proscribed Angus and all the Douglases, forbidding them to come within seven miles of his person.  Angus, having fortified himself in Tantallon, was attainted and his lands confiscated.  Repeated attempts of James to subdue the fortress failed, and on one occasion Angus captured the royal artillery, but at length it was given up as a condition of the truce between England and Scotland, and in May 1529 Angus took refuge with Henry, obtained a pension and took an oath of allegiance, Henry engaging to make his restoration a condition of peace.  Angus had been chiefly guided in his intrigues with England by his brother, Sir George Douglas of Pittendriech (d. 1552), master of Angus, a far cleverer diplomatist than himself.  His life and lands were also declared forfeit, as were those of his uncle, Archibald Douglas of Kilspindie (d. 1535), who had been a friend of James and was known by the nickname of “Greysteel.”  These took refuge in exile.  James avenged himself on such Douglases as lay within his power.  Angus’s third sister Janet, Lady Glamis, was summoned to answer the charge of communicating with her brothers, and on her failure to appear her estates were forfeited.  In 1537 she was tried for conspiring against the king’s life.  She was found guilty and burnt on the Castle Hill, Edinburgh, on the 17th of July 1537.  Her innocence has been generally assumed, but Tytler (Hist, of Scotland, iv. pp. 433, 434) considered her guilty.  Angus remained in England till 1542, joining in the attacks upon his countrymen on the border, while James refused all demands from Henry VIII. for his restoration, and kept firm to his policy of suppressing and extirpating the Douglas faction.  On James V.’s death in 1542 Angus returned to Scotland, with instructions from Henry to accomplish the marriage between Mary and Edward.  His forfeiture was rescinded, his estates restored, and he was made a privy councillor and lieutenant-general.  In 1543 he negotiated the treaty of peace and marriage, and the same year he himself married Margaret, daughter of Robert, Lord Maxwell.  Shortly afterwards strife between Angus and the regent Arran broke out, and in April 1544 Angus was taken prisoner.  The same year Lord Hertford’s marauding expedition, which did not spare the lands of Angus, made him join the anti-English party.  He entered into a bond with Arran and others to maintain their allegiance to Mary, and gave his support to the mission sent to France to offer the latter’s hand.  In July 1544 he was appointed lieutenant of the south of Scotland, and distinguished himself on the 27th of February 1545 in the victory over the English at Ancrum Moor.  He still corresponded with Henry VIII., but nevertheless signed in 1546 the act cancelling the marriage and peace treaty, and on the 10th of September commanded the van in the great defeat of Pinkie, when he again won fame.  In 1548 the attempt by Lennox and Wharton to capture him and punish him for his duplicity failed, Angus
