This is a work in progress. More will be added as time and resources permit. A gallery of Playtron Courtiers will eventually happen.

The Vice Regent, John Stuart, Duke of Albany

The Regency of Scotland has shuffled back and forth between John Stuart and Queen Margaret. It now resides permanently with Queen Margaret until James V, King of Scots ascends his majority on his birthday in April 1534. The Duke of Albany spends more time in France than in Scotland, but he is next in line for the throne of Scotland if James V produces no legitimate heirs of his own. As Vice-Regent, Albany is charged with the instruction of the King in matters of being an honourable man. The Duke is married to Anne, Duchess of Albany.

The Earl and Countess of Fife, Laird Avery and Lady Tamra MacDuff

The Earl of Fife leads the Council of Lairds. The Countess presides over Fife in his absence (and sometimes in his presence!). Laird Avery is the Lord High Protector of Queen Margaret. Lady Tamra protects Avery from Queen Margaret!

The Earl of Argyll

Colin Campbell, Earl of Argyll. Drinking buddy of the Earl of Fife. One of the largest land holders of Scotland. Laird High Caterer to the Court of Scotland and in Epicurean Matters of State.
