== Biography ==
}George Dunbar, 10th Earl of Dunbar was born circa 1370. G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A. Doubleday, Geoffrey H. White, Duncan Warrand and Lord Howard de Walden, editors, The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct or Dormant, new ed., 13 volumes in 14 (1910-1959; reprint in 6 volumes, Gloucester, U.K.: Alan Sutton Publishing, 2000), volume IV, page 509.
He was the son of George Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar and Christian de Seton.,Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes. Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A.: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 2003. Volume 1, page 1205.
He married, firstly, Beatrice (?).Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes. Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A.: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 2003. Volume 1, page 1285.
He married, secondly, Alice Hay, daughter of Sir William Hay of Lochorwart and Yester and Alice de la Haye, on 7 August 1421, although '''this marriage may not have occurred at all'''.
He succeeded to the title of 4th Earl of March and to the title of 10th Earl of Dunbarabout 1420.
He was invested as a Knight in 1424. He was simultaneously fobbed off with the cosmetic title, Earl of Buchan (never assumed by George and conferred to another person altogether a few years after).
In 1434 he was deprived of the Earldom by King James I on the pretext that the allegiance renewed by 9th Earl after 1406 had been invalid since it was negotiated with a Regent rather than King regnant, hence that the Earldom and estates remained forfeited because of the 9th Earl's treason. The true reason was King James's desire to end the power of the only intermittently loyal Earls of Dunbar once and for all.3 As a result he took flight to England, where he was paid a paltry sum from Scottish sources till his death.
He died between 1455 and 1457.
