Egidia Graham & the 9th Earl of Angus

She buried her husband at Glenbervie Kirk beneath a magnificent, towering stone sarcophagus, upon which she ordered the entire genealogy of the Lairds of Glenbervie carved in stone, tracing their proud bloodline back to its mythical foundation in the year 730 AD.

In a particularly bizarre twist that fascinated the King, another accused witch named Geillis Duncan (no relation) was forced to play a strange, traditional dance tune before the royal court to demonstrate her allegiance to the devil.

As the smoke cleared from the execution pyres, the male line of the senior Earls of Angus lay totally extinct, and by ancient feudal right, the entire earldom—along with its massive estates and sovereign privileges—reverted directly to William Douglas of Glenbervie.
