Notes |
- 2nd Earl of Douglas
succeeded his father at a time of much border warfare between Scotland and England. Due to the old age of King Robert II, the Douglases were left in charge of the defense of the kingdom. They literally became "the shield of Scotland". In 1388 he led a plundering sweep into England in retaliation for the devastation caused by King Richard's army three years earlier. While on this raid, Douglas met and defeated the renown English knight Henry "Hotspur" Percy in personal combat. In triumph he carried off Percy's pennon.
In an effort to regain his pennon, and his honor, Percy pursued and engaged Douglas at the Battle of Otterburn. Douglas,
although mortally wounded in the battle, directed his captains to carry his standard, sound his battle cry and rally his troops.
Even in death, he carried the field. James left one illegitimate son, William, 1st Lord of Drumlanrig, who was the sire of the
Queensberry cadet branch. As no legitimate heir was left, the earldom passed to the "base born" son of Sir James "The Good".
