Lady Blanche Elizabeth Mary Annunciata Noel,
daughter of the 2nd Earl of Gainsborough |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following romantic tale appeared in the New
Zealand 'Poverty Bay Herald' on 20 January |
|
|
|
1891:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The American papers bring news of the death in
a Boston hospital of a poor Irish musician |
|
|
|
named [Thomas] Murphy, who was the hero of one
of the most bizarre romances of the |
|
|
|
|
English peerage. In Rutlandshire there is a
great family called Noel - or rather calling itself |
|
|
|
|
Noel, for it is really Noel only in the female
line - and the head of it is the Earl of Gainsborough. |
|
|
|
The first Earl of Gainsborough, of the present
recreated line, was strongly Evangelical, as |
|
|
|
|
was also his countess; but, as is not
unfrequently the case, the austerity of their creed |
|
|
|
|
produced a reactionary effect on the mind of
their heir, and the second Lord Gainsborough |
|
|
|
became a Roman
Catholic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Without exactly bringing pressure to bear on
his dependents at Exton [Park, the family seat], |
|
|
|
he set himself to work to show them how to
become Catholics if they should feel like it; and |
|
|
|
with that view he established Catholic services
with exceptionally good music at the hall. For |
|
|
|
an organist he obtained the services of one
Murphy, and before two years were out his pride |
|
|
|
was lowered and his heart was broken by a
telegram from his daughter, Lady Blanche Noel, |
|
|
|
announcing that she and Murphy were in lodgings
in London, and wanted him to come and see |
|
|
|
them married. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
went up to London and satisfied himself that, as far as the girl's actual
honour was |
|
|
|
|
concerned, there was no overwhelming reason why
she should not be brought back to her home |
|
|
|
and
separated from the organist, who appeared to feel his position acutely, and
only made |
|
|
|
matters worse by explaining that he really had
been the passive agent in the matter. But Lord |
|
|
|
Gainsborough would not hear of separating them.
For one thing, all Rutlandshire knew of the |
|
|
|
flight, and in the second place he perceived
that his daughter's happiness was bound up in the |
|
|
|
marriage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He saw her married next day [6 March 1870],
giving her away himself with his son by his side, |
|
|
|
and then packed them off to America. It is said
by the Americans he disinherited her, but the |
|
|
|
peerage
is a poor one, and he gave her what was reasonable. The Americans also in the
poetic |
|
|
|
fancy,
speak of her as beautiful. Poor thing she was plain and shy, and unless she
had taken |
|
|
|
the
bull by the horns, it is my belief that she would never have had a husband at
all. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In America she earned money by writing her
recollections of English society, and by the time |
|
|
|
that vein was worked out she had acquired
sufficient aptitude to become a hack writer for the |
|
|
|
Press, her articles always, of course, being
gilded by her noble name. She died eight years ago |
|
|
|
[21
March 1881, at the age of around 35], and now the poor bewildered organist is
dead, too, |
|
|
|
in
a hospital [11 October 1890]. They lived affectionately, and struggled
bravely. Perhaps she |
|
|
|
was
as happy, or happier, than the rest of her kin. Her father never fully
recovered from the |
|
|
|
blow, and died very suddenly some years ago in a
four-wheeled cab.' |

Alan Plantagenet Stewart, 10th Earl of Galloway |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 10th Earl was noted for his eccentricities
and for being a constant thorn in the side |
|
|
|
|
of the Marquess of Salisbury, whose sister he
had married in 1871. She was inflicted with |
|
|
|
|
the odd christian name - for a female - of
Arthur, so named because the Duke of Wellington |
|
|
|
was her godfather. The Earl's eccentricity
extended to his appearance and, among other |
|
|
|
|
peculiarities, he made a point of always wearing
thick, knitted white gloves, winter and |
|
|
|
|
summer, as well as large blue goggles. Added to
this, his high white hat and his gloves |
|
|
|
|
were always extremely shabby, and his voice was
extraordinarily high-pitched. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Earl was noted for his intemperate language, full of profanities. On one
occasion, he |
|
|
|
|
applied to the then Prime Minister, the Earl of
Beaconsfield, for the mastership of the Royal |
|
|
|
Hunt, only to receive the following reply: 'I am
sorry I cannot recommend you for the office, |
|
|
|
as the Queen dislikes having anybody connected
with the Royal Household who is addicted |
|
|
|
to strong language. But I will gladly recommend
you for the lord high commissionership to the |
|
|
|
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
latter offer was meant by Beaconsfield as a joke, but the Earl accepted it in
all |
|
|
|
|
seriousness. As a result, Beaconsfield, who had
committed himself in writing to obtaining |
|
|
|
|
the post for the Earl, had no alternative but to
fulfil his promise, and in 1877 the Assembly |
|
|
|
of the Church of Scotland was presided over by the Earl with due
solemnity and decorum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of a far more serious nature, however, was a
criminal charge brought against the Earl in |
|
|
|
|
October 1889. The story of the Earl's trial can
be found in all of the major British newspapers |
|
|
|
of the time, but most reports are very bland,
confining themselves to the bare facts. Suffice |
|
|
|
it
to say that the Earl was charged with 'lewd and libidinous behaviour towards
Jane Ann |
|
|
|
|
Edwards Gibson, a girl under ten years of age.'
The Earl swore that, in helping the girl off a |
|
|
|
wall, 'his hand had accidentally come into
improper contact with her person.' Although few of |
|
|
|
the
British papers comment upon the Earl's subsequent acquittal from the charge,
'The |
|
|
|
|
Washington Post' was not so reticent, stating
that 'the scene in the court room, when the |
|
|
|
jury brought in the verdict, was one rarely
witnessed in a criminal court in this country [i.e. |
|
|
|
Scotland]. The guilt of the accused seemed so
clearly established, even by such evidence as |
|
|
|
was allowed to filter through the objections of
the six eminent counsel for the defence, that |
|
|
|
those present in the court room, many of whom
were friends and relatives of the little girl whom |
|
|
|
the aged nobleman was charged with abusing, took
no pains to conceal their disgust with the |
|
|
|
verdict.
The announcement of the verdict was the signal for loud expressions of
disapproval |
|
|
|
from
the benches where the spectators were seated, and the frowns and threats of
the |
|
|
|
|
presiding judge were of no avail to suppress the
cries of "Shame", "shame" uttered by dozens |
|
|
|
of indignant persons. In London the news of the
verdict is received with great indignation |
|
|
|
|
among the common people, and it is pointed out
that had the accused been anything but a |
|
|
|
great nobleman the evidence brought out would
have been sufficient to convict him a dozen |
|
|
|
times over.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In an editorial, 'The Scottish Leader' stated
that '………….when one in high station is charged |
|
|
|
with a serious offence, the police and a certain
section of society enter into a conspiracy of |
|
|
|
silence. The substance of the charge, and the
fact that the matter was in the hands of the |
|
|
|
police, were well known for nearly three weeks
before anyone ventured to associate Lord |
|
|
|
|
Galloway's name with it. Until today [i.e. the
day of the trial] the readers of certain papers in |
|
|
|
Scotland must have been unaware that a Scottish
Earl was implicated, so effectively does |
|
|
|
class bias set up a screen about any entitled
offender. The Dumfries police, instead of |
|
|
|
|
following the ordinary course of the law,
succumbed to Lord Galloway's name and rank, and, |
|
|
|
after attempts at secrecy and delay, handed the
matter over to the Procurator-Fiscal, It is |
|
|
|
easy to imagine how different and how vigorous
their action would have been had the charge |
|
|
|
lain
against a peasant instead of a peer; and had a peasant been tried, without he
advantage |
|
|
|
of jury and the help of the most eminent
Scottish counsel, it is not difficult to conceive a very |
|
|
|
different ending for the matter.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding this apparent close shave, the
noble Earl was again in trouble less than three |
|
|
|
months later. Again he was acquitted, but again
it was felt that his rank and wealth were the |
|
|
|
major reasons behind the acquittal. The
following article appeared in the 'Dundee Courier and |
|
|
|
Argus' of 24 January 1890:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Earl of Galloway is either a much ill-used
man or fortunate in being a Peer of the realm. |
|
|
|
Twice in the course of a few months has this
sprig of our "old nobility" been arraigned at the bar |
|
|
|
of a criminal Court, but on each occasion he has
managed to slip through the meshes of the law. |
|
|
|
If Lord Galloway is an innocent man, it is
incomprehensible why, under circumstances that forbid |
|
|
|
the
idea of conspiracy, his name should be twice mixed up in the course of such a
short time |
|
|
|
with charges pretty much alike in their
abominable nature. Some months ago his Lordship was |
|
|
|
tried before the Sheriff at Dumfries, the
accusation against him being that he had committed an |
|
|
|
indecent assault upon a little girl. The
evidence against him was strong, but ultimately he was |
|
|
|
acquitted. The Saturday
Review thereupon rushed to the assistance of
maligned aristocrats. |
|
|
|
It endeavoured to show that in these degenerate
times rank was a sufficient reason for a man |
|
|
|
to be branded with a crime. It more than
insinuated that Lord Galloway was the victim of a |
|
|
|
vile plot. This outburst was as ridiculous as it
was indiscreet. Even Lord Galloway's warmest |
|
|
|
sympathisers
must have felt that the verdict was one which ought to be accepted in a |
|
|
|
|
sprit
of thankfulness, not with bluster and bounce. Nor could the statement about
the members |
|
|
|
of the nobility having to suffer from trumped-up
charges have been more ill-timed, made as it |
|
|
|
was almost at the moment when Lord Arthur
Somerset and his highly connected friends were |
|
|
|
fleeing from justice for a nameless crime [i.e.
The "Cleveland Street Affair"]. Yesterday Lord |
|
|
|
Galloway was again called upon to answer to a
criminal charge, and once again he was lucky |
|
|
|
enough to get off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the Glasgow Central Police Court he was
accused of having accosted and molested a girl |
|
|
|
of sixteen, named Margaret Brown, in certain
public thoroughfares. The girl stated that while |
|
|
|
going on a message the prisoner came up to her
and muttered some words, but in such a low |
|
|
|
tone that she could not tell what was said. A
gentleman who happened to witness the scene |
|
|
|
advised the girl to call the police. Finding
that the man was still dogging her footsteps, she |
|
|
|
spoke to a policeman. Some distance further on
she stopped to look into a shop window, when |
|
|
|
the prisoner approached and stared into her
face. This thing was repeated when the next street |
|
|
|
was reached. Two constables who had been
following up the parties at this stage came forward |
|
|
|
and arrested the man. When taken into custody he
tendered his card and left a pledge of £10. |
|
|
|
The evidence of the girl Brown, of which the
foregoing is the substance, was corroborated by |
|
|
|
the
two policemen. The only plea urged for the defence was that after whispering
to the girl |
|
|
|
Lord Galloway had not addressed any remarks to
her, but Stipendiary Gemmel declared the |
|
|
|
charge not proven. Coming so closely upon the
Dumfries case, the result of this trial can |
|
|
|
|
hardly fail to create a bad impression upon the
mind of the people as to the administration of |
|
|
|
the law when the offenders have wealth or title
on their side. The idea of conspiracy in the |
|
|
|
Glasgow charge against Lord Galloway is out of
the question. The initiative was taken by the |
|
|
|
policemen. Glasgow has for some time past taken
a pride in dealing sharply with what are |
|
|
|
|
called gentlemen street pests, and exemplary
sentences have been passed upon well-dressed |
|
|
|
men convicted of following and accosting girls
in the streets. This was just what the two |
|
|
|
|
policemen saw Lord Galloway doing, though to
them his rank and name were unknown. They |
|
|
|
saw him persist in his conduct like any other
street pest of the "gentleman" type, and they |
|
|
|
apprehended the offender. It seems to us that
the officers did no more than their duty. The |
|
|
|
other week the Queen's Bench Division declared
that the fact of one man following another |
|
|
|
man, though without any word being uttered,
constituted an act of intimidation. With |
|
|
|
|
greater
force, therefore, might the law be expected to protect defenceless girls
from |
|
|
|
|
molestation, whether pursued in silence or not,
by cowardly fellows, no matter whether they |
|
|
|
happen to be clad in fustian or in proud
possession of an Earl's coronet.' |

The Gardner peerage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first Baron Gardner was a naval officer who
was created Baron Gardner in the peerage of |
|
|
|
Ireland on 29 December 1800 and Baron Gardner in
the peerage of the United Kingdom on 27 |
|
|
|
November 1806. He also represented Plymouth in
the House of Commons between 1790 and |
|
|
|
1796, and Westminster between 1796 and 1806. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On his death in 1809, he was succeeded in the
peerages by his son Alan Hyde Gardner, also a |
|
|
|
naval officer, who had previously married, in
March 1796, a Miss Maria Adderley. In one version |
|
|
|
of the story which I have found, one night
Captain and Mrs. Gardner were on their way to a |
|
|
|
party at the Earl of Strathmore's house when
word arrived that Captain Gardner's presence was |
|
|
|
required at one of the Government offices. Mrs.
Gardner continued her visit alone to Lord |
|
|
|
|
Strathmore's house, where she met a man named
Henry Jadis, who made such an impression on |
|
|
|
her that when Captain Gardner was ordered to
rejoin his ship, the pair became open lovers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In March 1805, Gardner sued Jadis for damages in
an action for Criminal Conversation (i.e. |
|
|
|
adultery). The following is extracted from a
report in 'The Times' of 4 March 1805:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the beginning of January 1802 Mrs. Gardner
went on board the Resolution [her husband's |
|
|
|
command] and remained either on board or in port
until the 30th of that month. It was not |
|
|
|
until the 7th of February, however, that the
Plaintiff [Gardner] sailed finally from England. The |
|
|
|
evidence will make it appear, that after the
30th of January she could have no intercourse with |
|
|
|
her husband; but posterior to the 7th of
February, it was an absolute impossibility. Toward the |
|
|
|
end
of July, 1802, Captain Gardner returned, when he found his wife pregnant. The
length of |
|
|
|
time that she had been in this situation must be
unknown to him; she pretended she was |
|
|
|
|
advised, by her physicians, on account of her
ill-state of health, not to cohabit with him; he |
|
|
|
consented, and he afterwards found she was
delivered, on the 9th of December, of a male |
|
|
|
child. Comparing then the dates, it will be
seen, in a moment, that this child could not be |
|
|
|
|
the Plaintiff's. On the 30th of January, above
said, she quitted this ship; from this date, to the |
|
|
|
9th of December, comprises a period of
forty-four weeks and three days; but if you extend the |
|
|
|
time to the actual day of his sailing, there is
still an interval of forty-three weeks and two days. |
|
|
|
Both of these exceed the time of gestation of
woman by the laws of nature. There have been |
|
|
|
many contests on the precise limit on this
subject……and [the time] at the furthest, is forty |
|
|
|
weeks……' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gardner therefore won his case, together with
damages of £1,000, and was able to divorce |
|
|
|
his wife and remarry. The second marriage
produced a son, Alan Legge Gardner, who ultimately |
|
|
|
succeeded his father as 3rd Baron Gardner in 1815. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1824 the son of Jadis and Mrs. Gardner, named
Henry Fenton Jadis, but who referred to |
|
|
|
himself as Henry Fenton Gardner, attempted to
claim the peerages. The following is an extract |
|
|
|
from "A Treatise on the Law of Adulterine
Bastardy" by Sir Harris Nicholas, published in 1836. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A petition was presented to the King on behalf
of the said Alan Legge Gardner early in 1824, |
|
|
|
praying His Majesty to order his name be placed
on the Parliament Roll as a minor peer, or to |
|
|
|
take such other measures, as His Majesty might
think proper, for declaring and recognising |
|
|
|
his right to the barony of Gardner. The petition
was referred to Sir John Copley, the Attorney- |
|
|
|
general, who reported it to be his opinion that
"by reason of the absence and separation of |
|
|
|
Lord Gardner from his first wife during the
whole of the period from the 7th of February to the |
|
|
|
11th of July, 1802, whilst employed in His
Majesty's service on a distant station, he could not |
|
|
|
be, and was not, the father of the child, born
of the body of his said first wife on the 8th of |
|
|
|
December 1802 [sources differ between 8th and
9th December as being the date of birth of |
|
|
|
the child]; and consequently that the petitioner
had established his right to the barony; but as |
|
|
|
he was informed by the solicitor of Mr. Henry
Fenton Gardner that he intended hereafter to |
|
|
|
establish his claim, he suggested that the
petitioner's claim be referred to the House of Lords." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After a careful enquiry as to the period of
gestation, during which the most eminent |
|
|
|
|
accoucheurs and midwives of the metropolis, and
several married women were examined, the |
|
|
|
House of Lords resolved that "Alan Legge
Gardner was the only son and heir male of the body |
|
|
|
of
his father Alan Hyde Gardner Lord Gardner, and that he had made good his
claim to the |
|
|
|
title, dignity and honour of Baron
Gardner;" thus establishing the illegitimacy of Mr. Fenton |
|
|
|
Gardner, the other claimant.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alan
Legge Gardner, the 3rd Baron Gardner, died in 1883, since which time the
peerage has |
|
|
|
remained dormant, although it seems extremely
likely that a number of heirs exist. The 3rd |
|
|
|
Baron Gardner died without male issue, so any
heirs are to be found among the descendants |
|
|
|
of the younger sons of the 1st Baron. The second
son of the 1st Baron was Francis Farrington |
|
|
|
Gardner, who died in July 1821. He had at least
three sons, the second of whom, Stewart |
|
|
|
William Gardner, who took service in India,
where he married a niece of the Emperor of Delhi, |
|
|
|
named Jane, but who was known in India as the
Hurmoozee Begum. Apparently this marriage |
|
|
|
was made according to local rites and produced a
number of sons. The eldest of these sons |
|
|
|
was named Alan Hyde Gardner, who in turn married
an Indian woman. The difficulty for these |
|
|
|
descendants of the younger sons of the 1st Baron
is to prove the validity of their marriages |
|
|
|
and, until this can be achieved, if at all, the
peerages seem destined to remain dormant. |
|
|
|
|
The last news of any claims for the peerage that
I can trace occurred in 1956, when the |
|
|
|
|
following report appeared in 'The Times':- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lieutenant-Commander David William Hyde
Gardner, R.N., stated last night that he intends |
|
|
|
to apply for a dormant peerage already claimed
by a 75-year-old man living in a village in |
|
|
|
|
India [see below for further details]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
'Since the death of the third baron in 1883, the
barony of Gardner has been dormant, although |

Janet
Douglas, widow of the 6th Lord Glamis, who was unjustly burned at the
stake |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following sketch of Janet Douglas, Lady
Glamis, is taken from the July 1971 issue of the |
|
|
|
Australian monthly magazine "Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When Janet Douglas was burned at the stake on
Edinburgh's Castle Hill one July day in 1537, |
|
|
|
the weeping crowd who saw her death agonies
witnessed one of the most hideous travesties |
|
|
|
of
justice in Scottish history. No one seriously believed that she had conspired
to murder |
|
|
|
|
James V of Scotland, that she had poisoned her
first husband, or was guilty of the black |
|
|
|
|
crimes of sorcery
and treason alleged against her. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The judges who reluctantly condemned her had
pleaded for the royal mercy. Some of the |
|
|
|
|
greatest Scottish nobles had begged in vain that
her life be spared. The perjured evidence |
|
|
|
of a disappointed lover, a
"confession" wrung from a screaming boy under torture and the |
|
|
|
|
implacable vengeance of a king were more than
enough to consign Janet Douglas to the flames. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The remorseless power politics of 16th century
Scotland claimed many a hapless victim, but |
|
|
|
none more tragic than the beautiful and
ill-fated "Bride of Glamis." Born about 1500, Janet was |
|
|
|
a child of the house of Douglas, which for
centuries had been famous in Scottish history for its |
|
|
|
pride, power and turbulence. She was a teenage
girl when the Douglas influence reached its |
|
|
|
peak
with the marriage of her brother, the Earl of Angus, to the widowed Queen
Margaret, |
|
|
|
mother
of the infant James V. For the next 15 years, with one short break, Angus and
the |
|
|
|
Douglas clan were the virtual rulers of
Scotland. Although Angus himself was driven into exile |
|
|
|
in 1522, he returned two years later, supported
by Henry VIII of England, to clamp his authority |
|
|
|
even more fiercely on the boy king and his court. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Janet
took no part in the intrigues and brutalities by which the Douglases
maintained their |
|
|
|
power over the jealous nobility and the
terrorised young monarch. She grew up one of the most |
|
|
|
notable beauties of the age with an oval,
ivory-complexioned face, a small figure, grey eyes and |
|
|
|
"the wit of an accomplished courtier."
Piety and learning added to the esteem in which she was |
|
|
|
held
and frequently she went on long pilgrimages to the religious shrines in
England and |
|
|
|
|
Scotland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1520 she married John Lyon, Lord Glamis, by
whom she had two sons, one of them a remote |
|
|
|
ancestor
of Queen Elizabeth II, who was to occupy the English throne more than 400
years |
|
|
|
later. For seven years the couple lived quietly
in the ancient castle of Glamis before the storm |
|
|
|
that was eventually to send Janet to the stake
burst. When her husband died in 1528, there |
|
|
|
was not the slightest suggestion that his death
was due to anything but natural causes. The |
|
|
|
lord of Glamis had long been sickly, possibly
the result of consumption. Janet had nursed him |
|
|
|
with devotion and none doubted the grief with
which she saw him buried. The, within the next |
|
|
|
few months, two more events marked fateful
stages in the destiny of Janet Douglas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The first was apparently trivial, when the
young widow rejected a proposal of marriage from |
|
|
|
William Lyon, a distant kinsman of her dead
husband. From a disappointed suitor, Lyon was |
|
|
|
converted into a bitter enemy whose cold-blooded
perjury 9 years later finally sealed the doom |
|
|
|
of the woman he had loved. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The second incident was played on the national
stage when, in 1528, the seemingly unshakable |
|
|
|
domination of the Douglases over the government
of Scotland suddenly collapsed in ruins. King |
|
|
|
James was now 16. For years he had been
humiliated under the arrogant tutelage of the Earl of |
|
|
|
Angus and his clan and at last he had nerved
himself to assert his independence. His flight |
|
|
|
from Angus's custody was a signal for every
Douglas foe to rise in arms to his support and by |
|
|
|
the end of the year the royal triumph was
complete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Angus
and his chief adherents escaped to England, but on the rest of the hated
family King |
|
|
|
James' vengeance fell with relentless fury.
Dozens of Douglas estates were confiscated, and |
|
|
|
their owners hounded to death or exile. The king
swore that nothing would satisfy him until the |
|
|
|
accursed
name was rooted out of the Scottish nobility. Even in her widowed retirement
at |
|
|
|
Glamis, Janet did not escape the frenzied
persecution that engulfed her family. In 1529 she was |
|
|
|
ordered to appear before the Scottish parliament
to answer charges of secretly and treasonably |
|
|
|
corresponding with her exiled brother, the Earl
of Angus. Janet ignored the summons and since |
|
|
|
the evidence against her was almost
non-existent, James contented himself with seizing her |
|
|
|
property and handing it over to one of his courtiers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But the king was only biding his time until
more deadly charges could be raked up against her - |
|
|
|
charges
that would horrify even those who still pitied her as a victim of royal
malice. Three |
|
|
|
years later, by which time Janet had wed a
second husband, Archibald Campbell of Skipnish, it |
|
|
|
seemed that James' opportunity had arrived. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Spies
planted in Janet's household came forward with their concocted stories.
Bribes and |
|
|
|
threats
produced other damning testimony against her. Early in 1532 she was arraigned
on a |
|
|
|
charge of having caused the death if her first
husband, Lord Glamis, "by potions, poisons, |
|
|
|
|
magical charms or other devilish arts of
sorcery." Once more, however, King James had over- |
|
|
|
reached
himself in his insatiable thirst for vengeance. The Scottish nobility and
public alike |
|
|
|
simply refused to believe that the devout Janet
Douglas was a witch and a murderer.
Thirty of |
|
|
|
the
lords and gentry empanelled as a grand jury to consider the accusation defied
the king's |
|
|
|
fury
by abruptly ending the "detestable proceedings." Twice James had
been thwarted. He was |
|
|
|
determined
that the innocent sister of "that prideful monster of treason," the
Earl of Angus, |
|
|
|
should not escape a third time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Another four years passed before the blow fell,
and now, blasted by betrayal and perjury within |
|
|
|
her own family, Janet's fate was certain. This
time the chief informer was William Lyon, the |
|
|
|
rejected lover whose rankling jealousy had been
further inflamed by Janet's marriage to his rival, |
|
|
|
Archibald
Campbell. Ever since Angus's flight, King James had been haunted by fear
of |
|
|
|
|
assassination at the instigation of the ruined
Douglases. When, early in 1537, Lyon confronted |
|
|
|
the king with a story of a murder plot woven by
Campbell and his wife, James listened with an |
|
|
|
eager ear. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For months, said Lyon, Janet had been in secret
communication with her brother in England and |
|
|
|
the
king's death was to be a signal for a general rebellion by the Douglas
chieftains and the |
|
|
|
nobles who followed them. What proof Lyon
produced will never be known, but James was easily |
|
|
|
satisfied, confident that the royal judges would
never dare to sweep aside an accusation of |
|
|
|
of
plotting against the life of the king, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Within a few days Janet, her husband, her two
young sons by Lord Glamis and an old priest in |
|
|
|
her household were seized and brought to
Edinburgh under a guard of soldiers. There, Janet was |
|
|
|
formally
arraigned on a charge of conspiring to murder King James by poison, and the
others |
|
|
|
were
accused of complicity in the same terrible plot. Once more the old stories
were raked up |
|
|
|
by
the king's busy lawyers - that Janet had killed her first husband by poison,
that she was a |
|
|
|
dabbler in black magic, that she had incited her
brother in his schemes of treason. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lyon's testimony formed the basis of most of
the indictment, but he was so obviously actuated |
|
|
|
by vindictiveness that even the king saw that
other evidence must somehow be found. It came |
|
|
|
from
Janet's own son, the 16-year-old Lord Glamis, who had been separated from his
mother |
|
|
|
and flung into the deepest and most noisome
dungeon in Edinburgh Castle. First the terrified boy |
|
|
|
was
forced to watch other victims have their bleeding limbs torn from their
sockets on the rack. |
|
|
|
Then, when he still stubbornly refused to
confirm Lyon's story, he was strapped to the rack |
|
|
|
himself until enough "evidence" had
been extorted from his agonised screams to complete the |
|
|
|
indictment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was June 1537 when Janet Douglas appeared
before the Earls of Atholl and Buchan and the |
|
|
|
other judges specially appointed by King James
to conduct the trial. Only at the reading of the |
|
|
|
"confession" signed by her tortured
son did her stoic calm break down, but never for an instant |
|
|
|
did she waver in her plea of innocence.
Nevertheless, she was convicted, and for the fearful |
|
|
|
crime of plotting the death of the sovereign the
law allowed only one sentence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Solemnly the Earl of Atholl pronounced her
fate. She was to be taken from prison to Castle Hill, |
|
|
|
there to be burned alive at the stake and her
ashes scattered to the winds. That same night |
|
|
|
the judges sent two of their number to the King
at Holyrood Palace urging him at least to delay |
|
|
|
the execution until the evidence could be
further examined. Coldly James told them to do their |
|
|
|
duty. When other nobles of the court tried to
add their appeals, the implacable king turned |
|
|
|
away and refused to listen to them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'And
so, on the morning of July 17, 1537, Janet Douglas was taken in a cart
through an |
|
|
|
|
enormous crowd of spectators to the scaffold
outside the walls of Edinburgh Castle. As the fire |
|
|
|
licked up her motionless figure, "hundreds
knelt on the stones to pray for her innocent soul or |
|
|
|
wept and cursed against the villains who swore
away her life." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Her pitiful son, Lord Glamis, was tried shortly
afterwards and condemned to be hanged, drawn |
|
|
|
and quartered - a sentence that King James
mercifully commuted to imprisonment for life. Her |
|
|
|
old household priest was beheaded, and her
husband, Archibald Campbell, speedily joined his |
|
|
|
stepson in the castle dungeons. Campbell,
however, did not remain a prisoner for long, for he |
|
|
|
had powerful clan kinsmen who soon contrived a
plan for his escape. The captive reached the |
|
|
|
top of the battlements and was lowering himself
down a wall by a rope when he fell and broke |
|
|
|
his neck on the
rocks beneath. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Only one grim footnote remained to the tragic
story of Janet Douglas. Half crazed with remorse, |
|
|
|
William Lyon flung himself at the king's feet
and retracted the accusation that had helped to |
|
|
|
send her to the fire. Without a flicker of
emotion, James told him to keep silent and never show |
|
|
|
his face in the royal court again.' |

temporarily during World War II. The "Daily
Telegraph" of 29 June 1942 contained both the news |
|
|
|
of his death and an obituary, as follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord
Glanely, the millionaire shipowner and sportsman, was killed in an air raid
on a South Western |
|
|
|
town [Weston-super-Mare] early yesterday. He was
74 and leaves no heir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
was his second night in a house which he had taken for the summer only a few
weeks ago. He |
|
|
|
moved in with a small staff from his country
home at Exning House, near Newmarket. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
valet, who had a room in the house, was also killed. The housekeeper was
badly injured. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I am not so young as I used to be, but I
hope to be able to have a restful month or two here," |
|
|
|
Lord Glanely said to a neighbour the evening he
arrived. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
man who pulled Lord Glanely's body from the wreckage said: "Right
underneath there was |
|
|
|
another body, which I recognised as that of the
valet." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord Glanely's [edited] obituary in the
"Daily Telegraph" reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord
Glanely, the shipwrecked cabin boy who became a millionaire shipping magnate
and owner |
|
|
|
of the Derby Winner Grand Parade, has died in an
air raid. He was 74. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
life story is one of the romances of industry. From being an office boy with
a firm of Cardiff |
|
|
|
shipowners, he became in 17 years owner of a
fleet of steamers. He also developed an interest |
|
|
|
in the turf and became one of the leading
racehorse owners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
was the son of a master mariner of Appledore, Devon. Before he was 12, in his
own words, |
|
|
|
he "hopped off from school" to join a
ship on a trip round Cape Horn. During the voyage he was |
|
|
|
shipwrecked and caught yellow fever. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
1897 Lord Glanely, then Mr. William James Tatem, married Miss Ada Williams, a
niece of the |
|
|
|
later Lord Merthyr, formerly Sir William Lewis.
He named his first steamer Lady Lewis. It was so |
|
|
|
successful that it repaid its costs in three years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
fleet was eventually amalgamated into the Tatem Steam Navigation Co. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
1907, the year in which King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited Cardiff
and opened the |
|
|
|
Queen Alexandra Dock, he was chairman of the
Cardiff and Bristol Channel Shipowners' Assoc- |
|
|
|
iation. During the Coronation year, 1911, he was
High Sheriff for Glamorgan. He was made a |
|
|
|
baronet in 1916 and was elevated to the peerage
two years later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady
Glanely died in 1930 [see the separate note beneath]. The only son died in
1905, and |
|
|
|
|
there is now no family, and no heir.' |

|
|
|
|
|
Lady Glanely's death was reported in the
"Western Daily Press" on 19 April 1930:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady
Glanely, the wife of Lord Glanely, the well-known racehorse owner, died
suddenly during |
|
|
|
Thursday night at Exning House, Exning, near
Newmarket. She was 54. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord
and Lady Glanely had been staying with the Earl and Countess of Dunraven at
Adare Manor, |
|
|
|
County Limerick, for some days and returned to
London early last week. On Wednesday Lady |
|
|
|
Glanely
went to Newmarket, her husband remaining in London. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although
not feeling in the best of health on Thursday night, there was nothing in her
condition |
|
|
|
to give cause for alarm until about midnight. In
fact, Lord Glanely spoke on the telephone from |
|
|
|
London to his wife during the evening, and she
then seemed quite cheerful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Later,
however, Lady Glanely took a sudden turn for the worse, and an urgent call
was put |
|
|
|
through to the Bath Club where Lord Glanely was
staying, and he immediately left by car and |
|
|
|
dashed through the night to Exning House. He
arrived, however, two hours after his wife had died. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
friend of Lady Glanely told a reporter that she had never really got over the
shock of a motor- |
|
|
|
car
accident in which she was involved just before Christmas, 1928. "She had
left Exning House |
|
|
|
by car for Bath," he said, "where Lord
Glanely, who was at Cardiff, was to join her. Lady Glanely |
|
|
|
was accompanied by her maid and the chauffeur
was driving the car. The car came into collision |
|
|
|
with a cyclist about two miles on the Newmarket
side of Royston. The chauffeur attempted to |
|
|
|
avoid a cyclist who came out of a side turning,
and the car skidded and overturned. Within a |
|
|
|
few
seconds the car was a mass of flames, and Lady Glanely was trapped inside
unable to open |
|
|
|
the door. Just then a man was passing, and he
immediately rushed up and managed to drag Lady |
|
|
|
Glanely out of the debris. He also rescued the
maid, and assisted the chauffeur, who had been |
|
|
|
unable to free himself. But for this man's
timely intervention nothing could have saved Lady |
|
|
|
|
Glanely. The car was completely burnt, and Lady
Glanely's luggage and jewels, estimated to be |
|
|
|
worth between £30,000 and £40,000 were lost." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady
Glanely, who was suffering from shock, was taken to a neighbouring house, and
later went |
|
|
|
back to Newmarket. She suffered from shock for
some time afterwards.' |

James Carr-Boyle, 5th Earl of Glasgow |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During his life, Glasgow maintained the largest
stable of racehorses in the United Kingdom. |
|
|
|
At the same time, however, they were one of the
least successful. He refused to name any |
|
|
|
of his horses and he was obstinately loyal to
certain blood-lines that had been proved to be |
|
|
|
total failures. However, if a horse failed to
perform to expectations, he had no hesitation |
|
|
|
|
in having the horse shot on the spot. On some
mornings, after a trial gallop, up to seven |
|
|
|
|
horses were known to have been shot. Since none
of the horses had ever been named, it |
|
|
|
|
was never quite clear if the right horses had
paid the price of their poor performances. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glasgow was always unpredictable. On one
occasion he argued with one of his trainers, James |
|
|
|
Godding,
over what Glasgow perceived to be a tasteless remark. While escorting Glasgow
on a |
|
|
|
tour of his stables, Godding pointed to one of
the horses, 'That's old Volunteer. He's won 17 |
|
|
|
races
and yet his owner's never seen him.' While the Earl puzzled over why an owner
should |
|
|
|
take so little interest in such a successful
horse, Godding added 'he's as blind as a bat.' Glasgow |
|
|
|
was
outraged at this remark and immediately removed all of his own horses from
Godding's |
|
|
|
stable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glasgow did not normally show such sensitivity,
however. He tended to treat people as brutally |
|
|
|
as his horses - when out hunting, it sometimes
amused Glasgow to select one of his own |
|
|
|
|
servants as the quarry. One evening he dropped
in late at the Doncaster Club and demanded a |
|
|
|
whisky. When he found out that there was no
service because the steward had retired for the |
|
|
|
night, Glasgow stormed upstairs to the steward's
quarters and set fire to his bed. |
