| The family fell into dispute with the Royal family after the rejection of his daughter Elizabeth by David Stewart, eldest son of King Robert III, in favour of a daughter of the Earl of Douglas. This focussed the rivalry between the Dunbars and the powerful Douglases. George supported the English against the Scots at the battle of Homildon Hill (14.09.1402) and also supported Henry IV of England at the battle of Shrewsbury. His son played a low profile and appeared to be on good terms with King James I but the King used the excuse of the treason to forfeit the earldoms. | |||||||||||||||

| There is some confusion with this lady. She may have been daughter of the Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, who married Agnes Randolph.
