About Archibald Douglas, 1st Earl of Ormond

Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus, 1st Earl of Ormond was the eldest son of William Douglas, 1st Marquis of Douglas, from whom he obtained the courtesy title of Earl of Angus. Douglas was a member of the privy council of Scotland from 1636; vacillated in his opinions on the new service-book, originally (1636) approving its use. He was appointed an extraordinary lord of session in 1631. He signed the covenant, was unwilling to take up arms in its defence, but was a commissioner for the covenanters in England in 1643. In 1646 he was made colonel of Régiment de Douglas in France when his brother Lord James Douglas, was killed in action. He was a member of the committee of estates in 1650.
