"... the "good Sir James,' the friend of Robert Bruce, the most illustrious member of the Douglas family, and one of the noblest of the band of heroes who vindicated the freedom and independence of Scotland against the English arms. The romantic incidents in the career of this famous warrior and patriot would fill a volume. On the imprisonment of his father he retired to France, where he spent three years, 'exercising himself in all virtuous exercise,' says Godscroft, and 'profited so well that he became the most compleat and best-accomplished young nobleman in the country or elsewhere.' On the death of his father young Douglas returned to Scotland. His paternal estate having been bestowed by KingEdward on Lord Clifford, he was received into the household of Lamberton,Bishop of St. Andrews, with whom he 'counted kin' through his mother. Hewas residing there when Robert Bruce assumed the crown in 1305-6, and took up arms against the English invaders. Douglas, who was then only eighteen years of age, on receiving intelligence of this movement, resolved to repair at once to Bruce's standard. According to Barbour, hetook this step secretly, though with the knowledge and approval of thepatriotic prelate, who recommended him to provide himself with a suit ofarmour and to take a horse from his stables, with a show of force, thus'robbing the bishop of what he durst not give.' Lesley, Bishop of Ross,however, makes no mention of force, and says Douglas carried a large sum of money from Lamberton to Bruce. He met the future King at Erickstane,near Moffat, on his way to Scone to be crowned, and proferred him hishomage and his services, which were cordially welcomed. From that time onward, until the freedom and independence of the kingdom were fully established, Douglas never left Bruce's side, alike in adversity and prosperity, and was conspicuous both for his valour in battle and hiswisdom in council. He was present at the battle of Methven, where thenewly crowned King was defeated, and narowly escaped being taken prisoner. He was one of the samll band who took refuge, with Bruce and his Queen and other ladies, in the wilds first of Athole and then of Breadalbane, where for some time they subsisted on wild berries and thescanty and precarious produce of fishing and the chase. Barbour makesespecial mention of the exertions of Sir James Douglas to provide for thewants and to promote the comfort of the ladies."
The Great Historic Families of Scotland, by James Taylor

The story continue at length and is quite interesting. Skipping to theend:

"Godscroft states that Sir James was never married, but Dr. Fraser hasdiscovered that he was married, and left a legitimate son, who fell atHalidon. Archibald the Grim, his natural son, became third Earl ofDouglas. Sir James was succeeded by his next brother, Hugh Douglas."
