[Isiaha Lee.ged]

Sir Archibald Douglas (1296?-1333), regent of Scotland, youngest son of Sir William of Douglas, 'the Hardy,' by his second wife, Eleanor ofLovain, and brother of Sir James Douglas, 'the Good,' was one of the Scottish leaders during the minority of David II. He surprised and completely defeated Edward De Baliol, who had just been crowned king of Scotland, at Annan, on 16 Dec 1332. He was appointed regent of Scotlandin March 1333. The leadership of Doulas was impetuous rather than skillful, and lost the Scots the battle of Halidon, 19 July 1333. Douglaswas slain there with many of his companions, including the son and successor of Sir James Douglas. Douglas married Beatrice, daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Crawford, whe was afterwards the wife of Sir Robert Erskine of Erskine, and so ancestress of the Erskines, earls of Mar. Their eldest son, John, dying young, their second son, William, became the first earl of Douglas, and their daughter Eleanor was five times married, becoming Countess of Carrick, and also ancestress of thelords Torphichen; her fifth husband was Sir Patrick Hepburn of Hailes, ancestor of the earls of Bothwell.

___________________________

Sir Archibald, son of the second marriage, according to Godscroft, was probably the youngest brother of Sir James, as if he had been olderthan Hugh his son William would have succeeded (though under age) in preference to his uncle. He was probably born about 1297, but his namedoes not occur on record until about or after 1320, when he received from King Robert Bruce the lands of Morebattle in Roxburghshire and Kirkandrews in Dumfriesshire. In 1324 he was granted the lands of Rattray Crimond (not Ormond, as in Wood), Carnglass and others in Buchan. He also, when he died, owned LIddesdale, the baronies of Cavers, Drumlanrig, Terregles, and Westcalder, and part of Conveth in Aberdeenshire. He is called Lord of Galloway by Godscroft, a mistake followed by other writers; but Galloway was granted only in 1369, not to this Archiblad, but to his nephew of the same name, with whom he is sometimes confounded. He appears to have annexed Liddesdale at a late period of his career, his right to it being afterwards disputed, and when he received the other lands is uncertain, as there appears to be no record ofthe fact, but they may have been granted to him on account of his relationship to the 'Good Sir James' as his own public career is not known to have deserved so great rewards.

He was, however, forced prominently into public life by the troubles which followed the death, on 19 July 1332, of Thomas Randolph, Earl ofMoray, Regent of Scotland after the death of King Robert Bruce. He acted in vigorous opposition to the claims of Edward Baliol to the Scottish Crown, and after the capture of Sir Andrew Moray in April 1333 he was appointed to the vacant office of Regent. A few months after this he fell at the battle of Halidon Hill, 19 July 1333. Sir Archibald Douglas is said by Godscroft and others to have married a lady named Dornagilla Comyn, but so far as can be ascertained she is a mythical person. HIs only recorded wife was Beatrice Lindsay, daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Crawford, who survived him, and married, secondly, Sir Robert Erskine of Erskine. Two years after the Regent's death she was residing in the strong fortress of Cumbernauld, when it was besieged by the English, and owing to an outbreak of fire the defenders, including Beatrice Douglas and other noble ladies, were compelled to surrender, but apparently they were not prisoners for very long.
[The Scots Peerage III:140-142]
