— — —— — — ——

THE DOUGLASES OF DRUMLANRIG 29

(6y) Sir Robert DOUGLAS OF Cashogle was retoured heir to his brother James

1594, and is mentioned in the Privy Council Register, 1 574-1616. He married Nicola Johnston, and her Will was recorded Edinburgh 1590.

They had three sons : {a) William (No. 68). {6) Robert Douglas, mentioned 1609 {Privy Council Register), He lost his left ear in a brawl 162 1. (Pitcairn's Trials), (c) John Douglas, mentioned 1609 {Privy Council Register).

(68) Sir William Douglas of Cashogle. As apparent of Cashogle he is mentioned in the Privy Council Register, 1609-19, and as Sir William about 1620 and on to 1634. In Traquair MSS. Report he is mentioned 1637. He married Grizel Moray of Blackbarony about 1625 (Douglas' Baronage).

(69) Archibald DOUGLAS, as brother of Sir Robert (No. 67), is mentioned 1582 {Privy Council Register). He married Barbara Napier, who was tried for

witchcraft 1591 (Pitcairn). They had a son :

Penzerie and Baitford.

(72) GEORGE DOUGLAS, third son of No. 24, is said to be ancestor of Douglas of Penzerie {Douglas Peerage), but the Douglases of Penzerie and Baitford are so hopelessly mixed in the records that it is impossible to separate them, if they need separating, for the similarity of names and dates

suggests only one family. I shall take first :

Penzerie.

(1) David Douglas of Penzerie, 1559 {Buccleuch MSS. Report), 1596 {Great Seal Register).

(2) Archibald Douglas in Penzerie and d, his brother, 1583 {Privy Council Register).

Isabella and Mary, retoured heirs-portioners of James Douglas of Penzerie, their father, and William Douglas, their brother, 14th July 1693. —— — — —

\ Baitford.

(i) David Douglas of Baitford, 1573 {Buccleuch MSS. Report). (2) Archibald Douglas, brother of James Douglas of Baitford, 1609 {Buccleuch MSS. Report).

(3) James Douglas of Baitford, retoured to his father David, 4th October 1602 1 575, mentioned Great Seal Register, 1594; Privy Council Register, ; Buccleuch MSS. Report, 1609. Robert, brother of James Douglas of Baitford, 1609 {Buccleuch MSS. Report).

(5) William Douglas of Baitford, 1603 {Privy Council Register), retoured heir of his father James, 19th January 1628. As William Douglas of Greenlaw and Lyncluden, son of James of Baitford, he is mentioned 1610-14 {Privy Council Register), and as William Douglas of Baitford, 1617-27 {Privy Council Register). ALEXANDER DOUGLAS OF BOITFOORD, Will recorded Dumfries, 6th October 1680. Robert DOUGLAS OF Baitford, retoured to his father, Alexander, 1667. His Will recorded July 1704, Dumfries.

Note. —The stumbling-block of the whole pedigree has been No. 5, William Douglas, who is said at different times to be of Baitford and of Penzerie. He is also said to be grand-nephew and also son of Robert Douglas of Lincluden (No. 63), whom he succeeded in part of his properties, notably Greenlaw. He was a thorough scoundrel, and was eventually tried for theft and other crimes in 1610, and sentenced to have his right hand struck off, and then to be hanged. In Pitcairn's Trials he is called "William Douglas of Lyncluden and Grenelaw (callit Williame of Pinzerie), eldest sone and appeirand air of William Douglas of Baitfurd." The father's Christian name is evidently a mistake. Sir Herbert Maxwell in his House of Douglas assumes that William was executed, but the letters of remission granted to him, 1626, would show that William escaped the gallows. Combining the families, therefore, we have :

(73) David Douglas, possibly son of No. 72 and father of : {a) Archibald Douglas. {c) George Douglas. {b) James (No. 74). {d) Robert Douglas. (74) James Douglas, father of: (75) William DOUGLAS, married Agnes, sister of John, ninth Lord Maxwell, and was probably father of:

(76) Alexander Douglas, father of: {77) Robert Douglas. PLATE III.

Douglas of Morton.

THIS pedigree is very difficult to understand for several reasons. First, the Lordship of Morton was renounced by Sir William Douglas of Whittinghame and Morton (No. 273) in favour of James, first Earl of Morton, in 1474 (Registrum Honoris de Morton) ; second, there was a family of Douglas, of Morton or Gogars, in Midlothian ; third, there was a family of Morton in Dumfriesshire, and — — — — —— — —

72 THE DOUGLASES OF MORTON this last family is supposed to be a branch of Douglas of Whittinghame, and the Arms granted to this family at various times imply a connection with this house.

(289) JAMES DOUGLAS, second son of No. 273, was possibly the first of the family, but it may have been his brother George. The next apparently was :—

(290) Patrick DOUGLAS in Morton, mentioned in Buccleuch charters 18th Septem-

ber 1559 and 1 ith March 1574. He had two sons : (a) James (No. 291). (b) Triamor or Triamouth Douglas, mentioned in the above charter of 1559.

(291) JAMES DOUGLAS, mentioned in the same charters as his father, 1559 and 1574. He may have been father of:

(292) HUGH DOUGLAS, who had a charter and sasine of Bellybucht, in the barony of Morton, called Burn, and part of Bus, 23rd April 1593 {Drumlanrig Castle and the Douglases). He is also mentioned in the Privy Council

Register, 1 598-1623, and, along with a brother John, is mentioned in the same Register 1603-10. He apparently married Nicolas Maitland, as she is described in the record of her Will at Edinburgh as "sometyme spouse of Hew Douglas of Bellybocht, par. of Morton, Dumfries," 4th August

1607. He had issue :

(293) James Douglas of Morton, had sasine, as son of Hugh, 20th July 1624. On 2 1st April 1636 he acquired the lands of Auchinsell, Muirhill, and Blackmyre {Drumlanrig Castle and the Douglases). He was a Commis- sioner of Supply for Dumfries 1643-49, and died about 1653 {Scots Acts of Parliament). He married Christian, daughter of Sir James Lockhart

of Lee (Douglas' Baronage). He had three sons : (a) William (No. 294). {b) Archibald (No. 310).

' '(c) Samuel Douglas of Auchinshinnoch. "This property 'passed to Samuel Douglas, brother of William Douglas of Morton, June 1670" (M'Kerlie's Lands and their Owners in Galloway, also Ramage's Drumlanrig Castle and the Douglases).

(294) William Douglas of Morton. He was retoured to his father 28th January 1656 and 8th January 1663. He sold his lands to the Earl of Queens- berry in 1672. There is a disposition granted to the Earl by William, in which he mentions his son James, and also his brothers Archibald and Samuel, 16th January 1683 (M'Kerlie). He married Esther Elliot of

Stobs (Ramage). He had one son :

(295) JAMES DOUGLAS. He owned lands in Dairy 1682 (M'Kerlie), and married,

first, Jean (or Jessie) daughter of Captain Maxwell, 3rd Guards (Ramage) ; second, he married Miss Stewart. By his first wife he left a son :
