William Douglas of Glenbervie

William Douglas of Glenbervie

Sir William Douglas of Glenbervie, Knt., (c. 1473 – September 9, 1513) was a Scottish nobleman, who fell at Flodden.

He was the second son of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus and his wife Elizabeth Boyd, daughter of Robert Boyd, 1st Lord Boyd. He obtained the lands of Glenbervie by his marriage and was thereafter styled "Douglas of Glenbervie".

In 1493 and 1509 Douglas was in possession of charters of the lands of Grenane, in Ayrshire. The lands of Braidwood, in Lanarkshire, were confirmed to him in 1510.

William Douglas was knighted before 1511.

Elizabeth Douglas survived her husband and entered the convent of St. Catherine of Siena, on the Burgh Muir of Edinburgh. This convent was to give its name to the Sciennes area of the city.

Marriage

Douglas was pledged in marriage, by contract, in 1492, to Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of the later James Auchinleck of that Ilk, by which contract he received a grant of the wardship of Auchinleck's estates.

By Elizabeth Auchinleck, Glenbervie had one son:
*Sir Archibald Douglas of Glenbervie
