William Douglas, Lord of the Nithsdale, was the natural or illegitimate son of [[Douglas-404|Archbald Douglas]] and an unnamed partner.
'''Marriage'''William and [[Stewart-3216|Egidia (Jill) Stewart]] were married in August 1389 in Scotland. This union helped him acquire the Lordship of Nithsdale.
They had two children:
#[[Douglas-812|William Douglas]]
# [[Douglas-802|Egidia Douglas]]
It is said, that Sir WIlliam was assassinated in Prussia, during the year 1391, however he was apparently collecting rents in Dumfries during 1392, so he appears to have outlived his rivals, and died in Scotland sometime that year.
