Patrick was styled "Comes Marchiae et Moraviae" in right of his wife.
Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages" (London, 1883) reports: "Patrick
Dunbar, the 10th earl, was with his father at Carlaverock; and, after the
battle of Bannockburn, gave refuge to Edward II in his castle of Dunbar,
and secured the king's escape in a fishing boat to England. Making peace,
however, with Robert Bruce, he signed the letter to the Pope in 1320, was
appointed Governor of Berwick Castle, and held that fortress against Edward
III, until the defeat of the Scots at Halidon Hill necessitated its
surrender. Not long after, his Countess, known in history as `Black Agnes,'
dau. of the renowned Regent of Scotland Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and
grandniece of Bruce, defended in the absence of her husband, in January,
1337-8, the castle of Dunbar against the English, under the Earl of
Salisbury, during a fierce and determined siege of nineteen weeks, and at
length forced the Earl to abandon the attempt. This gallant resistance of
the Countess of Dunbar is memorable in Scottish annals, and has given
subject to many a minstrel's song. `Black Agnes' became eventually heiress
of her brother, John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray, and her husband added the
Earldom of Moray to his other dignities."

Patrick "swore fealty to Edward I of England, and was a steadfast adherent
of the English interest, but his wife, Marjory Comyn, dau. of Alexander
Comyn, Earl of Buchan, sided with the opposite party, and held the castle
of Dunbar for Baliol, until forced to surrender it to Edward in 1296. In
1298, the Earl of March was appointed the King's Lieutenant in Scotland,
and in 1300 was at the siege of Carlaverock. By Marjory, his wife, he had
issue, Patrick, his heir; and George, ancestor of the family of Dunbar, of
Mochrum, the direct line of which ended in the three daus. and co-heirs of
Patrick Dunbar, of Mochrum, who all married Dunbars. Their uncle, the
heir-male, was Cuthbert Dunbar, of Blantyre." - Burke's
