| Notes |
- Egidia is a daughter of Robert II Stewart and Euphemia Ross.[1] She was known for her great beauty, which was so renown that the King of France was said to have offered for her hand and sent an artist to Scotland to paint her likeness. Egidia, however, fell in love with one of the most famous knights in Scotland at that time, Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale, the illegitimate son of Archibald Douglas, 3rd earl of Douglas, by an unknown mistress, and in 1387 she married him.[1][2][3][4] On their marriage, an annuity of ?300 was granted to "Douglas, and the king's daughter, Egidia" and the first of these payments appears in the Exchequer Rolls of 1388.[2]
There were two children from this marriage:[5]
William Douglas, Knt. of Nithsdale[1][5]
Giles Douglas; m(1) c.1407 Henry Sinclair, earl of Orkney;[1][5] m(2) aft. 29 Apr 1418 Alexander Stewart;[1] she succeeded her brother in the territory of Nithsdale[1]
Sir William Douglas was assassinated (probably) in 1392.[1][2] The date of Egid
