Old photograph of The Collegiate Church of St Nicholas Buccleuch in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland. This Medieval church, became collegiate in 1406. Medieval nave and transepts restored in 1854 by David Bryce. James, 1st Earl of Morton, and his wife Princess Joanna, the profoundly deaf third daughter of James I, are buried within the choir. Joan Stewart, Countess of Morton, also called Joanna, born 1428, died 16 October 1486), was the daughter of James I, King of Scotland, and the wife of James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton. She was known, in Latin, as the muta domina, mute lady, of Dalkeith. Joan had two younger brothers, including the future King of Scotland, James II, and five sisters. She had the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. Joan married The 4th Baron Dalkeith before 15 May 1459, who at the time of their marriage was raised to the peerage as the first Earl of Morton. Together Joan and her husband James had four children: Sir John Douglas, 2nd Earl of Morton, killed at the Battle of Flodden; James Douglas; Janet, married to Sir Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell. Elizabeth, mentioned in a charter of 1479 after which nothing further is known of her.
