The battle of Arkinholm, 1 May 1455, was fought where the town of Langholm now stands (NY 36 84). The Douglas earldom was a menace to the Crown, and when the Earl was forced into England his brothers. Earls of Moray, and Ormond, opposed, and were defeated by, the royal army, itself under the command of a Douglas, the Earl of Angus.
