William Douglas, 6th Earl of Morton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Douglas, 6th Earl of Morton, (d. 1606) was the 4th Earl of Morton's near kinsman, being the son of Sir Robert Douglas of Loch Leven (d. 1547), and was closely associated with him in his career, the two men being occasionally confused in the histories. He was the custodian at Loch Leven Castle of Queen Mary I of Scotland.
The title Earl of Morton was declared forfeit in 1581 when the 4th earl was attainted; that same year it was granted to Lord Maxwell. In 1586 the attainder was reversed and the title returned to the 4th earl's family. By the 4th earl's will Douglas succeeded in 1588 to the earldom of Morton, on the death of the 8th Earl of Angus.
Preceded by:
Archibald Douglas Earl of Morton
1588–1606 Succeeded by:
