  General Notes:

"William of Douglas, who flourished in the reign of King William the Lion (1165-1214), is the first owner of Douglas or Douglasdale, in the parish of Douglas and county of Lanark, known to authentic history. He is likewise the earliest known ancestor of the illustrious race of Douglas. His parentage remains hidden in obscurity, the single clue which promises any unfolding of the mystery being contained in a charter by one of his younger sons, Brice of Douglas, Bishop of Moray, in which he refers to Freskin of Kerdal as his uncle."

from The Douglas Book 1


William married.
