| Isabel (Stewart) Countess of Douglas was descended from a signer of the Declaration of Arbroath. Join: Scotland Project Discuss: Scotland |
Isabella was the daughter of Robert II, and Elizabeth Mure, although the exact date of her birth is uncertain.[1]
She married sometime after 23 September 1371 (the date of a papal dispensation, necessary as they were related in the 4th degree of consanguinity) James Douglas, earl of Douglas and Mar and lord of Liddesdale.[1] Richardson states there was alleged to be one child from this marriage, who died in infancy.[1] The Exchequer Rolls list no children from this marriage.[2] James Douglas had at least three natural children by unknown mistresses: William Douglas, Knt., of Drumlanrig; Archibald Douglas, of Cavers; and Eleanor Douglas (who married William Fraser, Knt., of Philorth).[1][3] Sir James Douglas, earl of Douglas and Mar, died at the Battle of Otterburn on 5 August 1388 and was buried at Melrose.[1]
Isabella married (second) before 1390 (the date on which they are mentioned jointly in a charter) John de Edmonstone, Knt., of Edmonstone, Midlothian.[1][2] There was one child from this marriage, David de Edmonstone, who was his father's eldest son and heir.[1][4]
Isabella, countess of Douglas, died in 1409/10.[1][3]
