In November of 1440 the 6th Earl and his brother, David, were guests of the King in Edinburgh Castle. After dining with the King both Douglases were seized by Crichton and his allies, hastily tried for treason and immediately executed. It is
said that as the last course of the meal Crichton set a black bull's head in front of the doomed brothers as a symbol of their impending death. For this reason the event earned the name of the "Black Bull's Dinner" | Douglas, David (I694)

It was not uncommon for a highland chief to provide for his younger sons by ceding lands to them at the outermost limits of his sphere of influence. In this manner the chief could insure his own security and provide a heritable property for hs son.
This no doubt was the strategy of the Laird of Freuchie in the late 15th century, when he is said to have provided his grandson, William Grant, with the lands of Blairfindy in the wilds of Glenlivet. Although not far removed, as the crow flies, from the friendly environs of the chief's stronghold in Strathspey, Glenlivet would have been a desolate, remote setting for young William to establish his ?i?duchas ?/i?(heritable property). Even today, Glenlivet is considered "off the beaten path."
William Grant - obviously a person of some import - was noted in a Royal Remission dated February 13, 1527. He may have also been the same William Grant who witnessed a charter in 1534. | Grant, William 1st of Blairfindy (I31138)

1 - In 1463 the lands of Kintail were held by Alexander Mackenzie, " when the Mackenzies obtained the first authentic charter on record as direct vassals from the Crown."
During the whole of the previous two hundred years - there is no trace of Colin Fitzgerald or any of his descendants as superiors of the lands of Kintail in terms of Alexander III.'s reputed charter of 1266, the Mackenzies holding all that time from and as direct vassals of their relatives, the Earls of Ross, who really held the position of Crown vassals which, according to the upholders of the Fitzgerald theory, had that theory been true, would have been held by Colin and his posterity. But neither he nor any of his reputed descendants appear once on record in that capacity during the whole of these two centuries. On the contrary, it has now been proved from unquestionable authentic sources that Kintail was in possession of the Earls of Ross in, and for at least two generations before, 1296; that King Robert the Bruce confirmed him in these lands in 1306, and again in 1329; that in 1342 Earl William granted the ten davochs or pennylands of Kintail - which is its whole extent - to Reginald of the Isles; that this grant was afterwards confirmed by David II.; and that between the years 1362 and 1372 the Earl of Ross exchanged the lands of Kintail, including the Castle of Ellandonnan, with his brother Hugh for lands in Buchan.
Although the Earls of Ross were superiors of the lands of Kintail, the Mackenzies occupied the lands and the castle, not as immediate vassals; of the King, but of their own near relatives, the O'Beolan Earls of Ross and their successors, for at least two hundred years before the Mackenzies received a grant of it for themselves direct from the Crown. This is proved beyond dispute by genuine historical
documents. Until within a few years of the final forfeiture of the Lords of the Isles in 1476, the Mackenzies undoubtedly held their lands, first from the O'Beolan Earls and subsequently from the Island Lords as Earls of Ross; for the first direct Crown
charter to any chief of Kintail of which we have authentic record, is one dated the 7th of January, 1463, in favour of Alexander "Ionraic," the sixth Baron.

1 - (1614 - ) The son of Hugh Mackay, Donald, was raised to a baronetcy in the year 1627. He applied for and was granted a warrant to raise troop to fight for the Protestant cause in the Thirty Years' War, and led 3000 men, mostly Mackay clansmen. Fighting under the command of the King of Denmark in Holstein, they won for themselves the name "the Invincible Scots." In February, 1628, King Charles I became a peer, as Lord Reay. The title itself is a mark of the the superior manipulation of the Crown by Sutherland, in contrast to the simple loyalty of Mackay. As the Book of Mackay observes: "His proper and natural title was Lord Strathnaver, but the Sutherland family picked that up in 1588, when they secured the superiority of Strathnaver from the king."
After the Denmark phase of the war, Lord Reay's regiment became a favourite corps of King Gustavus II Adolphus of Sweden, during the fighting in Germany. Exemplary among the exploits of the Mackay clansmen was the defence of the Pass of Oldenburg. The Rev. Angus Mackay describes the action thus:
Their next great exploit was at the Pass of Oldenburg, which Sir Donald was instructed to hold at all hazard, in order to enable the Duke of Wiemar to embark his troops at Heiligenhafn. From daybreak to sunset of a late October day, Mackay held the pass with his men against an overwhelming host under Tilly. Torn and stung by shot and ball, they clung to the position with a heroic tenacity which defied the indomitable Tilly. As may be imagined their losses were very heavy. Sir Donald himself was severely wounded by the explosion of a barrel of gunpowder, but he grimly stuck to his post; while Sir Patrick McKie of Largs and other officers had to be carried off the field. When the regiment went into winter quarters shortly after this, of the 3600 men who had embarked at Cromarty, only a twelvemonth before, but 800 whole and about 150 maimed survived. In other words, in a four months' campaign they lost three-fourths of their number. Truly the glory of war is bought at a great price!
Donald, 1st Lord Reay, remained loyal to Charles I, opposing the Covenanters, and was a leader in the defence of Newcastle during the siege of 1644:
The defence of Newcastle was the most brilliant military exploit of the Royalists during the Civil war, for the dashing victories of Montrose were but rapid tumultuous Highland charges; and the credit of it may justly be claimed for Lord Reay, whose military experience on the Continent made him the most capable general within its walls.
Donald Mackay died in February, 1649, in Denmark, and his body was returned to Strathnaver to be buried.

2 - Sir Donald Mackay was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia on 28 March 1627. A year later he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Reay. Lord Reay was a distinguished soldier who fought for Charles I in the civil war. He was to have been created Earl of Strahnvaer, but the royal patent was not completed. He went into exile in Denmark, where he died in February 1649.

3 - Donald Mackay, 1st Lord Reay (March 1591 ? February 1649), known as Sir Donald Mackay, 1st Baronet, from 1627 to 1628, was a Scottish peer and soldier.
Mackay was the eldest son of Huistean Du Mackay. He was created a Baronet, of Strathnaver, in 1627 and the following year he was raised to the Peerage of Scotland as Lord Reay, of Reay in the County of Caithness. In 1626 he raised a regiment under a charter from King Charles I, with which he served with distinction in Denmark under Christian IV. He was not present with the regiment when they fought at the Siege of Stralsund in 1628, command devolving to his lieutenant colonel, Alexander Seaton. then under Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years' War. He later fought as a Royalist in the Civil War.
Lord Reay was married four times. He married, firstly, Barbara Mackenzie, sister of Colin Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Seaforth, in 1610. He married, secondly, Rachel Winterfield or Harrison, sometime before 1631. This marriage was annulled. He married, thirdly, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Thomson, and fourthly, Marjorie, daughter of Francis Sinclair. Lord Reay died in February 1649, aged 57, and was succeeded in his titles by his son John.

1 - 11th Earl of Lennox 1513-1526
John, twelfth Earl of Lennox and third Lord Darnley,P.C.,who was born circa 1496 and was killed after being captured at the battle of Manuel [Manuel, near Linlithgow Palace ]by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart on 4 September 1526. He was a Privy Councilor, Lord Warden of the East March, and as a Lord of Regency he was a guardian of King James V. The earl married (contract 19 January 1511) his cousin Lady Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of John, Earl of Atholl (she married, secondly before March 1529/30, the twelfth earl's brother-in-law, Ninian, third Lord Ross of Halkhead).
2 - John, Earl of Lennox, in the Darnley line, gave a grant of the lands of Inchinnan in Renfrewshire, "delecto consanguineo suo Gulielmo Stirling de Glorat et Margaretae Houstoun sposae suae," in 1525, which is the first trace to be found of the family; but very probably Glorat was acquired by the Stirlings about 1470, after the death of Isabella, Countess of Lennox eldest daughter of the 8th Earl.

3 - John became one of the guardians of James V. and was murdered in 1526.

4 - In 1526 the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge was fought; it was one of those faction fights between two contending armies for predominance which were so prevalent in Scotland at the time, the real object, however, being to rescue King James V frm the domination of the Earl of Angus. The opposing fronts under Angus and Lennox extended on both sides of the Avon. The Earl of Lennox was slain by Sir James Hamilton after quarter had been granted to the former. His sword was afterwards found, and may still be seen in the small museum at Linlithgow.

4 - In 1526 the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge was fought; it was one of those faction fights between two contending armies for predominance which were so prevalent in Scotland at the time, the real object, however, being to rescue King James V frm the domination of the Earl of Angus. The opposing fronts under Angus and Lennox extended on both sides of the Avon. The Earl of Lennox was slain by Sir James Hamilton after quarter had been granted to the former. His sword was afterwards found, and may still be seen in the small museum at Linlithgow.

1 - 1580, Apr
John Innes, of that Ilk, being childless, entered, in March 1577, into a mutual bond of tailyie with his nearest relation, Alexander Tunes, of Cromy, conveying to him his whole estate, failing heirs-male of his body, and taking the like disposition from Cromy of his estate. There was a richer branch of the family represented by Robert Innes, of Innermarky, who pined to see the poorer preferred in this manner. So loud were his expressions of displeasure, that 'Cromy, who was the gallantest man of his name, found himself obliged to make the proffer of meeting him single in arms, and, laying the tailyie upon the grass, see if he durst take it up? in one word, to pass from all other pretensions, and let the best fellow have it.'
This silenced Innermarky, but did not extinguish his discontent. He began to work upon the feelings of the Laird of Innes, representing how Cromy already took all upon himself, even the name of Laird, leaving him no better than a masterless dog? as contemptible, indeed, as a beggar? a condition from which there could be no relief but by putting the usurper out of the way. This he himself offered to do with his own hand, if the laird would concur with him: it was an unpleasant business, but he would undertake it, rather than see his chief made a slave. By these practices, the weak bird was brought to give his consent to the slaughter of an innocent gentleman, his nearest relation, and whom he had not long before regarded with so much good-will as to admit him to a participation of his whole fortune.
'There wanted nothing but a conveniency for putting their purpose in execution, which did offer itself in the month of April 1580. At which time Alexander, being called upon some business to Aberdeen, was obliged to stay longer there than he intended, by reason that his only son Robert, a youth of sixteen years of age, had fallen sick at the college, and his father could not leave the place till he saw what became of him. He had transported him out of the Old Town, and had brought him to his own lodgings in the New Town. He had also sent several of his servants home from time to time, to let his lady know the reason of his stay.
'By means of these servants, it came to be known perfectly at Kinnairdy in what circumstances Alexander was at Aberdeen, where he was lodged, and how he was attended, which invited Tunermarky to take the occasion. Wherefore, getting a considerable number of assistants with him, he and Laird John ride to Aberdeen; they enter the town upon the night, and about midnight came to Alexander's lodging.
'The outer gate of the close they found open, but all the rest of the doors shut. They were afraid to break up the doors by violence, lest the noise might alarm the neighbourhood; but choiced rather to raise such a cry in the close as might oblige those who were within to open the doors and see what it might be.
'The feuds at that time betwixt the families of Gordon and Forbes were not extinguished; therefore they raised a cry as if it had been upon some outfall among these people, crying, "Help a Gordon? a Gordon!" which is the gathering-word of the friends of that family. Alexander, being deeply interested in the Gordons, at the noise of the cry started from his bed, took his sword in hand, and opening a back-door that led to the court below, stepped down three or four steps, and cried to know what was the matter. Innermarky, who by his word knew him, and by his white shirt discerned him perfectly, cocks his gun, and shoots him through the body. In an instant, as many as could get about him fell upon him, and butchered him barbarously.
'Innermarky, perceiving, in the meantime, that Laird John stood by, as either relenting or terrified, held the bloody dagger to his throat, that he had newly taken out of the murdered body, swearing dreadfully that he would serve him in the same way if he did not as he did, and so compelled him to draw his dagger, and stab it up to the hilt in the body of his nearest relation, and the bravest that bore his name. After his example, all that were there behoved to do the like, that all might be alike guilty. Yea, in prosecution of this, it has been told me, that Mr John Innes, afterwards of Coxton, being a youth then at school, was raised out of bed, and compelled by Innermarky to stab a dagger into the dead body, that the more might be under the same condemnation? a very crafty cruelty.
'The next thing looked after was the destruction of the sick youth Robert, who had lain that night in a bed by his father, but, upon the noise of what was done, had scrambled from it, and by the help of one John of Coloreasons, or rather of some of the people of the house, had got out at an unfrequented back-door into the garden, and from that into a neighbour's house, where he had shelter, the Lord in his providence preserving him for the executing of vengeance upon these murderers for the blood of his father.
'Then Innermarky took the dead man's signet-ring, and sent it to his wife, as from her husband, by a servant whom he had purchased to that purpose, ordering her to send him such a particular box, which contained the bond of tailyie and all that had followed thereupon betwixt him and Laird John, whom, the servant said, he had left with his master at Aberdeen, and that, for dispatch, he had sent his best horse with him, and had not taken leisure to write, but sent the ring.
'Though it troubled the woman much to receive so blind a message, yet her husband's ring, his own servant, and his horse, prevailed so with her, together with the man's importunity to be gone, that she delivered to him what he sought, and let him go.
'There happened to be then about the house a youth related to the family, who was curious to go the length of Aberdeen, and see the young laird who had been sick, and to whom he was much addicted. This youth had gone to the stable, to intercede with the servant that he might carry him behind him; and in his discourse had found the man under great restraint and confusion of mind, sometimes saying he was to go no further than Kinnairdy (which indeed was the truth), and at other times that he behoved to be immediately at Aberdeen. This brought him to jalouse [suspect], though he knew not what; but further knowledge he behoved to have, and therefore he stepped out a little beyond the entry, watching the servant's coming, and in the by-going suddenly leaped on behind him, or have a satisfying reason why he refused him. The contest became such betwixt them, that the servant drew his dirk to rid him of the youth's trouble, which the other wrung out of his bands, and downright killed him with it, and brought back the box, with the writs and horse, to the house of Innes (or Cromy, I know not which).
'As the lady is in a confusion for what had fallen out, there comes another of the servants from Aberdeen, who gave an account of the slaughter, so that she behoved to conclude a special hand of Providence to have been in the first passage. Her next course was to secure her husband's writs the best she could, and fly to her friends for shelter, by whose means she was brought with all speed to the king, before whom she made her complaint.'
The son of the murdered man was taken under the care of the Earl of Huntly, who was his relation; but so little apprehension was there of a prosecution for the murder, that Innermarky, five weeks after the event, obtained from his chief a disposition of the estate in his own favour. Two or three years after, however, the young Laird of Cromy came north with a commission for the avenging of his father's murder, and the Laird of Innes and Innermarky were both obliged to go into hiding. For a time, the latter skulked in the hills, but, wearying of that, he got a retreat constructed for himself in the house of Edinglassie, where he afterwards found shelter. Here young Cromy surprised him in September 1584. The same young man who had killed his servant was the first to enter his Patmos, for which venturesome act he was all his life after called Craig-in-peril. Innermarky's head was cut off, and, it is said, afterwards taken by Cromy's widow to Edinburgh, and cast at the king's feet. The Innermarky branch being thus set aside, young Cromy succeeded in due time as Laird of Innes.? Hist. Acc. Fam. Innes.
2 - Robert Innes was born before 1588. He was the son of Alexander Innes (of Crombie) and Beatrix Dunbar.

1 - 1593 - Amongst the complications of the affair between Huntly and Moray in February 1592, there were mingled the details of a plot in which Huntly and the Chancellor Maitland were connected with three chieftains of the clan Campbell? Ardkinlas, Lochnell, and Glenurchy? against the life of John Campbell of Calder, who was obnoxious to the latter persons on account of his supreme influence in the affairs of the minor Earl of Argyle. By the exertions of Ardkinlas, a man called MacEllar was procured to undertake the assassination of Calder: and in the same month which saw the tragedy at Dunnibrissle, this wretched man shot Calder with three bullets, through a window, as the victim sat unsuspecting of danger in the house of Knepoch in Lorn.
The youthful earl having threatened vengeance against Ardkinlas, the latter seems to have lost heart; and being extremely desirous of recovering his young chief's regard, he subsequently tried to accomplish his purpose by revealing what he knew of another plot in which the same parties were concerned against the earl's life. It may be sufficient to remark that MacEllar and a higher agent in the a person of John Oig Campbell of Cabrachan, a brother of Lochnell, were taken and executed for Calder's death; but owing to various causes, among which the complicity and friendship of Maitland was probably the chief, Ardkinlas continued for a considerable time to keep out of the grasp of the law.
It was not till September 1596 that Ardkinlas underwent a trial for the slaughter of the Laird of Calder. The matter having doubtless been arranged beforehand, no pursuers appeared, and he was set at liberty.
2 - II. Archibald is said to have had four wives, at or about the same time. 1st. Janet, daughter to Duncan na-mein Macdougall of Dunollie, chief of the Macdougalls; by her he had
1st. Alexander, his heir, and
2nd. Cailen-na-kille of Kilekolmkill, in Benderloch, who was married to a daughter of Stirling of Keir, relict of Buchanan of Leni, extinct.
The second was a daughter of MacLean of Duart.
Jessie, the third, was daughter to Chuin O'Donell, Ireland. She was mother to Ian Connelach, married to Loup's daughter; of them are the Campbells of Corrieleigh.
The fourth was Isabella, daughter to Drummond of Cochyle, and relict of William Redoch
of Aberledmont; by her he had James of Croguan, married to a daughter of the Bishop of Ardchattan, second son to Campbell the first Laird of Calder; of him are the families of Stonefield and Balerno.
Isabella was the only one of Archibald's wives who survived him. She afterwards married the chief of the Macdougalls, Laird of Dunollie.
By his different wives he had several daughters. Margaret, married to M'Lean of Lochbuy; Ann to Campbell of Dunstaffnage; Janet to Campbell of Barbrec, and the fourth to Stewart of Appin.
Archibald, with his two brothers, Donald and Colin, were killed at Glenlivet, and interred in the tomb of Farquharson, Uschriachan, Aberdeenshire, 1594.

1 - 1597 A deputation of ministers went this summer through the provinces of Aberdeen, Moray, and Ross, to complete as far as possible the planting of them with ministers. The chief of the Clan Mackintosh surprised the deputation by the zeal and cordiality he shewed towards the object. He met them at Inverness, exhibited a plan for settling ministers in his country, and subscribed it in their presence. ?Now,? said he, ?it may be thought I am liberal because nae minister will venture to come amang us. Get me men and sey [try] me. I will find sufficient caution in St Johnston, Dundee, or Aberdeen, for safety of their persons, obedience to their doctrine and discipline, and guid payment of their stipend.??Ja. Mel. We have seen enough of the leading men of this age in Scotland not to be too much surprised on learning that this was the same Highland chief who had sent out his clan on a wild ravaging expedition in 1592, when the hospitable old baron of Brackla was one of their victims, and who is summed up in the Historie of King James the Sext, as ?a man unconstant, false, and double-minded, by the report of all men.?
2 - Lachlan Mackintosh,
being only an infant when his father, William Mackintosh of that
ilk, was murdered in 1550, was carried for safety by some of his
humble retainers to the county of Ross. This came to the knowledge
of Colin, younger of Kintail, who took possession of the young
heir of Mackintosh, and carried him to Ellandonnan Castle. The
old chief retained him, and treated him with great care until
the years of pupilarity had expired, and then married him to his
daughter Agnes, by no means an unsuitable match for either, apart
from the time and manner in which it was consummated

He accompanied Monck to London in 1660 and was received at the court of the restored Charles II. He was knighted in 1681. A supporter of James II, he took part in the Jacobite victory over the forces of William III at Killiecrankie in 1689 and sent his clan to aid the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. Lochiel was a romantic warrior of great strength.
2 - He was known as the Great Lochiel. He fought with Montrose and later with Claverhouse. He was a striking man about whom a comtemporary wrote "His very look so fierce might fright the boldest foe".
3 - Old grudges amongst neighbouring clans still occasionally worked themselves out in regular military invasions accompanied by extensive depredations. There was an old feud between the Clan Cameron in Lochaber, and Struan Robertson in the upper part of Perthshire; and on the 14th of August 1666, the renowned chief, Ewen or Evan Cameron, came with above eighty followers, including several good duniwassals, (men near akin to the chief), to Struan?s lands of Kinloch? quartered there for a night upon the tenants, beat and threatened them, broke into and searched houses, all for the purpose of laying hold of their enemy, who, however, was out of the way. Disappointed of their primary object, the Camerons took twenty-six head of cattle, and made off with them to their own country. The misdeed being fully proven in November against Ewen Cameron Locheil, Sorlie Cameron, John Oig Cameron, and John and Duncan M?Ewen Camerons, the lords of the Privy Council ordained the first (who did not appear) to pay Struan a fine of a thousand merks, and the others, who had been confined for some time in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh, to restore to Struan the twenty-six stolen cattle. | Cameron, Sir Ewen 5th of Locheil, 17th Chief (I5328)

1 - 1st Earl of Strathearn-Menteith Created 1st Graham Earl of Menteith 1427
The later earldom, which was created by James the First in the fifteenth century in favour of Malise Graham, formerly Earl of Strathern, did not include all the lands of the original earldom which had been forfeited by Murdach Duke of Albany as Earl of Menteith; on the contrary, the charter of creation of the new territorial earldom of Menteith reserved to the king the other portions of it.
Among the places thus reserved was the Castle of Doune, which was the principal messuage of the ancient earldom at the time of the forfeiture.
Malise inherited the title of Earl of Strathearn/Strathern from his mother but King James I conferred that title upon his uncle Walter and replaced Mailse's earldom with that of Menteith (often spelled "Monteith"). Malise's first wife is named as Ann Vere by Burkes Extinct Peerages 1883 (Graham of Strathern , etc) but as Jane de Rochford by The Scots Peerage (Menteith). Burkes Extinct 1883 identifies Alexander, John and Walter as being by Ann Vere. We show that Euphame was by her as well but that is an assumption. We show the second John and Walter as by his second wife following an indication to that effect by The Scots Peerage.
2 - Malise Graham, had the earldom of Stratherne removed from him by King James I and given to his uncle, Robert Graham, on the grounds that his mother should not have inherited a title whose descent was strictly through the male line, but received the earldom of Menteith instead.

It was he whom King James I. deprived of the earldom, on the plea that it was a male fief, and made Earl of Menteith instead; and it was this action which moved the Earl's uncle, Sir Robert Graham, to renounce his allegiance, and to plot and carry out the assassination of the King at Perth. It should be remembered, however, that in this plot Earl Malise himself seems to have had no share. He lived till 1492, and left three sons, from the eldest of whom descended the Earls of Menteith and Airth,

1 - 2nd daughter Janet Douglas, married to John, 8th Lord Glammis, ancestor of the earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, duke of Hamilton, earl of Cassilis, earl of Morton, Lord Spynie, &c.
("Genealogical memoir of the most noble and ancient house of Drummond" by David Malcolm pub. 1808)
2 - Falsly accused witch. She was the grand-daughter of Archibald Douglas the 5th Earl of Angus, a relationship which caused her terrible demise at the hands of King James V.
In his purge of the Douglases, Janet was accused of being a witch, arrested with her new second husband (Archibald Campbell of Skipnish) and imprisoned in a dark dungeon in Edinburgh Castle. He was killed while trying to escape, while she was burned at the stake on Castlehill in Edinburgh.
3 - Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis (c.1498 '96 17 July 1537) was a Scottish noblewoman accused of witchcraft, who was burned to death during the reign of James V of Scotland.
The Douglas family was far from favoured by King James V of Scotland; Janet's brother, Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, was the King's stepfather, and Angus had imprisoned the young James. James's hatred for Angus extended to his whole family, including Janet. After James had broken free of the Douglas family, in December 1528 Janet was summoned for treason. She was accused with others for bringing supporters of the Earl of Angus to Edinburgh in June. However, James called her "our lovittis Dame Jonat Douglas" in a licence of 1529 allowing her and a co-accused Patrick Charteris of Cuthilgurdy to go on pilgrimage and be exempt from legal proceedings.
A recent historian, Jamie Cameron, thinks it unlikely that Janet went on pilgrimage, as she was the subject of a number of legal actions culminating in a charge of poisoning her husband John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis who had died on 17 September 1528. This case was dropped and Janet was free to marry her second husband, Archibald Campbell of Skipness by the summer of 1532. However, on 17 July 1537 Janet was convicted of planning to poison the King and communicating with her brothers, the Earl of Angus and George Douglas.
James had Janet accused of witchcraft against him, although it was clear that the accusations were false. She was imprisoned with her husband (who escaped but was later killed) in a dungeon of Edinburgh Castle. It was easy for James to imprison Janet, but actually convicting her was more difficult. To gain "evidence", James had Janet's family members and servants subjected to torture. Janet was convicted and burned at the stake on 17 July 1537 on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, which her young son was forced to watch.
She was the daughter of George Douglas, Master of Angus and Elizabeth Drummond, daughter of John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond. She married firstly to John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis (1492'961528) and by him had issue:
John Lyon, 7th Lord Glamis
George Lyon
Margaret Lyon
Elizabeth Lyon, married 1st: John Forbes, Master of Forbes; married 2nd: Thomas Craig of Balnely; married 3rd: John Tulloch of Montcoffer; married 4th: John Abernethy.
Janet, Lady Glamis married secondly Archibald Campbell of Skipnish, second son of Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll.

1 - 2nd daughter Janet Douglas, married to John, 8th Lord Glammis, ancestor of the earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, duke of Hamilton, earl of Cassilis, earl of Morton, Lord Spynie, &c.

2 - Falsly accused witch. She was the grand-daughter of Archibald Douglas the 5th Earl of Angus, a relationship which caused her terrible demise at the hands of King James V.
In his purge of the Douglases, Janet was accused of being a witch, arrested with her new second husband (Archibald Campbell of Skipnish) and imprisoned in a dark dungeon in Edinburgh Castle. He was killed while trying to escape, while she was burned at the stake on Castlehill in Edinburgh.
3 - Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis (c.1498 '96 17 July 1537) was a Scottish noblewoman accused of witchcraft, who was burned to death during the reign of James V of Scotland.
The Douglas family was far from favoured by King James V of Scotland; Janet's brother, Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, was the King's stepfather, and Angus had imprisoned the young James. James's hatred for Angus extended to his whole family, including Janet. After James had broken free of the Douglas family, in December 1528 Janet was summoned for treason. She was accused with others for bringing supporters of the Earl of Angus to Edinburgh in June. However, James called her "our lovittis Dame Jonat Douglas" in a licence of 1529 allowing her and a co-accused Patrick Charteris of Cuthilgurdy to go on pilgrimage and be exempt from legal proceedings.
A recent historian, Jamie Cameron, thinks it unlikely that Janet went on pilgrimage, as she was the subject of a number of legal actions culminating in a charge of poisoning her husband John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis who had died on 17 September 1528. This case was dropped and Janet was free to marry her second husband, Archibald Campbell of Skipness by the summer of 1532. However, on 17 July 1537 Janet was convicted of planning to poison the King and communicating with her brothers, the Earl of Angus and George Douglas.
James had Janet accused of witchcraft against him, although it was clear that the accusations were false. She was imprisoned with her husband (who escaped but was later killed) in a dungeon of Edinburgh Castle. It was easy for James to imprison Janet, but actually convicting her was more difficult. To gain "evidence", James had Janet's family members and servants subjected to torture. Janet was convicted and burned at the stake on 17 July 1537 on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, which her young son was forced to watch.
She was the daughter of George Douglas, Master of Angus and Elizabeth Drummond, daughter of John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond. She married firstly to John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis (1492'961528) and by him had issue:
John Lyon, 7th Lord Glamis
George Lyon
Margaret Lyon
Elizabeth Lyon, married 1st: John Forbes, Master of Forbes; married 2nd: Thomas Craig of Balnely; married 3rd: John Tulloch of Montcoffer; married 4th: John Abernethy.
Janet, Lady Glamis married secondly Archibald Campbell of Skipnish, second son of Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll.

In 1457 he was by James III. created Earl of Argyll and appointed Royal Lieutenant. In 1470 he was created baron of Lorn, and in 1481 he received a grant of much of Knapdale including the Keepership of Castle Sween or Sweyn, which had previously been held by the Lord of the Isles . Though Chancellor of Scotland, Royal Lieutenant for the West and Master of the King's Household, he readily joined Douglas, Earl of Angus, the Homes and the Hepburns in the plot that led to the slaying of King James III at Sauchieburn, near Stirling, 1488. In 1484 he kidnapped the child heir of the Lordship of the Isles, Donald Dubh after the Battle of Bloody Bay off Mull. He died in 1493. His younger son, Thomas, was the ancestor of the Campbells of Lundie, in Forfarshire. Another daughter was married to Torquil Macleod of the Lewis.

1 - 3rd Earl, son of Archibald. He was married to Lady Jane Gordon, eldest daughter of Alexander, third Earl of Huntly, they had three sons and a daughter. Their sons were, Archibald, fourth Earl of Argyll; John, ancestor of the Campbells of Lochnell, of which house the Campbells of Balerno, and Stonefield are cadets; and Alexander, dean of Moray. Colin was, immediately after his accession to the earldom, appointed by the council to assemble an army and proceed against Lauchlan Maclean of Dowart, and other Highland chieftains, who had broken out into insurrection, and proclaimed Sir Donald of Lochalsh Lord of the Isles . Owing to the powerful influence of Argyll, the insurgents submitted to the regent, after strong measures had been adopted against them. In 1517 Sir Donald of Lochalsh again appeared in arms, but being deserted by his principle leaders, he effected his escape. Soon after, on his petition also in 1517 Colin was appointed Royal Lieutenant over all the Isles and adjacent mainland by Regent Albany. For some years the Isles remained peaceful and Colin employed this interval in extending his influence among the chiefs and in promoting the sway and importance of his clan, being assisted thereto by his brothers, Sir John Calder of Calder, so designed after his marriage with the heiress, and Archibald Campbell of Skipnish. On the escape of king James V, then in his seventeenth year, from the power of the Douglass, in May 1528, Colin was one of the first to join his majesty at Stirling. He afterwards received an ample confirmation of the hereditary sheriffship of Argleshire and of the offices of justiciary of Scotland and master of the household, by which these offices became hereditary in his family. He had the commission of justice-general of Scotland renewed 25th October 1529.
