James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton
James Douglas, (1426 - 22 October 1493), the 4th Lord of Dalkeith, was created the 1st Earl of Morton in 1458.
==Life==
He was the son of James Douglas, 2nd Lord of Dalkeith and Elizabeth Gifford, daughter of James Gifford of Sheriffhall.〔''The Scots Peerage, Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland'', Vol. VI, ed. Sir James Balfour Paul (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1909), (p. 353 )〕 His father resigned all his estates to James in 1456 when James became the 4th Lord of Dalkeith.〔''The Scots Peerage, Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland'', Vol. VI, ed. Sir James Balfour Paul (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1909), p. 354〕 James was created Earl of Morton in 1458〔The name of this earldom derives from a small holding in East Calder. Originally it was named for another family holding, the Parish of Morton in Nithsdale but at the time of his belting as Earl, his step-grandmother, Janet Borthwick, who held Morton in Nithsdale objected to the name of the Earldom but it was at that time determined the name came from Morton in East Calder (Calderclere). See Scots Peerage, Vol. 6, p. 354.〕〔G(). E(). Cokayne, ''The Complete Peerage of England Scotland Ireland Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant Extinct or Dormant'', Vol. IV (London: The St. Catherine Press, 1953), p. 39〕 upon his marriage to Joan Stewart〔"According to modern usage this lady would be entitled princess, but the sons and daughters of the Kings of Scotland were seldom given that style of courtesy until after the union of the Crowns." Maxwell, ''History of Douglas'', Vol. 1 (1902), p. 239 n. 2.〕 (1428-1493), the daughter of James I, King of Scots.〔Herbert Maxwell, ''A History of the House of Douglas'', Volume I (London: Freemantle & Co., 1902), (p. 238 )〕 She was a deaf-mute.〔
The Earl entered into a marriage contract with Patrick Graham, Bishop of St. Andrews between the Bishop's niece and John Douglas, the Earl's eldest son and heir.〔 In turn the Grahams, the Bishop, his brother and nephew, allied themselves to the Earl and pledged to assist him in recovering the diverted lands of Whittingehame and Morton.〔 It appears, however, that this pledge was intended to draw the Earl of Morton into a conspiracy that included the Bishop, Lord Boyd and his party.〔 Robert Boyd, 1st Lord Boyd who, as one of the Regents during the minority of Robert III of Scotland, took possession of the young king and married his son to the king's elder sister, for which crimes he was later attainted for high treason.〔G(). E(). Cokayne, ''The Complete Peerage of England Scotland Ireland Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant Extinct or Dormant'', Vol. II (London: The St. Catherine Press, 1912), p. 260〕 The Earl of Morton apparently did not participate since he sat on the jury which convicted the Boyds.〔 Bishop Graham was later excommunicated and deposed.〔Jenny Wormald, ''Court, Kirk, and Community: Scotland, 1470-1625'', Vol. 3 (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2005), p. 77〕
The lands of Whittinghame and all rights over the barony of Morton, Dumfriesshire were resigned into the Earl's hands in 1473-4 and in that same year he recovered the lordship of Dalkeith increasing the Earls already vast estates.〔''The Scots Peerage, Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland'', Vol. VI, ed. Sir James Balfour Paul, Volume VI (Edinburgh: David Douglas. 1909). p. 355〕 He re-endowed the collegiate church at Dalkeith his 3rd great-grandfather founded and he also founded St. Martha's Hospital in Aberdour in 1474.〔 The Earl died on 22 October 1493 when his son John succeeded him as the 2nd Earl of Morton.〔 His wife Joan predeceased him by 4 months dying on 22 June 1493.〔G(). E(). Cokayne, ''The Complete Peerage; or, A history of the House of lords and all its members from the earliest times'', Vol. IX (London: The St. Catherine Press, Ltd., 1936), p. 287〕
