• TitleOfNobility: 17 Mar 1452; 1st Earl of Erroll

Notes:

William Hay of Erroll, succeeded to the estates in 1436, and had sasine of the lands of Inchira on 25 January 1443-44, on a precept from Joanna Beaufort, Queen of James I, and to him and Beatrix his wife on 30 January 1449-50, on his own resignation. He granted a charter of the lands of Achmore to Sir David Hay of Yester in 1452.

According to Douglas, he was created EARL OF ERROLL 17 March 1452-53, but the Auchenleck Chronicle states that he was belted Earl in the Parliament held 12 June 1452. As Earl of Erroll, he resigned all his lands into the King's hands to be erected into the lordship of Erroll and regality of Slains respectively, on which resignation he had on 31 july 1452 two charters under the Great Seal, one of the lordship of Errol and the other of the regality of Slains, to himself and a long series of heirs. It was in virtue of these charters that the title and estates passed to the heir-male in 1541, and remained a male fief till the destination was changed in the time of Charles II.

The Earl was alive on 15 November 1461, so that the date of his death in the Erroll Obits, 24 August 1460, must be wrong. The true date is probably October 1462.

He married, before 17 March 1449-50, Beatrix Douglas, daughter of James, seventh Earl of Douglas, who survived him.

William, first Earl, had issue:

1. Nicholas, second Earl
2. William, third Earl.
3. Gilbert, a substitute in a charter of 1460 by his father of the lands of Meikle Arnage. He probably died young.
4. Elizabeth, who was contracted in marriage ?with Sir Andrew Gray ?
5. Margaret, married, first, about 1470 to Alexander Fraser, fourth of Philorth ?
6. Isabel, married Laurence, first Lord Oliphant.

Notes:

Elizabeth Stewart Princess of Scotland
1387? 1411
BIRTH 1387 ? Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
DEATH 3 NOV 1411 ? Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland



Sir William Douglas, 6th Baron of Drumlanrig, had a charter as 'son and heir apparent of James Douglas of Drumlanrig' of the Barony and Castle of Drumlanrig, 19 May 1492 (i.e. during his father's lifetime). He also had charters of land in Dalgarnock, 22 Aug 1500; of the Barony of Tibbers, 23 Feb 1509; and of the Barony of Hawick, 15 jun 1511.


Death: Sept 1513 at Flodden, or possibly as a result of wounds sustained at the battle.(1)


Father: James (Sir) (5th Baron of Drumlanrig) Douglas
Mother: Janet Scott, dau of David Scott of Buccleuch

Marriage 1 Elizabeth, dau of Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar

Married: 1470??
He married Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of Sir Robert Stewart.


Children
James (Sir) (7th Baron of Drumlanrig) Douglas
Robert - ancestor of Douglas of Burford. He held the office of Provost of Lincluden
Janet (of Drumlanrig) Douglas = Robert, 5th Lord Maxwell, 4 June 1509 (Some say 4th Lord Maxwell)
Agnes? = Andrew Cunnyngham of Birkshaw (but see also Marion, dau of the 6th Laird
I also record John Douglas, father of Mr Douglas of Craigincune, but this is not recognised by some other sources. He is the forebear of the Douglas of Arlkand family.(2)


Notes:

1. Sir William died on 10 September 1513, the day after Flodden, 'on the field of war,' as appears from an inventory of his goods made by his widow, he dying intestate.

2. John, described as brother of James Douglas of Drumlanrig in letters of remission to them and many others for the murder of Thomas Maclellan of Bomby, dated 25 August 1526.
On 2 March 1545-46 he, by a very curious bond, pledged himself to his elder brother that if from that day forward he played at cards, dice, tables, or other games he would renounce all his heritages to his brother, who had given him ?48 money down, gold and silver, to abstain from such play.
He was probably the father of Mr. John Douglas of Craigincune, who in 1578 is described as 'brothir sone' of Sir James Douglas of Drumlanrig.
