The Douglas Family in France
Steeped in the intricate tapestry of French history, the Douglas family stands
as an enduring testament to resilience, legacy, and the fusion of cultures. With
roots tracing back centuries, their narrative intertwines with pivotal moments
in France's rich heritage, weaving a story of nobility, influence, and
adaptation.

People
The Douglases in France probably established
themselves during the 100 Years War when they
were granted lands in return for their service
to the kings.

Places
Lands were granted by the kings during the 100
years war and also acquired later, often through
marriage, are concentrated in the north-west of
the country.

Heraldry
Perhaps as a result of the Revolution, heraldry
does not appear to be as important to the
Douglases as it is in Italy. Most
individuals did not matriculate arms.

The French Section
The Douglas Archives seeks to preserve, protect and make widely
known the enormous contribution that members of the Clan Douglas
have made, and are still making, in politics, medicine,
literature, music, sport, exploration and other forms of
scientific endeavour, military campaigns and many other fields.
In this section, we cover the impact that the Douglases
have made and the family's histories. |

The Douglas Archives
This is a digital archive and so we are not able to
preserve manuscripts, artefacts, buildings or other
tangible assets. It is regretful that there is no
international clan centre that is able to do this.
However, we recognise that the great Douglas families,
the Dukes of Buccleuch and Hamilton, and the Earls of
Home and Morton, do much to protect their family
heritage, and that the Museum in the town of Douglas, in
Lanarkshire, also lays its part part.
Little of
the artefacts and art
works that maintain the families heritage seem to have
survived. |
