A small church in southern Scotland contains the mausoleum of medieval Scotland's most powerful noble dynasty. Let's meet one of them. This is the second chapter of James 'the Black' Douglas.
Aww I'm so glad! I absolutely LOVE the Black Douglases, the drama and symbolism is so wild and like something out of a fantasy novel. Hope you enjoy the next two instalments! :)
Are you writing a history book Beth? So much researched knowledge and pictures to share. My adoptive parent’s surname was Douglas, loved my ‘dad’ fiercely, and am enjoying learning about the Douglas clan. In this day and age of choice I identify as a Black Douglas - fierce and full of Scottish pride. 🤪😂
I am! I don't have a publication date yet but have been working on my upcoming book, Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence, for 2.5 years now with Pen & Sword Publishers. I've actually been editing the finishing touches this week so I'm hoping it will be published very soon. Substack subscribers will be the first to know so stay tuned! Love how interested you are in the Douglas name and history, its definitely a very proud one to have I think! Glad you have enjoyed reading about them, thanks for the lovely comment :)
