James "Heriot-Muir" Douglas KG, 9th Earl of Douglas, 3rd Earl of Avondale was buried after 22 June 1491 at Lindores Abbey, Lindores (near) Newburgh, co. Fife, Scotland; From Find A Grave:
     BIRTH     1426
     DEATH     Nov 1491 (aged 64–65), Scotland
     Knight of the Garter, 9th Earl of Douglas, of the Black Douglases. Earl of Avondale, Lord of Balveny.
     Second child and second son of James Douglas, 7th Earl of Douglas (James the Gross) and Beatrice Sinclair, daughter of Henry, 2nd Earl of Orkney. Grandson of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas and Joan Moray of Bothwell.
     Husband of his brother, William's widow, their cousin, Margaret Douglas, the Fair Maid of Galloway, daughter of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Douglas and Euphreme Graham. Reportedly the marriage, (which might not have actually taken place) was to keep the family estates together. There is evidence of a later divorce.
     The family history was full of conflict with the Scottish King James II: Margaret's two brothers were summoned to Edinburgh to a 'Black Dinner' in 1440 where King James II charged both boys with false charges and had them beheaded at dinner. The lordships of Annandale and Bothwell fell to Margaret.
     Then, James's brother William, 8th Earl of Douglas, was invited to Stirling Castle under safe conduct in 1452 by King James II, which in itself said relations were strained at best. The king demanded dissolution of a rebellious league Douglas had joined into with Alexander Lindsay, Earl of Crawford and John of Islay. Douglas refused, James stabbed him 26 times and had his body thrown out the window. His title passed onto James, the second son, who married his brother's widow in order to preserve the family estates.
     Secondly, he was the third husband of Anne Holand, widow of two John Nevilles.
     Another branch of the Douglas family, the Red Douglases, took sides with the king against the Black Dougleses. James fled to England, his three brothers (Hugh Douglas Earl of Ormonde, Archibald Douglas Earl of Moray, and John Douglas Lord of Balvenie), and were defeated at the Battle of Arkinholm. Hugh was taken prisoner and executed, Archibald was killed, and John escaped to England. James was attainted in 1455, all his lands, estates and holdings were forfeited to the crown, then divided among the Red Douglases, the lordship fell to the 4th Earl of Angus.
     James would try and return to Scotland with the aid of Edward IV in 1461, but was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lochmaben Fair in 1484, and died in 1488, two years after the death of Anne. Some records state his death as 1491.
