ANGUS, EARLS OF

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 43 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANGUS, EARLS OF . Angus was one of the seven
original
  earldoms of the Pictish kingdom of
Scotland
 , said to have been occupied by seven
brothers
  of whom Angus was the eldest. The Celtic line ended with Matilda (ft. 1240), countess of Angus in her own right, who married in 1243 Gilbert de Umfravill and founded the Norman line of three earls, which ended in 1381, the then holder of the title being summoned to the English
parliament
 . Meanwhile John Stewart of Bonkyl, co. Berwick, had been created
earl
  of Angus in a new line. This third creation ended with Margaret Stewart, countess of Angus in her own right, and widow of
Thomas
 , 13th
earl
  of Mar. By an irregular connexion with William, 1st earl of Douglas, who had married Mar's
sister
 , she became the
mother
  of George Douglas, 1st earl of Angus
(c. 138o-14o3), and secured a charter of her estates for her son, to whom in 1389 the title was granted by King Robert II. He was taken prisoner at Homildon Hill and died in England. The 5th earl was his
great
 -grandson.
