Family
Some accounts describe her as Countess of Moray, on the assumption that she inherited the earldom when her brother John was killed at the Battle of Neville's Cross. However, the earldom actually reverted to the crown, although it was later granted to her nephew.
It seems that there were no surviving children of the marriage between Agnes and the Earl. Their estates were left to children of the marriage between the Earl's cousin John de Dunbar of Derchester and Birkynside and his wife, Isobel Randolph, Agnes's younger sister.
The three nephews were:
- George, Earl of Dunbar and March
- John Dunbar, Earl of Moray
- Sir Patrick de Dunbar, of Beil
She also had a ward, Agnes Dunbar, who became mistress of King David II.
