- The account re: Elizabeth Douglas, sister of Sir James
Douglas of Ralston, discusses her part in defending King James
I during his assassination at Perth in Feb 1436/7. It also states,
' She afterwards married Richard Lovel of Ballumby, with whom,
on 24 August 1438, she had a charter from Alexander Lindsay,
second Earl of Crawford, of the lands of Muirhouse, co. Inverness.
In this charter she is styled neptis of the Earl, which shows that
the commonly accepted marriage of her father to a daughter of Sir
David Lindsay, first Earl of Crawford, is correct. '
[SP VI:366[1], cites Reg. Mag. Sig., 29 October 1463]
Note: It is generally accepted that it was Catherine Douglas, later known as Kate Barlass, who placed her arm through a door lock to prevent the assasins from entering the romm where the king was.
