  === DONALD, EARL OF MAR [SCT], son and heir, ===
  DONALD, EARL OF MAR [SCT], son and heir, who succeeded when a child. He was brought up at the English court, and so strong was his attachment to England or to the English King that when, after Bannockburn, the Earl of Hereford was exchanged for the Bishop of Glasgow, the Earl of Mar, and tbe wIfe, sister (? the Earl's mother), and daughter of Robert Bruce, Donald of Mar, on reaching Newcastle, turned back from the journey and chose to remain in England. In July 1319 he was going to Scotland in the English King's service, and in June 1320 was in Edward's train on his journey to France to do homage for Ponthieu and Aquitaine. The following February he had protection for a pilgrimage to Santiago. As Donald de Mar, the King's yeoman, he was appointed Keeper of Newark Castle, 30 January 1321/2, and was with Edward II when he was surprised by the Scots at Byland in October of that year. When the opposition to Edward II began to merge into rebellion, the Earl received two commissions to act with his whole company in the Marches of Wales, &c., against rebels and invaders. After the King's capture and deposition the Earl repaired at last to Scotland, in the hope of raising forces to restore Edward, and he led one of the three armies which entered England in July 1327, and achieved the discomfiture of the English without an encounter. After this return to his native country his own grant to Cupar and King Robert's grants to him (describing him as the King's nepbew) style him EARL OF MAR. After the death of the Earl of Moray (July 1332) the Earl of Mar, in spite of his leanings to Edward Baliol and his almost lifelong absence in England, was chosen Regent to succeed Moray (2 August), probably by reason of his close relationship to the young King. His training and experience could not have equipped him for the duties, military or political, of such a position, and he was killed on the 12th of the month in the battle of Dupplin, where the invading Baliol and the "disinherited lords" were victorious. He married Isabel STEWART. He died. as aforesaid, 12 August 1332. She married, 2ndly, before 15 September 1334, Geoffrey Moubray "of Scotland," from whom she was divorced before Easter 1336. She married, 3rdly (licence to marry 3 June 1339] William CARESWELL, who survived her. She died between 15 June 1347, when she and her husband were in London, and 15 January 1347/8.

  Domhnall II of Mar (c. 1302 in Saline, Fife – August 11, 1332) was Regent of Scotland for just over a week during the minority of David II.
  
  His father was Gartnait of Mar, and his mother was Christina Bruce, sister of Robert I of Scotland. In 1332 the regent, Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, died. On August 2 Domhnall was elected as the new regent at a meeting of the Scottish nobles at Perth.
  
  Following the invasion of Edward Balliol, with the support of Edward III of England, Mar led the Scots loyalists to confront them. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of Dupplin Moor, only nine days after his election as regent.
  
  Through his marriage to Isabella Stewart they had a son Thomas, and a single daughter, Margaret, who succeeded her brother and became in her turn Countess of Mar.

  [edit] Background
  The death of Robert I in 1329 left Scotland with a four-year-old king. David II (1329-1371). His right to the throne was far from absolute and, in the early 1330s was challenged by Edward Balliol, son of John Balliol, John I of Scotland. The rebels were known as 'The Disinherited' due to the fact that they lost their land as a consequence of the Battle of Bannockburn.
  
  In the winter of 1331, in response to the urgings of Henry Beaumont chief among the disinherited, Balliol left his home in France and came to England, where he settled in Standal Manor in Yorkshire. Beaumont then visited the Edward III, the young English king. The purpose of the meeting was recorded in the Brut Chronicle: So came Sir Henry of Beaumont to Kyng Edward of Engeland and praiede him, in way of charitie, that he wolde grant of his grace unto Sir Edward Balliol that he moste safliche gone bi land from Sandall for to conquere his ritz heritage in Scotland. Edward agreed to let him go, but by sea, not land.
  
  By the summer of 1332 all of the preparations for the expedition were complete. The size of the force assembled by Balliol and Beaumont cannot be established with any real accuracy, but the sources all agree that it was fairly modest: the Bridlington Chronicle suggests a figure of 500 men-at-arms and 1000 foot; Henry Knighton, prone on occasions to wild exaggeration, puts forward a figure of 300 men-at-arms and 3000 foot; while the Lanercost Chronicle, probably the most reliable, suggests a total force in the region of 1500 to 2800. All agree that by far the largest proportion of the footmen were archers, armed with the longbow. By mid July Balliol's little armada of some 88 ships waited for the right moment to sail. It came with the news that Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, the guardian of the infant David, had died suddenly on 20 July.
  
  [edit] Battle
  The rebels and their English allies sailed on 31 July from several Yorkshire ports to Kinghorn in Fife to get round the terms of the Treaty of Northampton that did not permit English forces to cross the Tweed. From Kinghorn they marched to Dunfermline and then on towards Perth. On 10 August they camped at Forteviot, just south of the River Earn, a few miles short of their objective. To the north of the river Donald, Earl of Mar, the new regent, had taken up position with a much stronger force on the heights of Dupplin Moor. The disinherited now faced one Scottish army to their front with another commanded by Patrick Earl of Dunbar fast approaching from the rear.
  
  In view of their predicament it comes as no surprise that morale in Balliol's camp began to sink. According to Thomas Gray, the disinherited lords were so dismayed by the size of Mar's army that they accused Henry Beaumont of having betrayed them with false promises of Scottish support for Balliol. But Beaumont, the most experienced soldier on either side, reacted to this dangerous situation with coolness and precision. It was obvious that they could not wait for Dunbar to link up with Mar. He decided to risk crossing the Earn at night, and launching a surprise attack on the enemy.
  
  On the opposite bank of the river the Scots had a clear view of Balliol's ludicrously small army. Mar was so confident of his strength and the superiority of his position that he did not even bother to set a watch, and his army settled down on the night of 10 August, relaxed enough to spend much of the time drinking, convinced of an easy victory the following day. At midnight, unobserved by the carousing Scots, Sir Alexander Mowbray led a picked force across a nearby ford shown to him by the sole traitor from the Scottish camp, one Murray of Tullibardine.
  
  After crossing the ford Mowbray climbed up the rising ground towards Gask, where he immediately attacked the slumbering Scottish camp followers, in the mistaken belief that he had encountered Mar's host. He learned his mistake by daybreak on 11 August; but by that time the rest of the army had safely crossed the Earn and taken up a strong defensive position on some high ground at the head of a narrow valley. Mar had been outflanked. Learning of the rapid approach of the main Scots force, Balliol's army was ordered to form a line, with the archers projecting outwards on both flanks and the men-at-arms in the centre, the whole formation resembling a quarter moon. All were dismounted, save for a small group of Germans to the rear. Beaumont now made ready to employ tactics that had been demonstrated in outline at Boroughbridge ten years before, which in their fully evolved form were to allow the English to dominate the battlefields of Britain and western Europe for the next hundred years.
  
  The Scots were angry that their enemy had been allowed to carry out so simple a manoeuvre under their noses. Lord Robert Bruce, the illegitimate son of the late king, made no secret of his conviction that Mar's incompetence was evidence of treachery. Mar denied this, and like the Earl of Gloucester at Bannockburn, resolved to be the first into battle. Lord Robert claimed this honour for himself and both charged off to destruction, followed by their disorganised schiltrons, all semblance of generalship gone. Bruce and Mar's wild charge was met by great clouds of arrows, which fell in rapid succession on the Scottish flanks. Each bowman was so skilled, and could fire at such speed, that he had several arrows in the air at one time. The badly armoured Scots with their unvizored helmets had no protection against the repeated volleys. Bruce's battalion, pushing through the storm of missiles, was the first to make contact with the enemy centre, forcing Beaumont and the men-at-arms to yield some ground. But the arrow fire was so unrelenting and fierce that his flanks converged towards the middle, as if seeking shelter from a storm. The front units were pushed forward on to Beaumont's spears. Retreat or redepoyment was made impossible by the arrival of Mar's schiltron, charging down the narrow glen, and straight into the rear of Lord Robert's men. The crush was so great that many fell never to rise again. The chronicler and historian John Capgrave describes the carnage at Dupplin thus;
  
  In this battle...more were slain by the Scots themselves than by the English. For rushing forward on each other, each crushed his neighbour, and for every one fallen there fell a second, and then a third fell, and those who were behind pressing forward and hastening to the fight, the whole army became a heap of the slain.
  
  The bodies of the Scots were piled so high above each other that it is said they reached the height of a spear. The English surrounded the bloody heap, thrusting in their swords and spears, so that no one could be taken out alive. Scots losses were heavy: Mar and Bruce were both killed, as was Thomas Randolph, 2nd Earl of Moray, the Earl of Mentieth and Alexander Fraser, the High Chamberlain. Ironically, Sir Robert Keith, who scattered Edward II's archers at Bannockburn, was also among the slain. The exact number of the dead is unknown, but estimates range from a low of 2000 to a high of 13000. English losses were light, amounting to no more than thirty-three knights and men-at-arms. The Earl of Fife tried to lead the survivors of Mar's shattered army on an orderly retreat; but this turned into a rout after Beaumont and others took to horse, charging off in pursuit. Many who escaped the carnage inflicted by the archers were cut down by the cavalry.
  
  A stone cross, now in St. Serf's Church in Dunning once marked the site of the battle.
  
  [edit] Outcome
  The Battle of Dupplin Moor was the worst Scottish defeat since the Battle of Falkirk, thirty-four years before, far exceeding the setback at Methven. The losses were heavy, but they could be made good, and Dunbar's army, probably as strong as Mar's, was still in the field. However, the worst casualty of

   Note: Domhnall II, Earl of Mar (1293 – 11 August 1332) was Regent of Scotland for just over a week during the minority of David II, King of Scotland. Domhnall's father was Gartnait, Earl of Mar. His mother's identity is uncertain, although she seems to have been an elder daughter of Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick.[1] It appears likely that he fought on the side of Edward II of England at the Battle of Boroughbridge in March 1322, as it is recorded that afterwards the Earl of Mar took Bartholomew de Badlesmere, who was one of Edward's captured opponents, to Canterbury.[2] In 1332 the regent of Scotland, Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, died. On 2 August Domhnall was elected as the new regent at a meeting of the Scottish nobles at Perth. Following the invasion of Edward Balliol, with the support of Edward III of England, Mar led the Scots loyalists to confront them. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of Dupplin Moor, only nine days after his election as regent. Through his marriage to Isabella Stewart, daughter of Sir Alexander Stewart of Bonkyll and Jean Fitz James, they had a son, Thomas of Mar, and a single daughter, Margaret of Mar, who succeeded her brother and became, in her turn, Countess of Mar.
