The Drummonds, according to unvarying tradition, are of Hungarian origin, Maurice, the first of that family who settled in Scotland, having come from that country in 1066 with Edgar the Atheling and Margaret, his sister, afterwards wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland. Maurice adopted the name Drummond from the Gaelic 'druim' and 'monadh', that is 'back of the mountain'. Maurice was the son of George, a younger son of Andreas, King of Hungary. Andreas could trace his ancestry to Arpad, the Magyar king who conquered Hungary (d. 907), who m. a dt. of Jaroslav, the king of Novgorod and Kiev. Jaroslav was descended from the Swedish Viking Rurik (d. 870), who became king of Novgorod. The Swedish conquerors were called the Rus, or fair-haired, from which the word 'Russia' is derived

Notes:

Anabella Drummond (c. 1350? 1401) was the queen consort of Scotland by marriage to Robert III of Scotland. She was the daughter of Sir John Drummond, of Stobhall, near Perth, 11th Thane of Lennox and Chief of Clan Drummond, and Mary Montifex, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Sir William de Montifex, Justiciar of Scotland. It has been erroneous postulated that her father was the same John Drummond that was a brother to Margaret Drummond, Queen of Scotland but as this does not align with any historical dates, the latter John was probably a close ancestor.
She married John Stewart (the future Robert III of Scotland) in 1367. Soon, she was enveloped in a power struggle with her husband's brother, Robert. Since Anabella and John did have two daughters, but no sons for several years, he was a supporter of a law that would bar women from inheriting the throne.

Queen
Anabella was crowned with Robert at Scone Palace when he came to the throne in 1390. She continued bearing children until she was past forty and had her last child, the future James I of Scotland, in 1394.

King Robert, an invalid since 1384 due to an accident with a horse, grew increasingly despondent and incompetent throughout his reign and was not capable to govern. During this time he is said to have said to her that he should be buried in a dung heap with the epitaph "Here lies the worst of kings and the most miserable of men".

Because the king was not able to rule, Anabella was prompted to manage state affairs as de facto ruler. The chronicles of Scotland generally praise queen Anabella and her conduct as queen. Protecting the interests of her oldest son, David, she arranged a great tournament in 1398 in Edinburgh, where her oldest son was knighted. In April of that year she also called a council where he was created Duke of Rothesay and Lieutenant of the Realm in the same year. Shortly after his mother's death he would be imprisoned by his uncle and died in mysterious circumstances. David was described as debauched, self-indulgent and erratic, and the Duke of Albany did not have to fight hard to control him.

The Fife burgh of Inverkeithing was a favorite residence of the queen. Her presence is still recalled in the sandstone font, decorated with angels and heraldry, which she presented to the parish church of the town, one of Scotland's finest surviving pieces of late medieval sculpture.

Anabella died in Scone Palace in October 1401, and was buried at her birthplace of Dunfermline. With the loss of her protection, her eldest son David would become the prey of his uncle, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, dying shortly after

Annabella married King Robert III STEWART, of Scotland on 13 Mar 1365 in Dispensation, Kyle, Ayrshire, Scotland. Robert (son of King Robert II Of SCOTLAND and Elizabeth MURE, of Rowallan) was born on 14 Aug 1337 in Dundonald Castle, Kyle, Ayrshire, Scotland; was christened in 1337 in Dundonald, Ayrshire, Scotland; died on 4 Apr 1406 in Rothesay Castle, Rothesay, Bute, Scotland; was buried in Apr 1406 in Paisley Abbey, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.

Sir William Douglas, 6th Baron of Drumlanrig, had a charter as 'son and heir apparent of James Douglas of Drumlanrig' of the Barony and Castle of Drumlanrig, 19 May 1492 (i.e. during his father's lifetime). He also had charters of land in Dalgarnock, 22 Aug 1500; of the Barony of Tibbers, 23 Feb 1509; and of the Barony of Hawick, 15 jun 1511.


Death: Sept 1513 at Flodden, or possibly as a result of wounds sustained at the battle.(1)


Father: James (Sir) (5th Baron of Drumlanrig) Douglas
Mother: Janet Scott, dau of David Scott of Buccleuch

Marriage 1 Elizabeth, dau of Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar

Married: 1470??
He married Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of Sir Robert Stewart.


Children
James (Sir) (7th Baron of Drumlanrig) Douglas
Robert - ancestor of Douglas of Burford. He held the office of Provost of Lincluden
Janet (of Drumlanrig) Douglas = Robert, 5th Lord Maxwell, 4 June 1509 (Some say 4th Lord Maxwell)
Agnes? = Andrew Cunnyngham of Birkshaw (but see also Marion, dau of the 6th Laird
I also record John Douglas, father of Mr Douglas of Craigincune, but this is not recognised by some other sources. He is the forebear of the Douglas of Arlkand family.(2)


Notes:

1. Sir William died on 10 September 1513, the day after Flodden, 'on the field of war,' as appears from an inventory of his goods made by his widow, he dying intestate.

2. John, described as brother of James Douglas of Drumlanrig in letters of remission to them and many others for the murder of Thomas Maclellan of Bomby, dated 25 August 1526.
On 2 March 1545-46 he, by a very curious bond, pledged himself to his elder brother that if from that day forward he played at cards, dice, tables, or other games he would renounce all his heritages to his brother, who had given him ?48 money down, gold and silver, to abstain from such play.
He was probably the father of Mr. John Douglas of Craigincune, who in 1578 is described as 'brothir sone' of Sir James Douglas of Drumlanrig.

Notes:

Annabella Stewart (ca. 1436 ? 1509) was the youngest daughter of King James I and Joan Beaufort.

Annabella was presumably named after her father's mother, Annabella Drummond. She was the youngest of the six daughters and two sons of James I and Joan Beaufort. Her sisters were Margaret, Isabella, Eleanor, Mary and Joan, and her brothers were James II of Scotland and his twin brother Alexander, who died in infancy.

Her first husband was Louis of Savoy, Count of Geneva whom she married in 1447 on either 1 April or 14 December. However, in the year 1458 they separated, divorced and the marriage was annulled upon the request of Charles VII of France.

Annabella returned to Scotland and married George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly. Notwithstanding this alliance, her ill fate pursued her, and she was legally divorced from her second husband by a sentence pronounced in the year 1471 which proceeded on the ground of consanguinity with his first wife, Elizabeth Dunbar, 8th Countess of Murray, as the two ladies were within the third and fourth degrees of relation.

Annabella and her second husband, the Earl of Huntly had issue:
?Isabella (d. 1485), wife of William Hay, 3rd Earl of Errol (d. 1507).
?Alexander (d. 1523), 3rd Earl of Huntly (as established in The Dictionary of National Biography, 1921? 22).

She was thought also to have been mother to another four of his children, however this has not been proved nor disproved.
Lord Byron claimed descent from Princess Annabella through his mother, Catherine, daughter of George Gordon, 12th Lord of Gight. Byron wrote: "By her [Annabella] he [the 2nd Earl of Huntly] left four sons: the third, Sir William Gordon, I have the honour to claim as one of my progenitors."

Additional Info. on Princess Annabella of Scotland:

Annabella of Scotland (ca 1433 ? after 1471) was the youngest daughter of King James I and Joan Beaufort.

First marriage:

Her first husband was Louis of Savoy, Count of Geneva whom she married in 1447 on either April 1 or December 14. However, in the year 1458 they separated, divorced and the marriage was annulled upon the request of Charles VII of France.

Second marriage:

Annabella returned to Scotland and married George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly. Notwithstanding this alliance, her ill fate pursued her, and she was legally divorced from her second husband by a sentence pronounced in the year 1471 which proceeded on the ground of consanguinity with his first wife, Elizabeth Dunbar, 8th Countess of Murray, as the two ladies were within the third and fourth degrees of relation.

Children:

Annabella and her second husband, the Earl of Huntly had issue:

- Isabella (d.1485), wife of William Hay, 3rd Earl of Errol (d.1507).
- She was thought also to have been mother to another five of his children, however this is thought improbable.
[What is certain is that there were no sons.]

Comments from Douglas Hickling via Rootsweb database:
"Probably the last and most authoritative word on Annabella's children as the Countess of Huntly belongs to Alison Weir in BRITAIN'S ROYAL FAMILIES, at 232. She regards Isabel as the only probable child of Annabella's marriage to the earl. She says that "Annabella was also possibly, but improbably," the mother of Janet, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Agnes. Weir shows no sons resulting from this marriage, and says that it is "highly improbable" that Alexander, 3rd Earl of Huntly, was her son. Obviously, if Alexander was not Annabella's child, then neither were the younger sons and daughters. Without mentioning him, Weir seems generally to agree with Ferrerius in identifying Annabella's children by the second earl. My own view is that, had Riddell not erroneously copied the date of the 1466 writ as 1476 or had Elizabeth Hay been the royal princess instead of Annabella, the Gordon family historians would have continued to follow Ferrerius."
