Narrative

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 19, Ed. 1, Tree #1362, Date of Import: Apr 26, 1999]
James IV, 1473-1513 (r.1488-1513), was a popular and able monarch who
brought progress and stability to Scotland. In 1503 he married Margaret
Tudor, daughter of HENRY VII of England. Scottish relations with England
deteriorated with the accession of HENRY VIII. James invaded England in
1513 and was killed in the battle of Flodden, in which the Scottish
aristocracy was almost annihilated. His son, James V, 1512-42
(r.1513-42), was the object of a struggle between his regents. Held
captive, he escaped (1528) and allied himself with France against Henry
VIII. He married MARY OF GUISE in 1538. War with England broke out in
1542. James's nobles gave him little support, and his army was routed at
Solway Moss. He died shortly thereafter and was succeeded by his infant
daughter, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.
