[Isiaha Lee.ged]

DONALD, Earl Of Mar [SCT], son and heir, who succeeded when a child. He was brought up at the English court, and so strong was his attachment to England or to the English King that when, after Bannockburn, theEarl of Hereford was exchanged for the Bishop of Glasgow, the Earl OfMar, and tbe wIfe, sister (? the Earl's mother), and daughter of Robert Bruce, Donald of Mar, on reaching Newcastle, turned back from the journey and chose to remain in England. In July 1319 he was going to Scotland in the English King's service, and in June 1320 was in Edward'strain on his journey to France to do homage for Ponthieu and Aquitaine. The following February he had protection for a pilgrimage to Santiago. As Donald De Mar, the King's yeoman, he was appointed Keeper of Newark Castle, 30 January 1321/2, and was with Edward II when he was surprised by the Scots at Byland in October of that year. When the opposition to Edward II began to merge into rebellion, the Earl received twocommissions to act with his whole company in the Marches of Wales, &c., against rebels and invaders. After the King's capture and deposition the Earl repaired at last to Scotland, in the hope of raising forces to restore Edward, and he led one of the three armies which enteredEngland in July 1327, and achieved the discomfiture of the English without an encounter. After this return to his native country his own grant to Cupar and King Robert's grants to him (describing him as the King's nepbew) style him Earl Of Mar. After the death of the Earl of Moray (July 1332) the Earl Of Mar, in spite of his leanings to Edward Baliol and his almost lifelong absence in England, was chosen Regent to succeed Moray (2 August), probably by reason of his close relationship to the young King. His training and experience could not have equippedhim for the duties, military or political, of such a position, and hewas killed on the 12th of the month in the battle of Dupplin, where the invading Baliol and the "disinherited lords" were victorious. He married Isabel STEWART. He died. as aforesaid, 12 August 1332. She married, 2ndly, before 15 September 1334, Geoffrey Moubray "of Scotland," from whom she was divorced before Easter 1336. She married, 3rdly (licence to marry 3 June 1339] William CARESWELL, who survived her. She died between 15 June 1347, when she and her husband were in London, and 15 January 1347/8.
