Notes |
- 1st Earl of Morton, 3rd Earl of Angus ???
was honored by King James II on March 14, 1457 with the title of Earl of Morton. He established Aberdour Nunnery in 1486.
Son and heir of James Douglas, who was deemed by some to have been second Lord Dalkeith, though it is doubtful whether any such Barony was created. On 8 September 1456 his father resigned his lands to him and, on 14 March 1458 in anticipation of his marriage to the king's daughter, he was created Earl of Morton. The marriage to the deaf and dumb Princess Joan took place before 15 May 1459.
As a protest against this creation, it was asserted that the lands of Morton belonged heritably to his step-grandmother, Janet Borthwick, widow of Sir James Douglas, held by some to have been 1st Baron Dalkeith, and to her son William Douglas, to which the Chancellor answered that 'Lord Dalkeith was not to receive his title in the Earldom for the lands of Morton lying in the Lordship of Niddisdale but for the lands of Mortoun in the territory of Caldercleir'.
He was present in Parliament from 13 January 1464 to 1491. On 14 June 1491 he was given a safe conduct as one of the Scottish ambassadors to France and Castile.
