Edward de Balliol (died 1364), eldest son of John; from 1332 to 1356 he was a pretender to the Scottish throne with the support of England, in opposition to
David II of Scotland.
The last two on the list both had English support for their claims but both were deposed. Edward died without issue, but the Balliol descent continued through his cousin Christine de Lindsay (granddaughter of John I), who married
Enguerrand V, Lord of Coucy, to the lords of
Coucy and ultimately the
Bourbon kings of France and Spain.
