"Sir William de Cunynghame of Kilmaurs, Earl of Carrick; married (1) LadyEleanor Bruce (died 22 June 1368), daughter of Alexander, Earl of Carrickand Margaret Douglas; married (2) before 18 Apr 1369, Margaret. Williamdied between Dec 1396 and Jul 1399.
William was Hugh's successor and was probably his son. He was createdEarl of Carrick in 1361 by King David II Bruce, probably by virtue ofmarrying Lady Eleanor Bruce, cousin to the King. She ought not to havereceived the title as it was restricted to the male-line heirs of EdwardBruce, but exception was made for her. This title reverted to the Crownon the death of Lady Eleanor, in William's own lifetime. Some sourcesdoubt the existence of Eleanor but do not explain how William couldotherwise become earl.
Burke notes: "The charter in his favour is on record, and singularlyincomplete, as if there had been a doubt as to the propriety of thegrant:- 'David, D.G. Rex Scottorum, sciatus nos dedisse concessisse ethac presenti-carta confirmasse dilicto consanguineo nostro Willielmo deCuninghame militi totum comitatum de Carryk.' ". The charter is not datedbut was probably written at Aberdeen on 12 September 1361.
Children (probably by Eleanor):
Robert de Cunynghame, died young
Sir William de Cunynghame of Kilmaurs (#3)
Thomas de Cunynghame => the Cuninghame family of Caprington
Alexander de Cunynghame
John de Cunynghame'
