James V who had been dominated by his Douglas stepfather and
manipulated by other members of the Clan became obsessed in his hatred of all of the name of Douglas and carried on a ruthless vendetta against them. Poor Lady Campbell (as Lady Glamis had become after her husband's death), a woman of impeccable character, of singular beauty and popularity, did not escape this depraved monarch's ferocity. A trumped-up charge of witchcraft was brought against her and she was condemned to be burnt at the stake as a witch. After long imprisonment in a dark dungeon, she was almost blind. Luckily her husband was dead and did not have to suffer seeing her being burnt alive outside Edinburgh Castle. Even her young son was condemned to death and imprisoned only to be released after the king had died. Not content with this grave atrocity, the King considered Glamis Castle as forfeit to the Crown, occupied it and held Court there from 1537 to 1542. Many existing royal decrees and charters are dated from the Castle during this period. These events suggest the Castle was a comfortable and desirable place at the time.
