=== Life Sketch ===
Sir Patrick Dunbar of Cockburn and Stranith
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONFUSE WITH HIS COUSIN Patrick, 9th Earl of Dunbar; THEY ARE NOT THE SAME
Sir Patrick of Dunbar was the son of Sir Alexander Dunbar and the grandson of Patrick, 7th Earl of Dunbar. He was present at the Battle of Durham in 1346 and fought at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. He married Isabella Randolph, daughter of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray and Regent of Scotland. Isabella and her older sister Agnes were joint heirs of their brother John Randolph, Earl of Moray. Agnes was also the wife of Patrick de Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar. PATRICK OF COCKBURN AND STRANITH AND PATRICK, 9th EARL OF DUNBAR WERE COUSINS. The 9th Earl of Dunbar died with out a living son and his nephew George, son of THIS Patrick Dunbar and his wife Isabel, succeeded him to be 10th Earl of Dunbar.
The fact that the cousins had the same name, both were Patrick Dunbar, both married Randolph sisters who were jointly heirs of John Randolph; and that the son of one cousin inherited the title of the other, has caused much confusion.
Sir Patrick of Dunbar died and was buried in Candia in 1356/57 on his way to the Holy Land.
Patrick and Isabella's children are:
- George Dunbar, became 10th Earl of Dunbar
- John Dunbar, created Earl of Moray in 1372
- Sir Patrick Dunbar of Bele (or Beil)
- Agnes Dunbar, married Sr James Douglas of Dalketh.
- Sir David Dunbar of Cumnock
- Agnes 'Elizabeth' Dunbar, married 2ndly John Maitland of Thirlstane

Sir Patrick Dunbar (before 1310 - after 1356)
Sir Patrick, in 1331, as son of Sir Alexander, son of the Earl, quit-claimed his rights in Swinwood to the monks of Coldingham. He was present at the battle of Durham in 1316, and also at Poictiers in 1356; but died and was buried at Candia, on his way to the Holy Land in 1356-57. Sir Patrick Dunbar was born before 1310. Some sources (incorrectly) state the father of George & John was John the younger brother of Patrick the 9th earl of Dunbar. He was the son of Sir Alexander Dunbar.
Sir Patrick Dunbar married Isabella Randolph, daughter of Thomas Randolph Earl of Moray and Isabel Stewart, circa 1320. He married, perhaps as his second wife, Isabella, younger daughter of Thomas Randolph, first Earl of Moray.

He fought against the English at Neville's Cross in 1346 and poitiers in 1356.
