David III Strathbogie, titular Earl of Atholl

David de Strathbogie, 11th Earl of Atholl (February 1, 1309 – November 30,1335) was a Scottish peer and Lieutenant of Scotland, who was also 2nd Lord Strathbogie in the Peerage of England.

He was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1308/9 the son and heir of Sir David de Strathbogie, Knt., 10th Earl of Atholl, Constable of Scotland (who had been banished by Robert the Bruce) and Chief Warden of Northumberland, by his spouse Joan, elder daughter of Sir John Comyn of Badenoch, Joint Guardian of Scotland.

The 11th Earl was summoned to the English parliament from January 25, 1330 to July 24, 1334, by Writs directed to "David de Strabolgi comiti Athol". In 1330 the English Crown conferred upon him the castle and manor of Odogh, in Ireland, which had belonged to his great-uncle, Aymer de Valence, Knt., Earl of Pembroke.

In 1332 he accompanied Edward Balliol into Scotland and was at the victory over Scottish forces at the battle of Dupplin Moor, August 12, 1332, following which Balliol restored to him his title and estates in Scotland. He rebelled in 1334, but was pardoned at the treaty of peace in 1335.

He was killed fighting Sir Andrew Murray at the Battle of Culblean (or Kilblane), in a serious setback for Balliol's forces.

He married Katherine, daughter of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Lord Beaumont (in England), Earl of Buchan (in Scotland), hereditary Constable of Scotland, by Alice, elder daughter and co-heiress of Sir Alexander Comyn, Knt. They had one son, and a probable daughter Isabel, wife of Sir Edmund de Cornwall, Knt.

He was succeeded by his son and heir, David, 12th Earl of Atholl.
