=== THOMAS (DE DUNBAR), EARL OF MORAY [SCT], ===
THOMAS (DE DUNBAR), EARL OF MORAY [SCT], son and heir, was sheriff of Inverness during his father's lifetime. In 1396 he confirmed to Elgin a charter of Alexander II, and in January 1398/9 was named of the advisory council to the Duke of Rothesay, and appointed the King's Lieutenant for reform of the government. He accompanied the Earl of Douglas [SCT] in his raid into Northumberland in 1402, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon, 4 September. He returned to Scotland on his release, about July 1405. At some time before the end of that year he had a grant of the sheriffdom of Banff from the Earl of Crawford [SCT], and in 1405 was acting as trustee for the funds for rebuilding Elgin Cathedral. In June 1412 he had a safe conduct to go through England on a pilgrimage to St. John of Amiens. He married, before February 1391/2, Margaret, whose parentage is not known. She presumably died before January 1421/2. He, for whom a 2nd marriage has been suggested, was living in the early part of 1415. [Complete Peerage IX:174-5]
