Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox, was the daughter of Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus and Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII. She's buried in the Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey.[1][2]
Secret Affair and Prison
Margaret was incarcerated for having an affair with Thomas Howard (son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk and Agnes Tilney). Henry VIII, refused to let them marry, and locked them both up. But due to illness, Margaret got out of prison, and survived her sentence ... while her lover died in the Tower.[3][4]
They had no children, but conjecture from Moss (1976), alleges they had a son, Robert. Beyond this... there's no proof that actually happened.[5]
Marriage
In any event... the truth is that she turned around, and married Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox. Her grandson, James became King of Scotland as James VI.[1][3][4]
