Life
He was the son of James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton and Princess Joan of Scotland, Countess of Morton, daughter of James I of Scotland by his wife Lady Joan Beaufort. He became earl in 1493, upon his father's death. He was succeeded by his son James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton.
A very wealthy man but unlike many of his peers, John did not become embroiled in the intrigues and politics of his day. Instead, the shrewd Earl of Morton worked to improve his holdings and was quite the litigator in his time, successfully defending his interests in court. It turned out later that John, as lord of Dalkieth was aware the land had great value both above and below the surface and in fact sat on what was later described as the Great Midlothian Coalfield.

James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton - died 1553.

"Fell" at Flodden. The Battle of Flodden or Flodden Field or occasionally Battle of Branxton (Brainston Moor[4]) was a conflict between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland. The battle was fought in the county of Northumberland in northern England on 9 September 1513, between an invading Scots army under King James IV and an English army commanded by the Earl of Surrey.[5] It was an English victory. In terms of troop numbers, it was the largest battle fought between the two Kingdoms.[6] James IV was killed in the battle, becoming the last monarch from the British Isles to suffer such a death.
