Biography

Archibald Douglas is a member of Clan Douglas.

Archibald Douglas was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.

Archibald was born. He was the son of William Douglas and perhaps, Margaret Hay. He passed away after 1475.

He is called uncle of the 5th Earl of Angus, Archibald Douglas in a Charter written in 1475, which means he had to have been a son of William Douglas, 2nd Earl of Angus and Margaret Hay, but it is possible he may have been illegitimate.^[1]
