Page "Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus" Paragraph 12

Angus, having fortified himself in Tantallon, was attainted and his lands confiscated.

Repeated attempts by James to subdue the fortress by siege failed, and on one occasion Angus's men captured the royal artillery.

At length, Tantallon was given up as a condition of a truce between England and Scotland, and in May 1529 Angus sought refuge with Henry VIII in England.

He obtained a pension and took an oath of allegiance, with Henry's promise to make his restoration a condition of peace.
