Talk:William Douglas, 9th Earl of Angus

Barbara Napier
I removed the following:
 * His death was purported to have been caused by witchcraft. During the North Berwick witch trials, one Barbara Napier was accused and found guilty of bewitching the Earl to his death. Napier was subsequently burnt at Edinburgh's Castlehill.(Newes from Scotland 1591)

Because (1) it is using a primary source. (2) The dates don't match up, this man (the 9th Earl) died in 1591, one year after the trials started, and the article on Archibald Douglas, 8th Earl of Angus makes the same claim. -- PBS (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
