The proof which these entries afford that Henry the Eighth was an angler, must interest the disciples of Isaac Walton. But Henry was not the only English monarch who was attached to the pursuit, Charles the Second, as well as his present Majesty having frequently sought relief from the cares of state in that tranquil amusement.
Anguisshe Lady Margaret, [98], [183], [281].
Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, in Scotland, who, in 1514, married Margaret queen dowager of Scotland and sister of Henry the Eighth, from whom he was divorced before 1526. Angus had fled into England and placed himself under the protection of Henry, who, in 1532, settled an annuity of 1000 marks upon him; and he remained in England until the death of James, King of Scotland. The Earl died in 1556. Lady Margaret Angus was evidently the issue of that marriage, and consequently the king's niece. She was at the time, when some pocket money was given her, little more than fifteen years old. This distinguished woman was the mother of Henry Lord Darnley, father of King James the First, and progenitrix of every subsequent monarch of this country.
