I thought the Black Dinner took place in 1440? David.Monniaux 09:28, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] James the Gross
James the Gross was Earl of Douglas, not Earl of Buchan. 'To be a Douglas and be Gross withall, You shall not find such another among them all.'
The Black Dinner was held at Edinburgh Castle in November 1440, not Stirling. 'Edinburgh Castle, Town and Tower, God grant ye sink for sin, And that even for the Black Dinner Earl Douglas got therin.' Rcpaterson 23:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Douglas Power
I would be pleased to know who the 'some' are who have argued that James stood in danger of losing the throne? The section on James' struggle with the house of Douglas is, quite frankly, all over the place. Who, for example, are the mysterious 'opponents' who repeatedly forced the king to back down? This page is crying out for a rewrite. I will return, MacArthur style, as soon as I have attended to one or two other matters.Rcpaterson 23:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
