Biography

Hugh (Douglas) Douglas of Borg is a member of Clan Douglas.

Hugh Douglas was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.

Hugh was the second son of Henry Douglas and Margaret Douglas.^{[1] [2]}

He married Christian Seton, daughter of George Seton, 1st Lord Seton and Christian Murray before 1479, as mentioned in the Great Seal Register.^[3][1][1] They had issue:

1. Hugh^[1]
2. George^[1]

Hugh died in or before 1507.^[1]

Research Notes

Hugh relinquished rights to Dalkeith to his cousin in 1474^[4] and one can infer he was at least 14 at the time placing his birth before 1460 with certainly. One can refine that date a bit more by observing his father's death was prior to 1456 placing Hugh's birth prior to Aug 1456 with equal certainty.^[2] It is likely he was of full age when he relinquished those rights in 1474, so that one can expect he was born before 1453 with some, but not complete, confidence.
