General Notes:
" ..... in 1433, according to Bower, in pursuance of the King's policy of enriching the Crown at the expense of the greater nobles, he was warded in Edinburgh Castle, and his castle of Dunbar was seized. In the following year Parliament declared his earldom and estates to be forfeited to the Crown, but the reasons for this are not given in any extant record, though Bower, who gives the date of the Parliament as 7 August 1434, says it was on account of his father's misdeeds. The Ear] submitted quietly to his deprivation, and henceforth resided on his estate of Kilconquhar, in Fife, which being held of the Bishop of St. Andrews, was not affected by the forfeiture.
He is henceforth referred to as Sir George Dunbar of Kilconquhar, and survived until 4 August 1455, when he
was residing at Kilconquhar, but probably died not long after that date."
from Scots Peerage 1
George married Beatrix.1 (Beatrix was born about 1370 and died before 1421 1.)
Marriage Notes:
"He (George 11th Earl) married a lady named Beatrix, otherwise unknown, who died before 1421, when he had a dispensation to marry Alicia, daughter of Sir William Hay of Yester, though it is doubtful if this marriage took place."
