PATRICK DUNBAR

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 687 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PATRICK DUNBAR , 8th
earl
  of Dunbar and 1st
earl
  of
March
 , claimed the crown of
Scotland
  in 1291 as descendant of Ada, daughter of William the Lion. He was one of the " seven earls of
Scotland
 ," a distinct
body
 
separate
  from the other estates of the realm, who claimed the right to elect a king in cases of disputed succession, and whose authority was, perhaps, to be traced to the seven provinces of the Pictish kingdom. He was the first of the earls of Dunbar to appear in the records as " comes de Marchia," or earl of
March
 . Like most of his family in later times, he was favourable to the English
interest
  in Scottish affairs, and he did homage to
Edward
  I. of England. His wife Marjory, daughter of Alexander
Comyn
 , earl of Buchan, took the other side and held the castle of Dunbar for
Baliol
 , but was forced to surrender it to
Edward
  in 1296. In 1298 he was appointed the English king's
lieutenant
  in Scotland.
