Less detail
Generation: 1

  1. 1.  John Douglas was born before 1471 (son of Sir George (4th Earl of Angus) Douglas and Isabel Sibbald); and died.

    Notes:

    Living May 1471


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Sir George (4th Earl of Angus) Douglas (son of William (2nd Earl of Angus) Douglas and Margaret (of Locherwort & Yester) Hay); died on 12 May 1463.

    Notes:

    Brother of second Earl and Uncle of third Earl. Married.Took part with the King of Scotland against the ninth Earl of Douglas in 1454, and was rewarded with a grant of Douglasdale.
    So the Angus branch, as we see, came back into a large part of the inheritance which should have gone to the 1st Earl of Angus as the direct descendant of the 1st Earl of Douglas, rather that to Archibald the Grim, the natural son of Sir James the Good. If this contention is correct, the Angus line is the direct Black Douglas line, as Sir William Fraser suggests.
    At this time, the Angus line got the name of the Red Douglas from the complexion of the Earl. A splinter of the bursting cannon, which killed James II, wounded him.

    Some sources have a son, Andrew Douglas of Bonjedward. This, however, must be an error.

    Philip Nisbet of that ilk married (1) in November 1524, Mariota Hoppringill, daughter of the deceased William Hoppringill of Torwoodlie; and (2) Isobel, daughter of David Home of Wedderburn and his wife Alison Douglas, sister of Archibald (Bell-the-cat), fifth earl of Angus. The second alliance no doubt explains the assistance given by the Nisbets to the Douglases in the struggles of the latter with king James V. I cannot trace this Alison.
