He was the King of Scotland.
During his minority successive earls of Douglas vied for power withfactions led by Sir William Crichton and Sir Alexander Livingstone. Thepower of the Douglases was temporarily broken (1440) by the judicialmurder of William Douglas, the 6th earl, but the king later alliedhimself with William Douglas, the 8th earl, to overthrow Crichton andLivingstone. By 1450, James ruled in his own right. When in 1452 the kingdiscovered Douglas in a conspiracy, James called him to Stirling, chargedhim with betrayal, and stabbed him. After the resulting rebellion, theking attainted James Douglas, the 9th earl, and seized the Douglas lands.During his reign James improved the justice courts and regulated thecoinage. A Lancastrian partisan in the Wars of the Roses, he invadedEngland and was accidentally killed at the siege of Roxburgh. His sonJames III succeeded him.[BowmanSimpson204.FTW]

James II reign was stained throughout by warfare between the Scots and the English and betwee n the Scots themselves. He had to destroy the Earls of Douglas through trickery and the onl y time the Scots were anything like unified was when they were fighting the English. The end of James' turbulent reign came in 1460 when he died, fittingly enough, at the siege o f English held Roxburgh Castle. James was married once, to the daughter of the Duke of Guelders. She gave him six children; J ames, Alexander, David, John, Mary and Margaret.

BIOGRAPHY: Not for the first time in the former century and a half the heir to throne was of tender years. Perhaps what is more striking is that James was King of Scotland at the age of just seventeen months. A Governor was required to rule , nominally in the interest of the infant king. This Governor was John Duke of Albany, a grandson of James II of Scotland. This governorship led to a bitter dispute as Albany was a staunch Francophile and even spoke French as his first lang uage. This leaning he had towards France was directly opposed by those who preferred the friendship of England. In the end Albany was dismissed as Governor due to him spending more time in France than in Scotland. James now came to power fu lly. At the age of 14 he ordered the suppression of the warring clans and the destruction of the border raiders. Later he fell out with King Henry VIII of England over his apparent leaning towards France. Once more war broke out with the Sc ots being humiliated at the Battle of Solway Moss. With no surviving (legitimate) children and close to death he was told of the birth of perhaps the most famous Stewart of all, his daughter Mary Stewart. James had married in Paris in 1537. His bride on this occasion was Princess Madeleine de Valois of France. The marriage was short-lived as Madeleine died just 6 months later. His second marriage, to Marie de Guise Lorraine, brought him three children. Unfortunately both Jame s and Arthur died in infancy. He was survived by Mary however.
BIOGRAPHY: Following the murder of his father James came to the throne of Scotland at the age of fifteen. He had been with the rebellious lords who had defeated his father at the Battle of Sauchieburn and came to the throne not as naive as many of his contemporaries. Wars with England was becoming something of a habit and James IV can claim to have been involved in two of them. The first was in support of the impostor Perkin Warbeck. Warbeck claimed to be a survivor of the mu rders of the princes in the tower and therefore the rightful claimant to the English throne. This was false but James was not to know this. He attacked England and was only stopped by Henry VII offering his daughter in marriage to James. Ja mes accepted. Once more the tide of decision turned and James once again attacked England. This invasion was doomed and at Flodden field in September 1513 the power base of Scotland was virtually wiped out. James' marriage to Margaret Tudor brought six babies into the world, of which only two survived to a fruitful age; James and Alexander.

James II reign was stained throughout by warfare between the Scots and the English and b etween the Scots themselves. He had to destroy the Earls of Douglas through trickery and the only time the Scots were anything like unified was when they were fighting the English. The end of James' turbulent reign came in 1460 when he died , fittingly enough, at the siege of English held Roxburgh Castle. James was married once, to the daughter of the Duke of Guelders.

BIOGRAPHY: King of England and Scotland, who succeeded his brother Charles II in 1685. James was born in St James's Palace in 1633. Several attempts were made to exclude him from the succession because he was a Catholic, especially followin g the alleged popish plot to murder King Charles. James's pro-Catholic policies aroused intense opposition, and when he produced a Catholic heir (James Francis Edward , the Old Pretender) open revolt broke out. He was deposed in 1688 and th e glorious revolution put his Protestant son-in-law and daughter, William and Mary, on the throne. James's attempt to regain the throne was thwarted at the Battle of the Boyne,after which he spent the rest of his life in exile in France.
King of Scotland
James I (of England)
James I (of England) (1566-1625), king of England (1603-25) and, asJames VI, king of Scotland (1567-1625).
Born on June 19, 1566, in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, James was the onlyson of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Lord Darnley. WhenMary was forced to abdicate in 1567, he was proclaimed king of Scotland.A succession of regents ruled the kingdom until 1576, when James becamenominal ruler. The boy king was little more than a puppet in the hands ofpolitical intriguers until 1581. In that year, with the aid of hisfavorites, James Stuart, earl of Arran, and Esm t, duke of Lennox,James assumed actual rule of Scotland. Scotland was at that time divideddomestically by conflict between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics,and in foreign affairs by those favoring an alliance with France andthose sup porting England. In 1582 James was kidnapped by a group ofProtestant nobles headed by William Ruthven, earl of Gowrie, and was heldvirtual prisoner until he escaped the next year.
In 1586, by the Treaty of Berwick, James formed an alliance with hiscousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the following year, after theexecution of his mother, he succeeded in reducing the power of the greatRoman Catholic nobles. His m arriage to Anne of Denmark in 1589 broughthim for a time into close relationship with the Protestants. After theGowrie conspiracy of 1600, James repressed the Protestants as strongly ashe had the Catholics. He replaced the feudal power of t he nobility with astrong central government, and maintaining the divine right of kings, heenforced the superiority of the state over the church.
In 1603 Queen Elizabeth died childless, and James succeeded her as JamesI, the first Stuart king of England. In 1604 he ended England's war withSpain, but his tactless attitude toward Parliament, based on his beliefin divine right, led to prolonged conflict with that body. James convokedthe Hampton Court Conference (1604), at which he authorized a newtranslation of the Bible, generally called the King James Version. Hisundue severity toward Roman Catholics, however, led to t he abortiveGunpowder Plot in 1605. James tried unsuccessfully to advance the causeof religious peace in Europe, giving his daughter Elizabeth in marriageto the elector of the Palatinate, Frederick V, the leader of the GermanProtestants. He also sought to end the conflict by attempting to arrangea marriage between his son, Charles, and the infanta of Spain, then theprincipal Catholic power. When he was rebuffed, he formed an alliancewith France and declared war on Spain, thus contributing to the flames hehad tried to quench. James I died at the Theobalds in Hertfordshire onMarch 27, 1625, and was succeeded to the throne by his son, Charles I.
NOTES: He was 17 months old when his father (James IV) was killed. Hismother acted as regent until her marriage in 1514 to Archibald, 6th earlof Angus. In 1525, during the continued struggle for control of thecountry, James was taken priso ner by his stepfather. Three years laterthe King escaped and assumed control of Scotland. His uncle, Henry VIII,King of England, tried to induce James to repudiate the authority of theRoman Catholic Church, but James refused, and relations between Englandand Scotland became strained; in 1542 war broke out.

James II reign was stained throughout by warfare between the Scots and the English and b etween the Scots themselves. He had to destroy the Earls of Douglas through trickery and the only time the Scots were anything like unified was when they were fighting the English. The end of James' turbulent reign came in 1460 when he died , fittingly enough, at the siege of English held Roxburgh Castle. James was married once, to the daughter of the Duke of Guelders. She gave him six children; James, Alexander, David, John, Mary and Margaret.

BIOGRAPHY: King of England and Scotland, who succeeded his brother Charles II in 1685. James was born in St James's Palace in 1633. Several attempts were made to exclude him from the succession because he was a Catholic, especially followin g the alleged popish plot to murder King Charles. James's pro-Catholic policies aroused intense opposition, and when he produced a Catholic heir (James Francis Edward , the Old Pretender) open revolt broke out. He was deposed in 1688 and th e glorious revolution put his Protestant son-in-law and daughter, William and Mary, on the throne. James's attempt to regain the throne was thwarted at the Battle of the Boyne,after which he spent the rest of his life in exile in France.
King of Scotland
James I (of England)
James I (of England) (1566-1625), king of England (1603-25) and, asJames VI, king of Scotland (1567-1625).
Born on June 19, 1566, in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, James was the onlyson of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Lord Darnley. WhenMary was forced to abdicate in 1567, he was proclaimed king of Scotland.A succession of regents ruled the kingdom until 1576, when James becamenominal ruler. The boy king was little more than a puppet in the hands ofpolitical intriguers until 1581. In that year, with the aid of hisfavorites, James Stuart, earl of Arran, and Esm t, duke of Lennox,James assumed actual rule of Scotland. Scotland was at that time divideddomestically by conflict between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics,and in foreign affairs by those favoring an alliance with France andthose sup porting England. In 1582 James was kidnapped by a group ofProtestant nobles headed by William Ruthven, earl of Gowrie, and was heldvirtual prisoner until he escaped the next year.
In 1586, by the Treaty of Berwick, James formed an alliance with hiscousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the following year, after theexecution of his mother, he succeeded in reducing the power of the greatRoman Catholic nobles. His m arriage to Anne of Denmark in 1589 broughthim for a time into close relationship with the Protestants. After theGowrie conspiracy of 1600, James repressed the Protestants as strongly ashe had the Catholics. He replaced the feudal power of t he nobility with astrong central government, and maintaining the divine right of kings, heenforced the superiority of the state over the church.
In 1603 Queen Elizabeth died childless, and James succeeded her as JamesI, the first Stuart king of England. In 1604 he ended England's war withSpain, but his tactless attitude toward Parliament, based on his beliefin divine right, led to prolonged conflict with that body. James convokedthe Hampton Court Conference (1604), at which he authorized a newtranslation of the Bible, generally called the King James Version. Hisundue severity toward Roman Catholics, however, led to t he abortiveGunpowder Plot in 1605. James tried unsuccessfully to advance the causeof religious peace in Europe, giving his daughter Elizabeth in marriageto the elector of the Palatinate, Frederick V, the leader of the GermanProtestants. He also sought to end the conflict by attempting to arrangea marriage between his son, Charles, and the infanta of Spain, then theprincipal Catholic power. When he was rebuffed, he formed an alliancewith France and declared war on Spain, thus contributing to the flames hehad tried to quench. James I died at the Theobalds in Hertfordshire onMarch 27, 1625, and was succeeded to the throne by his son, Charles I.
NOTES: He was 17 months old when his father (James IV) was killed. Hismother acted as regent until her marriage in 1514 to Archibald, 6th earlof Angus. In 1525, during the continued struggle for control of thecountry, James was taken priso ner by his stepfather. Three years laterthe King escaped and assumed control of Scotland. His uncle, Henry VIII,King of England, tried to induce James to repudiate the authority of theRoman Catholic Church, but James refused, and relations between Englandand Scotland became strained; in 1542 war broke out.
