    Notes:

    The Complete Peerage by G E Cokayne shows Elizabeth Stewart of Atholl whomarried John (12th Earl Lennox) Stewart & Ninian (of Halkhead) 3rd LordRoss to be the daughter of Eleanor Sinclair & John (1st Earl of Atholl)Stewart. Whereas the mother of Elizabeth Stewart, who married Andrew 2ndLord Gray, is shown as Margaret (Fair Maid of Galloway) Douglas.

    It seems a bit uncreative to name daughters of different wives by thesame name, but apparently it is possible (if that source is correct).

    However Stirnet Genealogy (athttp://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/ss4tz/stewart04.htm ) showsAnne Stewart as husband of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Lennox (he died in09.1526 so is probably the same person as the 12th Earl). But they havenothing on Ninian (of Halkhead) 3rd Lord Ross. So maybe that Elizabeth isAnne, who knows?

    A 'Red Douglas', grandson of Archibald Douglas, the 5th Earl of Angus (1449 - 1513). He married Margaret Tudor, widow of King James IV, who died with Douglas' father at Flodden, and was grandfather of Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley (1545 - 1567) who was a husband of Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 - 1587). He was virtual ruler of Scotland between 1525 and 1528, while he held the young King James V prisoner. When the king escaped, Douglas had to flee to England, where he remained until Mary came to the throne (1543). He was turned against his English allies, and led Scottish armies in the Battles of Ancrum Moor (1545) and Pinkie (1547).
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Married Margaret of Hepburn 1509, who died 1513, and then in 1514 he married Margaret, Dowager queen, widow of James IV, daughter of Henry VII, and sister of Henry VIII. To them was born Margaret who married the Earl of Lennox and was Mother of Lord Darnley, who, marrying Mary, Queen of Scots, became the father of James VI of Scotland, who was James I of England. Thus, the Sixth Earl of Angus was a grandfather of James 1st of England.
    The Earl of Albany was appointed Regent to the young King James V and Angus and Lord Home became guardians to the young King. Nevertheless, Angus took full control and for some time ruled Scotland. On James escaping, the Regent Albany 'later banished Angus.
    In 1525, Albany left Scotland, having raised too much antagonism, and the Countess of Angus, (the young King's mother), and the Earl of Arron for Some time ruled the Kingdom. Angus now returned and got possession of the King again, and the supreme power of Scotland, which he held for about two years. At length the King escaped, and Angus was again banished, and only returned on the death of the King in 1542, when he was restored to all his rights and privileges.
    He was made Lieutenant General of Scotland and Warden of the Marches in 1542. On August 31, 1547, he resigned the Earldom of Angus in favor of his nephew David, son of Douglas of Pittendriech. Then, retiring to his Castle of Tantalion, he died in 1557, having outlived all of his sons.
    In the year 1545 Henry VIII took occasion to punish the border clans for their incursions into England, sending an army through Galloway and the adjoining Countries, burning and laying waste the country. This was repeated a second time, and then Angus, gathering together a large body of men, the Douglas's, E11iots, Kerrs and Armstrongs, waylaid the English on their retirement at Ancrum Moor and after a very strategic movement overpowered them, taking one thousand prisoners and killing the balance (about four thousand men.)
    Henry VIII took a strong exception to the action of his brother-in-law, and stated what he would do to him. The Angus reply was worthy of a'Douglas;
    "Is our brother-in -law offended, that I, as a good Scotsman have avenged my ravaged country and the defaced tombs of my ancestors upon Ralph Evers? They were better men that he and I was bound to do no less, and will he take my life for that. Little knows King Henry the skirts of Kinnetable (a mountainous tract in Douglasdale] I can keep myself there against all his host."--Godscroft,

    Archibald married Margaret Tudor on 6 Aug 1514 in Divorced 11 March 1527. Margaret (daughter of Henry VII Tudor King of England and Elizabeth of York Plantagenet) was born on 28 Nov 1489; died on 18 Oct 1541 in Methven Castle. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
