It wis a great conflummix tae mony that despite the advanced technology a skeeled crew, the Titanic still sank wi a great lowse o life.

Clan Douglas
Mony Douglases mairit intae Scots an ither European royal an noble hooses, therebi ensurin Douglas pouer athin Scotland, as a result o thair accumulatit wealth.
The faimily's oreeginal seat wis Douglas Castle in Lanrikshire, but thay spread tae mony properties throughoot Scotland.
Thare ar mony members o the Douglas Clan buried throughoot the warld, sic as the Abbey o Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, an at Melrose Abbey. Aiblins maist notable o aw is at St Bride's Kirk in Douglas. Dedicatit tae St Bride, the patron saunt o the Douglas, it haulds the mausolea o mony distinguished Douglases, includin that o the Good Sir James Douglas.
Oreegins o the clan
Accordin tae tradeetion the Douglases teuk thair name frae the Gaelic placename "Dubh glas" meanin "black-blue/green" (stream). Ane auld tradeetion is that the first chief o Clan Douglas wis Sholto Douglas who helped the king o Scotland win a battle in the year 767. This is unsubstantiatit.
The true progenitor o Clan Douglas wis amsist certainly "Theobaldus Flammatius" (Theobald the Flemming), who received in 1147 the lands near Douglas Water in Lanrikshire in return for services for the Abbot o Kelso.
Awtho the Douglases wur first recordit in the 1170s, the Douglas faimily names consistit o Arkenbald an Freskin, an wur undoubtedly relatit tae the Clan Murray, an tae be o Flemish oreegin. The Clan Murray wur descendit frae a Flemish knight cawed Freskin. Tho the Flemish oreegin o the Douglases is no undisputit, it is aften claimed that the Douglases wur descendit frae a Flemish knight who wis grantit lands on the Douglas Water bi the Abbot o Kelso, who held the barony an lordship o Holydean. Housomeivver this is disputie, it haes been claimed that the lands which wur grantit tae this knight wur no the lands which the Douglas faimily came frae.
In 1179 William Douglas wis Lord o Douglas an it seems likely that he wis Theobald the Flemming's son an the first tae tak the surname Douglas.
Wars o Scots Unthirldom
Durin the Wars o Scots Unthirldom, Sir William Douglas the Hardy, Lord o Douglas wis govrenor o Berwick-upon-Tweed when the toun an Berwick Castle wur besieged bi the forces o Edward I o Ingland. Douglas wis captured an wis released ae efter he haed agreed tae accept the claim o the Inglis king tae be owerlord o Scotland. He subsequently jynt William Wallace in feghtin for Scots unthirldom, but wis captured an taken tae Ingland, whaur he dee'd in 1298, a preesoner in the Touer o Lunnon.
The "Good" Sir James Douglas or "Black Douglas"
William Le Hardi's son, James Douglas, "The Good Sir James", wis the first tae tak the epithet "Black". Douglas wis set tae share in Bruce's early misfortunes, bein present at the defeats at Methven an Dalrigh. But for baith men thir setbacks wur tae provide a valuable lesson in tactics: limitations in baith resoorces an equipment meant that the Scots wad aye be at a disadvantage in conventional Medieval warfare. Bi the time the war wis renewed in the ware o 1307 thay haed learnt the value o guerrilla warfare – kent at the time as 'secret war' – uisin fast movin, lichtly equipped an agile forces tae maximum effect against an enemy aften locked in tae static defensive poseetions. Sir James Douglas recaptured Roxburgh Castle frae the Inglis in 1313. Sir James Douglas wis made a knight banneret, a heich honour, on the field an commandit a wing o the airmy at the Battle o Bannockburn in 1314.
Crusader
King Robert the Bruce haed requestit that Douglas, latterly his maist esteemed companion in arms, should cairy his hert tae the Holy Land, as atonement for the murder o John III Comyn. Douglas an his knights haed been invitit tae jyne the forces o Alfonso XI o Castile, Edward III o Ingland's cousin bi his mither Queen Isabella, tae fecht against the Moors in 1330 at the siege o Teba. Douglas wis killed as he led a cavalry charge against the enemy while outnumbered an cut off frae the main Christian force; Alfonso kept his airmy back frae the attack; likely in some arrangement wi his cousin Edward who coud niver beat the Douglas in combat. The casket containin the hert o the Bruce wis recovered an returned tae Scotland, tae be interred at Melrose Abbey. Douglas' bones wur boiled an returned tae Scotland; his embalmed hert wis recently recovered in the Douglas vaults at the Kirk o St Bride but his bones ar no in the stane vault lyin unner his effigy an thay hae yet tae be locatit.
Sir Archibald Douglas, Guardian o the Realm
The Scots airmy that focht an lost the Battle o Halidon Hill in 1333 wis led bi James' yungest brither who haed been electit Regent o Scotland in late Mairch o 1333. Sir Archibald Douglas haes been badly treatit bi some historians; frequently misidentifyin this Douglas warrior as the Tyneman or loser when the moniker wis intendit for a later less fortunate but equally warlike Archibald. He wis mentioned in Barbour's The Brus for his great victory durin the Weardale Campaign; leadin the Scots airmy further sooth intae Coonty Durham he devastatit the lands an teuk muckle booty frae Darlington an ither nearby touns an veelages.
Sir James 'The Good' Douglas' naitural son William succeedit tae the title as Lord o Douglas but mey no hae completit his title tae the estates, possibly acause he might hae been unnerage. He dee'd at Battle o Halidon Hill wi his uncle, Sir Archibald Douglas. James' younger brither, Hugh the Dull, Lord o Douglas, a Canon servin the See o Glasgae an held a Prebendary at Roxburgh became Lord Douglas in 1342; Hugh o Douglas resigned his title tae his nephew, the yungest survivin son o the Regent Archibald, William Lord o Douglas who wis tae acome the first Earl. The First Earl's legitimate son James Douglas, 2nt Earl o Douglas succeedit him. His illegitimate son bi Margaret Stewart, 4t Coontess o Angus wis George Douglas, 1st Earl o Angus, who wis the progenitor o the Earls o Angus kent as the "Red Douglases" an aw.
The prestige o the faimily wis greatly increased when James Douglas's great nephew, James Douglas, 2nt Earl o Douglas mairit a House o Stuart princess. In 1388 at the Battle o Otterburn he wis instrumental tae the Scots' victory, but wis killed durin the feghtin. Leavin nae legitimate heir, his titles passed tae the illegitimate son o his great uncle.

Clan Douglas
Murder o the Douglas chiefs at Edinburgh Castle
The Douglases became sae pouerful that bi the early fifteent century thay wur seen as a threat tae the stability o the naition. In 1440 the young William Douglas, 6t Earl o Douglas an his brither wur invitit tae dine wi the ten year-auld King James II o Scotland. The dinner wis organised bi Sir William Crichton o Clan Crichton. Kent as the Black Bull Dinner, a black bull's heid, the seembol o daith, wis brocht in. Efter the dinner the Douglas chiefs wur dragged oot tae Castle Hill, gien a mock trial an beheadit. The Clan Douglas then laid siege tae Edinburgh Castle. Crichton perceivin the danger surrendered the castle tae the King an wis raised tae the title o Lord Crichton. It is still unclear exactly who else wis ultimately responsible, tho it is thocht Crichton, Livingstone an Buchan as likely candidates.
Clan Conflicts
In 1448 Hugh Douglas, Earl o Ormond held command alang wi John Wallace o Clan Wallace when he led a Scots force tae victory against an Inglis airmy at the Battle o Sark in 1448.
The Douglases haed a lang feud wi Clan Colville. Sir Richard Colville haed killed the Laird o Auchinleck who wis an ally o the Douglases. Tae avenge this murther the Douglases attacked the Colvilles in thair castle, whaur mony wur killed. The Douglases levelled the Colville's castle an put thair men tae the swuird. William Douglas, 8t Earl o Douglas personally executit Richard Colville.
Murder o the Douglas chiefs at Stirling Castle
The strength o the Douglases made it impossible for James II o Scotland tae rule freely. Efter fruitless feudin wi the Douglases the King invitit William Douglas, 8t Earl o Douglas tae Stirling Castle in 1452 unner the promise o safe conduct, but then the King accused the Earl o conspiracy in his dealings wi the Yorkists in Ingland an throu a pact made atween Douglas, the Earl o Crawford an the Lord o the Isles. Upon Douglas' refusal tae repudiate the pact an reaffirm his lealtie tae James II, the King drew his dagger an stabbed Douglas in the throat. The story goes that the King's Captain o the Guard then finished off the Earl wi a pole axe. The body wis thrown frae the windae intae a gairden belaw, whaur it wis later gien burial. A stained gless windae bearin the Douglas Arms nou owerluiks "Douglas Garden", the spot whaur the Earl is said tae hae fallen.
Feud wi the Stewart royal family
In 1455 James Douglas, 9t Earl o Douglas rebelled against the king but his forces wur defeatit at the Battle o Arkinholm bi the king's forces who wur commandit bi the Reid Douglas, Earl o Angus. This brocht an end tae the Black Douglases. Efter the battle an act o parliament gae the Earl o Angus the lordship o Douglas wi the oreeginal possessions o his ancestors in Douglasdale. The 9t earl wis later defeatit bi the forces o King James III o Scotland at the Battle o Lochmaben Fair in 1484.
16t Century Conflicts
A dispute occurred in 1530, when Sir Robert Charteris, the 8t Laird an chief o Clan Charteris focht a duel wi Sir James Douglas o Drumlanrig in what wis said tae hae been ane o the last great chivalric contests. It wis focht wi aw the observance o a medieval tournament wi heralds an the king himsel watchin frae the castle walls. The joust wis apparently focht wi sic fury that Charteris' swurd wis brakken an the king haed tae send his men-at-arms tae pairt the combatants.

Durin the Wars o the Three Kinricks, William Douglas, 11t Earl o Angus, a Catholic, wis a supporter o Charles I o Scotland. In 1633, he wis creatit Marquess o Douglas. Followin the Battle o Kilsyth in 1645, he jynt James Graham, 1st Marquess o Montrose, an wis present when Royalist forces focht Covenanter cavalry at the Battle o Philiphaugh whaur he barely escaped wi his life. Follaein Cromwell's victory, he wis able tae mak peace an wis fined £1,000.
In 1660, William Douglas, the brither o the seicont Marquess o Douglas became, throu marriage, the Duke o Hamilton. Eventually, the titles o Marquess o Douglas, Earl o Angus, an several others devolved tae the Dukes o Hamilton an the heir o that hoose is aaways styled 'Marquess o Douglas an Clydesdale'. The Douglas an Hamilton lines became Douglas-Hamilton an, unner Scots law, ar barred frae inheritin the title o chief o Clan Douglas due tae the hyphenatit surname. This similarly applies tae the Douglas-Home faimily who jynt thair surnames in the aichteent century.
