Earl George Dunbar 
George was born about 1370 in Dunbar Castle,East Lothian,Scotland.1 George's father was Earl George Dunbar Of March and his mother was Christian Seton. His paternal grandparents were Sir Patrick Dunbar and Isabel Randolph; his maternal grandparents were Lord Alan De Wintoun Of Seton and Margaret De Seton. He had a brother and a sister, named David and Marjory. He was the oldest of the three children. He died before 1457 in England.1 General Notes
George Dunbar, 10th and last Earl of Dunbar/March; knighted 1424, was removed in 1434 from the Earldom & and all Scottish lands by James I of Scotland on the pretext that the 9th Earl's negotiations for allegiance in 1406 were with the Regent, when legally they should have been with the King himself, hence that the Earldom and estates remained forfeited because of the 9th Earl's treason. (The real reason being James's determination to end the power of the only-intermittently loyal Earls of Dunbar once and for all.) The 10th Earl fled to England where he was paid a paltry sum from Scottish sources until his death. James I was rid of an often times disloyal Earldom. [Burke's Peerage]
