Sir James "1st Lord Dalkeith" Douglas
(Aft 1372 - 22 May 1441)
''Note.'' Sir James was "2nd Laird of Dalkeith" and "1st Lord Dalkeith". "Laird of Dalkeith" refers to the feudal barony, in which he succeeded his father, for whom the barony was erected. "Lord Dalkeith" was his style as a hereditary Lord of Parliament, he being reckoned as the 1st because, although his father sat in Parliament, this was not then regarded as a hereditary right.

''Note.'' Sir James was "Lord of Dalkeith" or "Laird of Dalkeith" which refers to the feudal barony, in which he succeeded his father, for whom that barony was erected. Feudal barons sat in Parliament as "Barones Minor". The style "Lord Dalkeith", a hereditary Lord of Parliament, has aroused a little debate as whilst it was said that King James 1st made him a Lord, evidence is wanting.[[#Maxwell1|Maxwell - Douglas Vol. I]]: [https://archive.org/stream/historyofhouseof01maxw#page/n306/mode/1up p. 237]
James, Lord of Dalkeith resigned his lands of Whittinghame into the hands of the King for a regrant to said James and his spouse Jonete (no maiden name given) and their heirs, which regrant was confirmed 13th October 1439. James appears to be a minor or in some other bother as in a further charter confirmed 7th March 1449-50 there is a new ratification due to him due to "maturity". On 22nd March 1450/51 in a new confirmation, James, Lord Dalkeith, settled Whittinghame upon his spouse Jonete. On 1st June 1459 Whittinghame was confirmed to Sir William de Douglas, Knt. The Duke of Albany as Tutor has agreed to this.
