She survived the Earl for many years, but was dead before February 1503. She seems to have married twice after the Earl's death her second husband being a person named Carmichael, whom Godscroft says was a younger brother of Carmichael of that Ilk, though he discredits the story for want of evidence, but a James Carmichael and Peter Carmichael of Dron are named as brothers of the fifth Earl of Angus, and Peter Carmichael appears as executor or intromitter with the estate of Elizabeth or Isabella, Countess of Angus, in February 1503, after her death. The Countess's third husband was Sir Robert Douglas of Lochleven, and after 1489 he is frequently named along with her as a litigant before the Lords of Council. By his wife, George, fourth Earl of Angus, had issue ..."
