    Notes:

    The Douglas family was far from favoured by King James V of Scotland ; J a n et's brother, Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, was the King' s st ep fa ther, and Angus had imprisoned the young James. James's hatre d fo r Ang u s extended to his whole family, including Janet. After Jame s ha d broke n f ree of the Douglas family, in December 1528 Janet was su mmone d for tr easo n. She was accused with others for bringing supporter s of t he Earl o f Ang us to Edinburgh in June. However, James called he r "our l ovittis Da me Jon at Douglas" in a licence of 1529 allowing he r and a co- accused Pat rick Ch arteris of Cuthilgurdy to go on pilgrimag e and be exe mpt from leg al proce edings.

    A recent historian, Jamie Cameron, thinks it unlikely that Janet w e n t o n pilgrimage, as she was the subject of a number of legal action s c ul mina ting in a charge of poisoning her husband John Lyon, 6th Lor d Gla mi s wh o had died on 17 September 1528. This case was dropped an d Jane t wa s fre e to marry her second husband, Archibald Campbell of Sk ipnes s by th e summ er of 1532. However on 17 July 1537 Janet was convic ted o f plannin g to po ison the King and communicating with her brothers , th e Earl of An gus an d George Douglas.

    James had Janet accused of witchcraft against him, although it was c l e a r that the accusations were false. She was imprisoned with her husb a n d (w ho escaped but was later killed) in a dungeon of Edinburgh Castl e . I t wa s easy for James to imprison Janet, but actually convicting h e r wa s mor e difficult. To gain "evidence", James had Janet's family me mb ers a nd ser vants subjected to torture. Janet was convicted and burne d a t th e stake o n 17 July 1537 on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, w hic h he r young so n was forced to watch
