Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Agnes Randolph, Countess of Dunbar and March (c. 1312 – 1369) often known as Black Agnes of Dunbar because of her olive skin complexion, was the wife of Patrick, 9th Earl of Dunbar and March. She is buried in the vault near Mordington House. The daughter of Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, nephew and companion-in-arms of Robert the Bruce, and Thomas's wife, Isabel (née Stewart), Agnes became renowned for her heroic defence of Dunbar Castle against an English attack by the William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury, which began on 13 January 1338. This attack took place during the conflict which arose when Edward Balliol, with English backing, attempted to seize the Scottish crown from David II. Patrick Dunbar was fighting in the far-off Scottish army when English forces besieged his home, the great castle of Dunbar in East Lothian. Patrick’s wife, the Lady Agnes, was left alone with only a retinue of servants and a few guards to meet the English siege, but she refused to surrender the fortress, declaring that "Of Scotland's King I haud my house, He pays me meat and fee, And I will keep my gude auld house, while my house will keep me."
