James V burned Lady Glamis in 1537, took Glamis Castle and its silver, and the legend says she still kneels in the chapel

Kind 1 and kind 2. Janet Douglas was the widow of John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis, who died in 1528, and the sister of the Earl of Angus, whom James V had driven out of Scotland. In 1532 she was indicted for poisoning her late husband. Two juries refused to sit and were fined. On 17 July 1537 she was tried for conspiring to poison the king and for aiding her exiled brothers. She was found guilty and burned on the Castle Hill of Edinburgh the same day. The English ambassador wrote that she died without "substanciall ground or proyf". The next day her second husband, Archibald Campbell of Skipness, fell to his death trying to escape Edinburgh Castle. Her son John, about 16, signed a confession under threat of the rack. On 18 July he was condemned to death and his estates and honours were forfeited. The execution was deferred. James V granted outlying lands to courtiers in more than thirty charters, melted the twelve silver flagons of Glamis for the mint, and kept a royal household at Glamis Castle from 1538 to 1542. After the king died, John was released, and in March 1544 Parliament rescinded the forfeiture. The legend says Janet is the Grey Lady seen kneeling in the castle chapel, where one seat is kept empty for her. Glamis is the home of Simon Bowes-Lyon, 19th Earl of Strathmore, who succeeded in 2016.
