‘Black Dinner’
‘Black Dinner’, 1440. Later title given to the beheading, following a banquet in Edinburgh castle on 24 November 1440, of William 6th earl of Douglas [S] and his brother David, on the orders of Chancellor Crichton. Neither Douglas was forfeited, and their removal was probably planned by their uncle James ‘the Gross’, who became 7th earl of Douglas.
