• Notes

  Eleanor, only sister of 1st Earl of Douglas and widow of Alexander Bruce, 1st and last Earl of Carrick of the c1330 creation. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2831] Note: There is some confusion in Burke's Peerage as to Eleanor's ancestry. Pages 2831 & 418 name her "only sister of 1st Earl of Douglas". Yet page 2325 states that she is an illegitimate daughter of the 1st Earl by Margaret Stewart, Countess of Angus in her own right. I think her birth date precludes her being daughter of Margaret Stewart. ------------------------- He [Alexander de Bruce] m. Eleanor, only sister of William, 1st Earl of Douglas, daughter of Archibald Douglas, Regent of Scotland, by Beatrice, daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay, of Crawford. He d. as aforesaid, spm., 19 July 1333. His widow m. before 1349, James Sandilands, of Calder, who d. before 1358; 3rdly, before 1364 (and probably before 1361), William Towers, of Dalry; 4thly, before 1368, Sir Duncan Wallace, of Sundrum; and 5thly and lastly (as his 2nd wife, dispensation granted 18 Mar 1376), Sir Patrick Hepburn, of Hales, who was living in 1402, being then above 80 years old.
