The Earldom of Moray had for a long time included the lands of Coxton as part of the 'Rental', and was one of the seven original earldoms in Scotland. It is said that great warrior king Cruthne, divided the Pictish kingdom between his seven sons. His son Fidach was given Moray. Little is known of the earlier Earls until King Robert the Bruce created his nephew Thomas Randolph Earl of Moray in 1314. The title fell vacant in 1346, when the 3rd Earl of this line was killed at the battle of Neville's Cross, although the Randolph family still claimed it. King David II created Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Lancaster the Earl in 1359 (died 1361). In 1372, John Dunbar, grandson of Thomas Randolph obtained the Earldom. The Earldom fell vacant after the murder of James Dunbar in August 1429, after which Archibald Douglas claimed the title. King James IV gave it to his illegitimate son, James Stuart. James died without any sons in 1544, so the title passed to James Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly held the title until he was killed in 1562 at Corrichie, when it reverted back to the Stuarts, when Mary Queen of Scots gave it to her half brother, James.
