John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis

From thepeerage.com: John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis was born circa 1491¹. He was the son of John Lyon, 4th Lord Glamis and Elizabeth Gray. He married Janet Douglas, daughter of George Douglas, Master of Angus and Elizabeth Drummond, before 12 December 1527¹. He died on 8 April 1528 at Leith, Scotland.¹

The title Lord Glamis was created in 1445 for Sir Patrick Lyon (1402–1459), grandson of Sir John. John Lyon, 6th Lord Glamis, married Janet Douglas, daughter of the Master of Angus, at a time when King James V was feuding with the Douglases. In December 1528 Janet was accused of treason for bringing supporters of the Earl of Angus to Edinburgh. She was then charged with poisoning her husband, Lord Glamis, who had died on 17 September 1528. Eventually, she was accused of witchcraft, and was burned at the stake at Edinburgh on 17 July 1537. James V subsequently seized Glamis, living there for some time.[5]
