George, 4th Earl of Angus
The Earls of Angus remained loyal to James II even as their kinsmen, the Black Douglases, were making war on him. George, 4th Earl of Angus led the King's Army against his kinsman, James, 9th Earl of Douglas, at the Battle of Arkinholm in 1455. The result was the end of the Black Douglases. After the battle an act of parliament gave Angus the lordship of Douglas with the original possessions of his ancestors in Douglasdale. The 4thEarl died in 1463.
