Hugh the Dull, Lord of Douglas
Hugh the Dull( 1294 – between 1342 and 1346) was Lord of Douglas, a Scottish nobleman and cleric.
The second son of William the Hardy, Lord of Douglas, William Wallace's companion in arms, and Eleanor Ferrers.
Hugh's elder brother was Sir James Douglas, a hero of the Wars of Independence, and his younger was Sir Archibald Douglas, Guardian of the realm, and Scots commander at the Battle of Halidon Hill.
William Longleg, Lord of Douglas
William, Lord of Douglas (c. 1220 – c. 1274), known as 'Longleg', was a Scottish nobleman.
He was the son of Archibald I, Lord of Douglas.
The years of the minority of King Alexander III (1249–1262) featured an embittered struggle for the control of affairs between two rival parties, the one led by the nationalistic Walter Comyn, Earl of Menteith, the other by pro-English Alan Durward, Justiciar of Scotia.
The former dominated the early years of Alexander's reign.
In 1255 an interview between the English and Scottish kings at Kelso led to Menteith and his party losing to Durward's party.
Later both parties called a Meeting of the great Magnates of the Realm to establish a regency until Alexander came of age.
William Lord of Douglas was one of the magnates called to witness.
Douglas was a partisan of Durward's party.
This can be explained by the fact that although most of his territories lay in Douglasdale, through his wife, Constance, he had obtained the rich Manor of Fawdon in Northumberland and it would do well to keep English Royal favour.
David Hume of Godscroft, the arch-panegyricist of the House of Douglas, states that Longleg married Marjorie, Countess of Carrick and had by her two sons and a daughter, the daughter inheriting the Earldom of Carrick.
Marjorie went on to marry Robert
the Bruce, father to King Robert I of Scotland; this, however, does not make any sense historically.
William Longleg, Lord of Douglas (died c. 1274) married Constance Battail of Fawdon, and had two sons and a daughter:
Theodred II (Bishop of Elmham)
Theodred II was a medieval Bishop of Elmham.
The date of Theodred's consecration unknown, but the date of his death was sometime between 995 and 997.
William IV, Lord of Douglas
William, Lord of Douglas( died 1333) was a short- lived Scottish nobleman, the son of Sir James Douglas and an unknown mother.
Little is known of Lord Douglas's life which, after his father's death in Spain in 1330, he spent under the guardianship of Sir Archibald Douglas.
There are records of transactions occurring in the exchequer accounts of the Lord Chamberlain of Scotland in 1331 that refer to" Willelmus dominus de Duglas".
There is also a record of a complaint by the monks of Coldingham Priory to David II against the Lord of Douglas and his uncle Sir Archibald, in respect of certain manorial lands at Swinton, Berwickshire.
In this the monks claimed that the lands had been given to Lord Douglas' father, Sir James, illegally and with prejudice against the priory at Coldingham.
William of Douglas accompanied his uncle, who had been appointed Guardian of the Realm, to the battlefield of Halidon Hill.
There, with his uncle, six belted earls and countless knights and commoners, he was slain.
He died unmarried and a minor.
The title and privileges of the Lordship of Douglas passed to another uncle, Hugh" the Dull", a Canon of Glasgow and parson of Roxburgh who turned much of the Douglas patrimony over to his cousin William Douglas of Lothian.
In 1778, excavations at the Auld Kirk at North Berwick uncovered the matrix of the seal of William, Lord Douglas.
This seal stamp shows the first representation of the heart of Bruce in Douglas heraldry, and shows that it was assumed immediately after the death of Sir James Douglas.
Hugh Douglas, Earl of Ormonde
Hugh Douglas, Earl of Ormonde( died 1455) was a Scottish Soldier and nobleman, a member of the powerful Black Douglases.
He was the fourth son of James the Gross, 7th Earl of Douglas and his wife Beatrice, daughter of Henry II Sinclair, Earl of Orkney.
He was a younger brother of William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas, James Douglas, 9th Earl of Douglas, Archibald Douglas, Earl of Moray and older to John Douglas, Lord of Balvenie.
Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas
Archibald Douglas, Earl of Douglas and Wigtown, Lord of Galloway, Douglas and Bothwell, called Archibald the Grim or Black Archibald, was a late medieval Scottish nobleman.
Archibald was the bastard son of Sir James" the Black" Douglas, Robert I's trusted lieutenant, and an unknown mother.
A first cousin of William 1st Earl of Douglas, he inherited the earldom of Douglas and its entailed estates as the third earl following the death without legitimate issue of James 2nd Earl of Douglas at the Battle of Otterburn.
