Patrick de Dunbar, 6th Earl of Dunbar; member of a pro-English group among the Scots nobility, as which managed to get the boy King Alexander III away from the dominance of the Comyn family, becoming in consequence 1255 Regent of Scotland and Guardian to Alexander and his young consort (dau of Henry III of England); commanded a division of the Scottish army in the victory over Norsemen at Largs 1263. [Burke's Peerage]
Jim Weber notes: "Even though CP, below, and BP, above, do not mention Christina Bruce (in fact CP states that it is an error), I have added her as a 2nd/alternative wife, and mother of Cecilia Dunbar, who supposedly was wife of James Stewart (again without any source that I have seen)."
EARLDOM OF DUNBAR (VI)
PATRICK (DE DUNBAR), EARL OF DUNBAR [SCT], son and heir, aged 35 when served heir to his father's lands in England, 13 December 1248. He was one of the English faction in 1255, in which year he rescued Alexander III from the power of the Comyn family, and was nominated in September 1255, REGENT [SCT] and Guardian of the King and Queen. He held a command against the Norwegians, at Largs, in 1263; was a signatory to the treaty, 6 July 1266, for the cession of the Hebrides and the Isle of Man to Scotland; as also to the marriage contract of Margaret of Scotland with Eric of Norway, 25 July 1281; and again in February 1283/4, to the succession of the "Maid of Norway" to the throne of Scotland.
He married, 1242, Cecil [a], daughter of John. He died at Whittingham, 24 August 1289, aged 76, and was buried at Dunbar. [Complete Peerage IV:506, XIV:283, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
[a] See chartulary of Coldstream, nos. 1 and 9, and chartulary of Kelso, nos. 77 and 81. She is conjectured to have been an heiress of the family of Fraser, in consequence of which alliance this Earl (4 Nov. 1261) bore (being the first of his race who did so) the roses of the house of Fraser in a bordure round the lion rampant of Dunbar. Christian Bruce (sister of Robert Bruce, the competitor, 1291-92, for the throne of Scotland) is the wife assigned to him in Wood's 'Douglas', but erroneously. (ex inform. A. H. Dunbar).
