Notities over Lady Agnes Dunbar

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Dunbar_(mistress)_

Agnes Dunbar (fl. late 14th century) was a mistress of King David II of Scotland, son of Robert the Bruce. She was the niece (and possibly fosterling) of Agnes Randolph, Countess of Dunbar and March. She was first married to a man called Robert, and they had children.

She appears to have became a mistress of King David II around 1369, as payments to her began then. A payment of 1000 merks, a very large sum at that time, was arranged for her a month before the king died suddenly in February 1371, which indicates that he had been very likely planning to marry her.

On 21 November 1372 she married Sir James Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith. Their great-grandson was James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton.

From page 687 of The Encyclopaedia Britannica: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information, Volume 17 Britannica Company, 1911 - Encyclopedias and dictionaries

Black Agnes [SIC] also bore to the Earl of March two daughters, the elder of whom, Agnes, after being the mistress of King David ll, married Sir James Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith, from whom were descended the first three Earls of Morton; Elizabeth, the younger daughter of Patrick Dunbar, married John Maitland of Lethington, ancestor of the Duke of Lauderdale, whose second title was Marquess of March.

From [The Scots Peerage VI:344-348]

Sir James Douglas married, first, Agnes Dunbar, daughter of Sir Patrick Dunbar by Isabella Randolph, and sister of George, Earl Of March. The marriage appears to have taken place between 8 and 21 November 1372, or perhaps on the latter date. She came to her husband with a large dowry, not of broad lands only, though these, as already indicated, were extensive, but only a month before his death King David II made a grant to her of six hundred merks of sterlings yearly from the customs of Aberdeen, and four hundred merks yearly from the customs of Haddington, a thousand merks in all, for her dress, personal furnishings, and other necessaries, though it has been suggested that the annuity ceased at her marriage. Her relations with the King, and the payments made on her behalf in 1360 and 1370, have called forth the opinion that her influence as favourite was beginning to supersede that of Queen Margaret Logie, whom the King was then endeavouring to divorce. Agnes Dunbar or Douglas died some time before October 1378.
