He was again wounded and taken prisoner at Shrewsbury, and was not finally released from captivity in England till June 1408. In 1409 he obtained the Lordship of Annandale. Being made Lieut. Gen. in the French service, he was by Charles VII of France cr.

He made his solemn entry into Tours, 27 May following, but was slain a few months later at the battle of Verneuil, fighting against the Duke of Bedford. He m., before 1390, Lady Margaret Stewart, ist da. of Robert III, then Earl OF Carrick. [S.], by Anabell, da. of Sir John Drummond. He d. as afsd. 17, and was bur. 24 Aug. 1424, in the Cathedral of Tours, the capital of his Duchy.

Archibald (Douglas), Earl OF Douglas [S.], also Duke OF Tourai ne, in France, Lord of Galloway, Wigtoun, Annandale, £5?c., only surv. s. and h., b. about 1390; and called Earl of Wigtoun [S.], as early as 1410. He was a hostage in England for his father in 1407; accompanied the Scots into France in 1420, and aided in the English defeat at the battle of Bauge, 22 Mar. 1 420/1. He was in his father's lifetime (under the name of Earl of Wigtoun), cr. by Charles VII, King of France, COUNT OF LONGUEVILLE, in Normandy, receiving the territory thereof. He was one of the Ambassadors to England for the ransom of James I, in 1424, on whose death, in 1437, he was one of the Regents of the Kingdom, and next year, 1438, Lieut.

She d. between i Aug. and i Nov. 1468, when the Lordship of Bothwell, which had been settled on her in 1425, reverted to the Crown. (*) He is generally credited with a previous wife, viz. Maud, da. of David (Lindsay), ist Earl of Crawford [S.], but this seems to have been disproved, though some of the argument is founded on the false premiss that Verneuil was fought in 1426, and not, as was the case, in 1424. See Preface to Exchequer Rolk [S.], vol. vii, p. Ixvii (1884). G.E.C. and V.G. (•>) The date of 1438 on his M.I. is, apparently, an error. He is called therein " Duke of Touraine, Earl of Douglas and Longueville, Lord of Galloway, Wigtoun and Annandale," ^c.
