king's See also:coronation. In 1434, however, on the ground that the See also:regent had had no See also:power to See also:reverse his See also:father's See also:forfeiture for See also:treason, March was imprisoned and his See also:castle of Dunbar seized by the king; and the See also:parliament at See also:Perth declared his lands and titles forfeited to the See also:crown. The earl, being released, retired to England with his son See also:Patrick, whose daughter and heiress See also:Margaret was ancestress of Patrick, 5th earl of See also:Dumfries, now represented by the See also:marquess of See also:Bute.
The earldom of March in the See also:house of Dunbar having thus been forfeited to the crown, James II. in 1455 conferred the See also:title, together with that of See also:warden of the See also:marches, on his second son See also:Alexander, See also:duke of See also:Albany; but this See also:prince entered into treasonable See also:correspondence with See also:Edward IV. of England, and in 1487 the earldom of March and the See also:barony and castle of Dunbar were again declared forfeited and annexed to the crown of Scotland.
The title of earl of March was next held by the house of See also:Lennox. In 1576 the earldom of Lennox became See also:extinct on the See also:death without male issue of See also:Charles (father of See also:Lady Arabella See also:Stuart), 5th earl of Lennox; and it was then revived in favour of See also:Robert Stuart, a See also:grand-See also:uncle of King James VI., second son of See also:John, 3rd earl of Lennox. But in 1579 Esme Stuart, a member of a See also:collateral See also:branch which in 15o8 had inherited the lordship of Aubigny in See also:France, came to Scotland and obtained much favour with James VI. The earldom of Lennox (soon afterwards raised to a dukedom) was taken from Robert and conferred upon Esme; and Robert was compensated by being created earl of March and See also:baron of Dunbar (1582). Robert died without legitimate issue in 1586, when the earldom of March again reverted to the crown. In 1619 Esme, 3rd duke of Lennox, was created
earl of March; and his son James was created duke of See also:Richmond in 1641. On the death without issue of Charles, 6th duke of Lennox and 3rd duke of Richmond, in 1672, his titles devolved upon King Charles II. as nearest collateral See also:heir-male. In 1675 Charles conferred the titles of duke of Richmond and Lennox and earl of March on Charles Lennox, his natural son by See also:Louise de Keroualle, duchess of See also:Portsmouth, from whom the earldom of March has descended to its See also:present holder the duke of Richmond and See also:Gordon. (See RICHMOND, EARLS AND See also:DUKES OF; and LENNOX.)
The title of earl of March in the See also:peerage of Scotland, by another creation, was conferred in 1697 on See also:- WILLIAM
- WILLIAM (1143-1214)
- WILLIAM (1227-1256)
- WILLIAM (1J33-1584)
- WILLIAM (A.S. Wilhelm, O. Norse Vilhidlmr; O. H. Ger. Willahelm, Willahalm, M. H. Ger. Willehelm, Willehalm, Mod.Ger. Wilhelm; Du. Willem; O. Fr. Villalme, Mod. Fr. Guillaume; from " will," Goth. vilja, and " helm," Goth. hilms, Old Norse hidlmr, meaning
- WILLIAM (c. 1130-C. 1190)
- WILLIAM, 13TH
William See also:Douglas, second son of William, 1st duke of See also:Queensberry. His See also:grandson William, 3rd earl of March, became 4th duke of Queensberry on the death without surviving male issue of his See also:cousin Charles, 3rd duke of Queensberry, in 1778. Dying unmarried in 181o, the several titles of the duke passed to different branches of the house of Douglas. The earldom of March is stated by See also:Sir See also:Bernard See also:Burke and other authorities to have devolved upon See also:Francis, 8th earl of See also:Wemyss, See also:great-great-grandson of See also:David, 3rd earl of Wemyss, whose wife was See also:Anne, daughter of the 1st duke of Queensberry and See also:sister of the 1st earl of March; and the title is now assumed by the earl of Wemyss. On the other See also:hand, Francis, 8th earl of Wemyss, not having been an heir of the See also:body of the 1st earl of March, Sir Robert Douglas says in The Peerage of Scotland that on the death of the 4th duke of Queensberry in 1810 " the earldom of March, it is supposed, became extinct."
