		William, 2nd Earl of Angus, in 1425, was responsible for the imprisonment of the Dutchess of Albany in Tantallon.

	Significant Scots - Archibald Douglas
		This man, in a luckless hour for himself, began to speak disparagingly of the earl, in the true Scottish fashion of doubt, saying, "It is true, if all be good that is up-come," insinuating that the earl’s valour and courage might not be quite corresponding to his appearance.
		In this infamous coalition, we regret to find the Earl of Angus a leading member; and from his possessing the wardenship of the eastern marches, by which the keys of Scotland were at his belt, he seems to have been the firmest dependence of the unscrupulous Albany.
		It was now deemed a fitting time by Angus and his associates to hint at their plan, which they had kept in reserve, of dethroning the king, and placing Albany in his room, under English protection; but the Scottish nobles were not only astonished, but indignant at the idea.

		At that time Earl Gillechrist, who was the first Earl of Angus, gave the ‘chapels, lands, tithes, common pasturage aisements, and all the pertinents belonging to the Church of Kerimor’ to Arbroath Abbey.
		However, the fact that an Earl of Angus had such a close relationship with Kirriemuir in 1201 suggests that the Earl was the patron of the church at Kirriemuir, and that this connection probably extended back into Pictish times when the equivalent of an Earl was a ‘Mormaer’.
		This development was associated with the growing power of the House of Douglas who was the Earls of Angus and controlled the barony of Kirriemuir at that time.
