John Douglas, 2nd Earl of Morton

John Douglas, 2nd Earl of Morton died 9 September 1513 at the Battle of Flodden.〔A general history of Scotland. vol.4. by William Guthrie. p.372〕
==Life==
He was the son of James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton and Princess Joan of Scotland, Countess of Morton, daughter of James I of Scotland by his wife Lady Joan Beaufort.〔''The Scots Peerage, Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland'', Sir James Balfour Paul, Vol. VI (David Douglas, Edinburgh, 1909), p. 356〕 He became earl in 1493, upon his father's death. He was succeeded by his son James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton.
A very wealthy man but unlike many of his peers, John did not become embroiled in the intrigues and politics of his day.〔Herbert Maxwell, ''A History of the House of Douglas'', Vol. I (Freemantle & Co., London, 1902) pp. 242-3〕 Instead, the shrewd Earl of Morton worked to improve his holdings and was quite the litigator in his time, successfully defending his interests in court.〔''The Scots Peerage, Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland'', Sir James Balfour Paul, Vol. VI (David Douglas, Edinburgh, 1909), pp. 357-8〕 It turned out later that John, as lord of Dalkeith was aware the land had great value both above and below the surface and in fact sat on what was later described as the Great Midlothian Coalfield.〔
