  === Life Sketch ===
  Patrick II (1185-1249), called "5th Earl of Dunbar", lord of Beanley, was a 13th-century Anglo-Scottish noble, and one of the leading figures during the reign of King Alexander II of Scotland.
  
  Said to be aged forty-six at the time of his father's death, this Patrick was the eldest son of Patrick I, Earl of Dunbar and Ada, daughter of King William I of Scotland. He probably succeeded to his father's lands some time before the latter's death on 31 December 1232, as his father was elderly and had been ill for some time.
  
  He renounced his claim to some disputed Marches in lower Lauderdale to the monks of Melrose, and in 1235 he, with Adam, Abbot of Melrose, and Gilbert, Bishop of Galloway, led an expedition against an uprising in Galloway. He accompanied King Alexander II of Scotland to York and was a witness and guarantor to the treaty with King Henry III of England, in 1237.
  
  Shortly after 1242 the Earl of Dunbar was sent to subdue the rebellious Thane of Argyll. The Earl held first rank among the twenty-four barons who guaranteed the Treaty of Peace with England in 1244.
  
  Holinshed relates, he accompanied Lindsay of Glenesk, and Stewart of Dundonald to crusade, where he died in 1249 at the siege of Damietta in Egypt.
  
  Before 1213, he married Euphemia (d. 1267 at Whittingehame), whom historians had previously believed to be daughter of Walter FitzAlan, 3rd High Steward of Scotland and lord of Kyle (i.e. Kyle Stewart), Strathgryfe and Bute.
  
  Euphemia's father was, however, certainly not Walter FitzAlan.

  1.) Patrick, 7th Earl of Dunbar.

  ________________________________________
  
  Patrick, sixth Earl of Dunbar, succeeded his father on 31 December 1232, but had taken an active part in dealing with the estate some time before that date. A month or so after his accession, he did homage to King Henry III for his English estates, and from the various inquisitions on the subject we learn the extent of his lands in Northumberland. On 22 February 1233 the King ordered sasine to be given, but in 1247, another inquiry was made enumerating not only the lands but the holders of them under the Earl.
  
  In 1235 the Earl took an active part in suppressing the rebellion in Galloway. In 1237, when King Alexander of Scotland resigned his rights to the three northern counties of England, Earl Patrick was the the first of the Scottish magnates who became sureties for the fulfilment of the treaty. It was this Earl, and not his father as has been stated, who in 1245 took part in an attempt to settle a dispute as to marches between the Canons of Carham and Bernard de Hawden, a neighbouring landowner on the Scottish side, which involved a settlement of the boundaries between the two countries.
  
  In 1247, owing, it is said, to remorse for injury done by him to the monastic house of Tynemouth, a cell of St Albans, in his irritation at the long dispute between the lords of Beanley and the monks as to the churches of Bewick and Eglingham, Earl Patrick made up his mind to join the crusade to the Holy Land, projected by King Louis IX of France. To defray expenses he sold or transferred his stud of horses in Lauderdale to the Abbot and Convent of Melrose. The sale took place on 29 August 1247, and was confirmed by King Alexander II on 28 November the same year. A Few months later the Earl had started on his journey. His last transaction in Scotland appears to have been a confirmation on 14 April 1248, of a grant by Mr William of Greenlaw, to the monks of Melrose, which the Earl made in the presence of King Alexander at Berwick, and before 28 June he had left the country. But he never reached Palestine, as his death at Marseilles is recorded by the chronicler of Lanercost. The same writer tells also two stories which give us a very favourable view of the Earl's character. One is that the Earl had issued invitations to a feast, but many more guests arrived than preparation had been made for. When his steward informed him of the lack of provisions thus caused, the Earl ordered the kitchen to be set on fire, risking rather the loss of his house than the tarnishing of his reputation for hospitality. The other story, for which the narrator vouches, concerns his forgiving and lenient conduct to a robber whom he had rescued from the gallows and placed in a position of trust, but who tried to murder his master. The Earl, however, made light of it, and gave the rascal money to escape.
  
  This Earl had two great seals, and two privy seals. The first great seal, used during his father's lifetime, round, shows an equestrian figure riding to sinister, with a sword raised in his right hand. He wears a square-topped helmet and carries a heater-shaped shield without any device. Legent, 'SIGILL. PATRICII FILLI COMITIS PATRICII.' His seal as Earl is also round, showing an equestrian figure fiding to dexter, wearing a flat-topped helmet, having a sword in right hand, and carrying on left arm a heater-shaped shield charged with a lion rampant. Legen, 'SIGILLVM PATRICII COMITIS DE DVNBAR.' One of his privy seals shows a lion rampant, with legent, 'SECRETVM P. COMIT.'
  
  He married Euphemia, daughter of Walter, the third High Steward of Scotland, with whom he received the estate of Birkynside, in Lauderdale, which he burdened with a merk of silver to be paid yearly for the benefit of the church of Dryburgh. The Countess survived her husband, dying perhaps in or about 1267. From the chronicler of Lanercost, who tells a somewhat decorated anecdote of the strained relations between her and her eldest son, we learn she resided, in her later years, at Whittinghame, in East Lothian. The same writer also states that he was present when mother and son were reconciled at her deathbed, he asking her forgiveness. [The Scots Peerage III:255-257]

   Note: Pages 253 - V. PATRICK, fifth Earl of Dunbar, but the first who describes himself by that title, though Fordun styles him Earl of Lothian, 'Comes Lodensis,' when relating his marriage, was born in 1152. Earl Patrick held the earldom for fifty years, and died in 1232. Earl Patrick was twice married ; first, in 1184, to Ada, a natural daughter of King William the Lion. She was the foundress of a nunnery at St. Bothans, now Abbey St. Bathans ; and died in 1200. The Earl married, secondly, between 1215 and 1218, Christina, widow of William de Brus of Annandale. He had issue: 1. PATRICK, who succeeded, and of whom hereafter. 2. William, who is described as son of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. 3. Sir Robert, who on 29 August 1247 is named by the sixth Earl as his brother. 4. Ada, who was married, first, to William de Curtenay, without issue. He died before 11 September 1217, and between 1218 and 1220 she was married, secondly, to Theobald de Lascelles, who left her again a childless widow before October 1225.6 She is further said to have married her father's cousin William, son of Patrick of Greenlaw, and through him to have been the ancestress of the family of Home. She certainly was styled Lady of Home. Earl Patrick had apparently other children, perhaps daughters, but their names are unknown. VI. PATRICK, sixth Earl of Dunbar, succeeded his father on 31 December 1232, but had taken an active part in dealing with the estate some time before that date. A month or so after his accession, he did homage to King Henry in. for his English estates, and from the various inquisitions on the subject we learn the extent of his lands in Northumberland.

It was this Earl, and not his father as has been stated, who in 1245 took part in an attempt to settle a dispute as to marches between the Canons of Oarham and Bernard de Hawden, a neighbouring landowner on the Scottish side, which involved a settlement of the boundaries between the two countries. In 1247, owing, it is said, to remorse for injury done by him to the monastic house of Tynemouth, a cell of St. Albans, in his irritation at the long dispute between the lords of Beanley and the monks as to the churches of Bewick and Eglingham, Earl Patrick made up his mind to join the crusade to the Holy Land, projected by King Louis ix. of France. To defray expenses he sold or trans- ferred his stud of horses in Lauderdale to the Abbot and Convent of Melrose.

He married Euphemia, daughter of Walter, the third High Steward of Scotland, with whom he received the estate of Birkynside, in Lauderdale, which he burdened with a merk of silver to be paid yearly for the benefit of the church of Dryburgh. The Countess survived her husband, dying perhaps in or about husband, dying perhaps in or about 1267. From the chronicler of Lanercost, who tells a somewhat decorated anecdote of the strained relations between her and her eldest son, we learn she resided, in her later years, at Whittinghame, in East Lothian. The same writer also states that he was present when mother and son were reconciled at her deathbed, he asking her forgiveness. The sixth Earl had issue : 1. PATRICK, who succeeded as Earl, of whom hereafter. 2. Waldeve, the clerk, rector of Dunbar, is named as son of Earl Patrick in an indult to him by Pope Innocent iv. to hold an additional benefice, dated at Lyons 3 February 1245. He also appears in a charter granted by Sir Alexander Seton of Seton, dated about 1271. According to the Lanercost chronicler Earl Patrick and his wife had several children, and a William and a Robert appear in the writ of 14 April 1248, as if they were sons of the Earl. But by comparison of writs it would rather appear that they were his brothers. (See under the fifth Earl.)

Siblings were: William, Sir Robert and Ada. Succeeded his father to become 6TH EARL OF DUNBAR on 31 December 1232. Died while on crusade after June 28 1248. Married Euphemia, daughter of Walter, 3rd High Steward of Scotland. Children: Patrick who succeeded as 7th Earl of Dunbar, and Waldeve the clerk, rector of Dunbar. Parents married in 1184, Patrick was the oldest of 4 known children and his mother died in 1200, therefore Patrick was born between 1184 and 1197.

With him were the Queen and two of his brothers, Robert, Count of Artois, and Charles, Count of Anjou. He was followed by his cousins, Hugh, Duke of Burgundy, and Peter, Count of Brittany, both of whom had been Crusaders in 1239, by Hugh X of Lusignan, Count of La Marche, King Henry III’s stepfather, who had been as a young man on the Fifth Crusade, by William of Dampierre, Count of Flanders, by Guy III, Count of Saint-Pol, whose father had been on the Third and Fourth Crusades, by John, Count of Sarrebruck, and his cousin John of Joinville, Seneschal of Champagne, the historian, and by many lesser folk. Some of them embarked at Aigues-Mortes, others at Marseilles. Joinville and his cousin, who had nine knights each, chartered a boat from the latter port.* An English detachment under William, Earl of Salisbury, grandson of Henry II and Fair Rosamond, followed close behind. Other English lords had planned to join the Crusade, but Henry III had no wish to lose their services and arranged for the Pope to block their passage. From Scotland came Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, who died on his journey at Marseilles.

   Note: Waldeve was succeeded by Patrick fifth Earl of Dunbar, on whom William I., in 1184, perhaps in gratitude for the services of his father, bestowed Ada, one of his, natural daughters, in marriage...This venerable person enjoyed the earldom fifty years, and died in 1232, when he was buried among the holy sisters in the con- vent church of Eccles, which his grandfather had founded. By his countess Ada, who died in 1200, he had two sons and a daughter : Patrick, who succeeded him, and William, (who, in a donation granted to the monastery of Kelso in 1241, is designated filius Comitis Patricii: he died in 1253 ; and Ada, who got from her father the lands of Home, and was married, first, to a gentleman of the name of Courtenay Jjy whom she had no issue ; and, next to her cousin, William, son of Patrick, before mentioned, who, assum- ing the name of Home from his wife's estate, laid the foundation of that border clan. Pages 20 - 21 Patrick, SIXTH EARL OF DUNBAR, succeeded his father in 1231, at the age of forty-six. Like his predecessors he courted the favour of the church, and granted a messuage in the burgh of Dunbar to the monks of Dryburgh; and to the canons of the same place, an annuity of a mark of silver in support of their church, on condition that they offered prayers for the safety of the souls of King William, of his own father and mother, and of his wife; while to the monks of Melrose he renounced his claim to some disputed marches in lower Lauderdale. In 1235, Patrick took the field in an expedition against the Galwegians. The Scottish army under the command of Patrick earl of Dunbar, together with Adam, abbot of Melrose, and Gilbert, a monk of that convent, (lately made Bishop of Galloway,) routed the rebellious Galwegians with great slaughter, which led to tranquillity in the kingdom, and restored the daughters of Alan to their father's domains. The Earl of Dunbar accompanied Alexander II to York, and was a witness and guarantee of his treaty with Henry II. in 1237. In 1242 an unfortunate occurrence took place, upon which the Earl of Dunbar and other noblemen demanded justice of their prince. At a royal tournament held at Haddington, the young Earl of Athol, overthrew Walter, the chief of the family of the Bissets. To revenge this affront, the same night the lodgings of the Earl were set on fire, and he, with several of his friends, was either slain or burnt to death. The king endeavored in vain to bring this atrocious assault to regular trial, as the combination of the Cumings and other nobles against the Bissets was so strong, On this occasion, the Earl of Dunbar, (whom Lord Hailes calls the most powerful baron of the southern districts,) put himself at the head of the nobles who demanded retribution. Shortly after this affair the Earl of Dunbar was sent to subdue the rebellious Thane of Argyle, who annoyed the people on the borders of his territories. Patrick reduced the Thane to so such extremity, that he was glad to sue for forgiveness from his prince, with a cord tied round his neck in token of submission. The Earl of Dunbar held the first rank among the twenty-four barons who guaranteed the treaty of peace with England in 1244; but he had not long enjoyed his peerage, when he was destined to fall a martyr to one of the fanatical expeditions of that age. At the council of Lyons, held by Innocent IV, for the purpose of excommunicating Ferdinand II from the crown of Sicily, a crusade was decreed for the quixotic purpose of recovering the Holy Land from the infidels, to be headed by Louis IX of France. Alexander sent several chosen bands to assist his ally in this mad adventure, under the command of the Earl of Dunbar, Lindsay of Glenesk, and Stewart of Dundonald, whom Holinshed characterises as captains of great wisdom, and of experience in feats of chivalry. Patrick, however, was not destined to return; for he died in 1248, at the siege of Damietta in Egypt. On his marriage with Euphemia, daughter of Walter, high steward of Scotland, to him the lands of Birkenside in Lauderdale was awarded. Patrick, seventh Earl of Dunbar, suceeded his father in 1248, In 1249, he did homage for his lands in England to Henry III...

Oldest of 3 children, siblings were William and Ada. Born in 1185, for was 46 in 1231 when he succeeded his father. Died in 1248 in Egypt, at the siege of Damietta, while on crusade. Married Euphemia, daughter of Walter High Steward of Scotland, receiving Birkenside in Lauderdale with the marriage. Was succeeded by his son Patrick, 7th Earl of Dunbar.

Two of Louis' brothers, Charles I of Anjou (husband of Beatrice) and Robert I of Artois, were also present, with their youngest brother Alphonse of Poitiers, accompanied by his wife Joan of Toulouse, departing the next year. He was followed by his cousins Hugh IV of Burgundy and Peter Maulcerc, veterans of the Barons' Crusade; by Hugh XI of Lusignan; and by Jean de Joinville and his cousin John, Count of Saarbrücken; and Olivier de Termes, veteran of the Albigensian Crusade. Some of them embarked at Aigues-Mortes, others at Marseilles. An English detachment under William Longespée, grandson of Henry II of England and his mistress Ida de Tosny (not, as rumored, Fair Rosamond) followed close behind. Other English lords had planned to join the Crusade, but Henry III had no wish to lose their services and arranged for the pope to block their passage. From Scotland came Patrick II of Dunbar and Stewart of Dundonald.[49] The Crusade begins As preparations for the Crusade were finalized, Louis made his progress towards Aigues Mortes, marked as a religious as well as royal procession. The climax of the ceremonies marking his departure from his capital saw him participate at the dedication of the new Sainte Chapelle in the royal palace, built as a reliquary to house his Holy relics of the Passion. The king of France was attempting to assume the leadership of Christendom vacated by the excommunicated emperor. Before leaving Paris for the south, Louis received the insignia of a pilgrim, the Oriflamme from the Abbey of St. Denis. Louis was conducting his Crusade as king as well as a penitent. From St. Denis, Louis walked to Notre Dame dressed as a penitent to hear mass before continuing barefoot to the Abbey of St. Antoine. On his journey south, Louis was garbed as a pilgrim at public appearances. After meeting Innocent IV at Lyons, he travelled towards the Mediterranean, dispensing justice as he went, the first French king to visit the region since his father in 1226. On 25 August, Louis sailed to his first destination, Limassol in Cyprus.[35] The Crusaders at Damietta See also: Siege of Damietta (1249) The sultan as-Salih Ayyub had spent the winter at Damascus, trying finish the conquest of Homs before the Franks invaded. He had expected them to land in Syria, and realizing that the objective was instead Egypt, the siege was lifted and he ordered his armies to follow him to Cairo. He was stricken with tuberculosis and could no longer lead his men in person and turned to his aged vizier Fakhr ad-Din ibn as-Shaikh, who had negotiated with Frederick II during the Sixth Crusade, to command the army. He sent stores of munitions to Damietta and garrisoned it with the Bedouin tribesmen of the Banū Kinana, known for their courage. He monitored the coming conflict from his camp at the village of Ashmun al-Rumman, to the east of the main branch of the Nile. Fakhr ad-Din was supported by Qutuz, later sultan himself.[57] (See a map of the area here.[58]) On 13 May 1249, a fleet of one hundred and twenty large transports were assembled and the army began to embark. A storm scattered the ships a few days later and the king finally set sail on 30 May, arriving off Damietta on 4 June 1249. Only a quarter of his army sailed with him, the rest making their way independently to the Egyptian coast.[59] Aboard his flagship the Montjoie, Louis' advisers urged a delay until the rest of his ships arrived before disembarking, but he refused. At dawn of 5 June, the landing and subsequent Siege of Damietta began. There was a fierce battle at the edge of the sea led by the king. The onslaught of the knights of France and those of Outremer under John of Ibelin prevailed against the Muslims back. At nightfall, Fakhr ad-Din withdrew over a bridge of boats to Damietta. Finding the population there in panic and the garrison wavering, the Egyptian commander decided to evacuate the city. All the Muslim civilians fled with him, with the Kinana following, but not before setting fire to the bazaars. His orders to destroy the bridge of boats were not implemented, allowing the Crusaders to enter the city. They learned from Christians who had remained that Damietta was undefended.[60] Guillaume de Sonnac wrote of how on the morning after the battle, Damietta had been seized with only one Crusader casualty.[61] The rapid capture of Damietta was unexpected, but the Nile floods would soon pin down the Crusaders. Louis, knowing the experience of the first Battle of Mansurah in 1221 during the Fifth Crusade, would not advance until the river receded. He was also waiting for the arrival of reinforcements under his brother Alphonse. In the meantime, Damietta was again transformed into a Frankish city. The Amr Ibn al-A'as Mosque became a cathedral, a site where Louis' son would later be baptized. The Genoese and Pisans were rewarded for their services, and similarly for the Venetians, repenting their hostility. The native Coptic Miaphysites were given justice by the king, welcoming his rule. Queen Margaret and the other ladies of the Crusade were summoned from Acre. Louis also welcomed his friend, Baldwin II of Constantinople, who had sold him relics of the Passion that had survived the 1204 sack of the Imperial capital. Throughout the summer months Damietta became the capital of Outremer. But to the soldiers this inaction combined with the humid heat of the Delta brought demoralization. Food began to run short, and there was disease in the camp.[62] The loss of Damietta once again shocked the Muslim world, and, like his father thirty years before, as-Salih Ayyub offered to trade Damietta for Jerusalem. The offer was rejected as Louis refused to negotiate with an infidel. Meanwhile, those responsible for the loss of the city were punished, with the Kinana emirs executed and Fakhr ad-Din and his Mamluk commanders disgraced. There was talk of a coup, but Fakhr ad-Din stopped them, his loyalty to the dynasty restoring him to favor. Troops were rushed up to Mansurah, built by al-Kamil on the site of his victory over the Crusaders of 1221. The dying as-Salih Ayyub was carried there in a litter to organize the army. Bedouins conducted guerrilla operations around the walls of Damietta, killing any Frank that strayed outside. The Franks erected dykes and dug ditches to protect the city.
