Notizen zu dieser Person

Dufugan, 1st Earl of Angus was created 1st Earl of Angus [Scotland] circa 1115.1 He was probably a descendant of Dubucan, a Mormaer of Angus in the 10th century.1 The title of Earl of Angus is an ancient one in the Peerage of Scotland, currently held by the Duke of Hamilton. Angus was one of the seven original earldoms of the Pictish kingdom of Scotland, said to have been occupied by seven brothers of whom Angus was the eldest. The Celtic line ended with Matilda (fl. 1240), countess of Angus in her own right, who married in 1243 Gilbert de Umfraville and founded the Norman line of three earls, which ended in 1381, the then holder of the title being summoned to the English parliament. Meanwhile John Stewart of Bonkyll, Berwickshire, had been created earl of Angus in a new line. This third creation ended with Margaret Stewart, countess of Angus in her own right, and widow of Thomas, 13th earl of Mar. By an irregular connection with William, 1st earl of Douglas, who had married Mar's sister, she became the mother of George Douglas, 1st Earl of Angus (c. 1380-1403), and secured a charter of her estates for her son, to whom in 1389 the title was granted by King Robert II. He was taken prisoner at Homildon Hill and died in England. Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus (1453-1514) was his great-grandson. William Douglas (1589-1660) 11th Earl of Angus, was created Marquess of Douglas in 1633 (he resigned the title of Earl of Angus and it was recreated with the marquessate, so he was also the 1st Earl of Angus in the new creation). He outlived his son Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus (c.1609-1655) and was succeeded by Archibald's son James Douglas, 2nd Marquess of Douglas (1646-1699). James' son and heir Archibald Douglas was created Duke of Douglas, Marquess of Angus and Abernethy, Viscount of Jedburgh Forest, Lord Douglas of Bonkill, Prestoun and Robertoun on 10 April 1703. He died without leaving an heir and the titles acquired with the dukedom became extinct. All his other titles devolved to his distant cousin the 7th Duke of Hamilton.
