About Sir William Douglas, 1st of Whittinghame
Note: This profile needs primary sourcing added. A secondary source below indicates that two exist. As of late 2022, Medlands' Scotland Earls 1162-1398 mentions only one son of Sir James Douglas named William, and the mother of the one was Elizabeth Stewart, Princess of Scots. – (Ken Shelley, 22 May 2023)

Notes: Two Google Books reviewers deem the source to be loaded with errata—one-star rated. Two Amazon reviews give the source a 5-Star rating without commenting why.
Problem with Source Access: There's one academic library in Scotland showing on World.cat.org as possessing Vol. 1 of this book. Broadening the scope (not including a specific volume) brings up only one other library: New Zealand. Whether this three-volume work will be meticulously emended is unknown. If it ever is reworked, it would only become available to subscribers for reading online at Burke's Peerage.2. Johnston, G. H.

Johnston, p. 67 (273). Available at: Google Books, Whittinghame, nr. 273. – Note: This public domain book mentions two primary sources:– Great Seal Register (aka Registrum magni sigilli regum Scotorum) and the Privy Council Register. Locating in these sources the information found in this book would be useful.
