Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus (d.1513/4), but again it is unclear
whether she actually married him; she became mistress of King James IV, by whom
she was mother of James Stewart, Earl of Moray, and probably other children; in
1505 she is called wife of Sir John Ramsay (k.a.Flodden
9 Sep 1513), who had been Lord Bothwell ca 1485 until 1488; if she married
Ramsay they separated soon after, because he married another wife before he
