Archibald was also responsible for the construction of Threave Castle, a long time Black Douglas Stronghold. In 1384, Archibald defeated the English garrison at Lochmaben Castle and in so doing removed the last of the English Army in Annandale. He died at Threave Castle in 1400.Carrying on the military tradition of his fore fathers, Archibald "The Tyneman", 4th Earl of Douglas, Duke of Touraine fought against King Henry IV of England at Shrewsbury. Archibald, bent on the extermination of the King, hunted the field ruthlessly for the Monarch. King Henry, for his own security, had dressed a number of his noblemen in the royal attire. Three of these impostors met their fates at the blade of Douglas. Douglas was captured and mercifully released by the victor.source:http://charm.www5.50megs.com/drysdale/drysdale.htmladded:07jan2006
