Notes:

Alexander Stewart (c. 1493 ? 9 September 1513) was an illegitimate son of King James IV of Scotland by his mistress Marion Boyd. He was the King's eldest illegitimate child. He was an elder brother of Catherine Stewart his only full sibling, a half brother to James Stewart, Margaret Stewart and Janet Stewart, the other illegitimate children of James IV and his mistresses. He was an older half-brother of the future James V.
His mother was Marion Boyd, daughter of Angus Boyd, who was Earl of Angus's brother-in-law through his second wife. Angus's influence over the young King may have been how Marion and James IV met and eventually had two children, Alexander born around 1493 and Catherine born around 1494. His sister married James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton.
From a young age Alexander was groomed for a life in the church. At the age of four his father received a dispensation from illegitimacy by Julius II enabling him to join the church. By September 1502 he was archdeacon, when his uncle James, Duke of Ross died in 1504 his father the King nominated him as the new Archbishop of St Andrews. Alexander was still only a boy at age 11 which would mean his father could still receive the revenues of St Andrews since Alexander was under age until he turned 27.
He received a superb education firstly from James Watson, later Dean of the Arts faculty at St Andrews, and latterly from Patrick Paniter whom he seemed to have been close to. In 1507 Alexander Stewart was sent to France on the royal ship the Treasurer. His education continued with lengthy journeys to the Low Countries, and Italy in 1507. In Padua he studied rhetoric and Greek under Erasmus who wrote a moving obituary after young Alexander's death at the Battle of Flodden. Erasmus mentioned their time at Siena where after studies in the morning Alexander would play the monochord, recorder or lute in the afternoon. Alexander returned to Scotland in 1510 and at the age of 17 became Lord Chancellor of Scotland.
Alexander was reportedly severely myopic, possibly from extensive study in poor conditions. In 1511 he co-founded St Leonard's College in St Andrews, whose chapel still stands (minus its original tower). A gateway with his coat of arms above the arch survives in St Andrews. He was killed along with his father at the Battle of Flodden.

Notes:

James V, (born April 10, 1512, Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scot.? died Dec. 14, 1542, Falkland, Fife), king of Scotland from 1513 to 1542.

During the period of his minority, which lasted throughout the first half of his reign, James was a pawn in the struggle between pro-French and pro-English factions; after he assumed personal control of the government, he upheld Roman Catholicism against the Protestant nobles and allied his country with France.

James was 17 months old when he succeeded to the throne of his father, James IV (ruled 1488? 1513). In the power struggle that developed between the pro-French regent, John Stewart, duke of Albany, and the head of the English party, Archibald Douglas, earl of Angus, each side sought to gain possession of the young ruler. James's mother, Margaret Tudor, complicated events by shifting her allegiance from her husband, Angus, to Albany.

Albany retired to France in 1524, and Angus kept James in confinement from 1526 until 1528, when the king escaped and forced Angus to flee to England. By 1530 James had consolidated his power in Scotland. He signed a treaty with his uncle, King Henry VIII of England, in 1534, but in 1538 he married the French noblewoman Mary of Lorraine and thereafter allied with France against England. A cruel man, he instituted in his later years a near reign of terror in Scotland, and his financial exactions did not endear him to his subjects.

When Henry VIII's forces attacked Scotland in 1542, James's small army, weakened by the disaffection of the Protestant nobles, crossed into England and was easily routed near the border at Solway Moss on Nov. 24, 1542. The disaster caused the king to suffer a mental breakdown; he died on Dec. 14, 1542, a week after the birth of his daughter? his only surviving legitimate child? Mary Stuart (Mary, Queen of Scots). Among his several illegitimate children was James, earl of Moray (died 1570), who became regent of Scotland when Mary Stuart abdicated her throne in 1567.

His marriage to Mary of Guise: James then proceeded to marry Mary of Guise, daughter of Claude, Duke of Guise, and widow of Louis II d'Orl?ans, Duke of Longueville, by proxy on 12 June 1538. Mary already had two sons from her first marriage, and the union produced two sons. However, both died in April 1541, just eight days after baby Robert was baptised. Their daughter and James's only surviving legitimate child, Mary(Queen of Scots), was born in 1542 at Linlithgow Palace.

His children, many illegitimate:

By Madeleine de Valois: no children

By Mary of Guise:

James, Duke of Rothesay (22 May 1540, St Andrews, Fife ? 21 April 1541).
Arthur[59] or Robert, Duke of Albany (12 April 1541, Falkland Palace ? 20 April 1541), buried in Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh.
Mary, Queen of Scots (8 December 1542, Linlithgow Palace ? 8 February 1587; had issue).
Additionally, James V had nine known illegitimate children, at least three of whom were fathered before the age of 20. The young King was said to have been encouraged in his amorous affairs by the Angus regime to keep him distracted from politics. In addition to these aristocratic liaisons, David Lindsay described the king's other affairs in his poem, The Answer to the Kingis Flyting; 'ye be now strang lyke ane elephand, And in till Venus werkis maist vailyeand.'

Many of the sons of his aristocratic mistresses entered ecclesiastical careers. Pope Clement VII sent a dispensation to James V dated 30 August 1534, allowing four of the children to take holy orders when they came of age. The document stated that James elder was in his fifth year, James younger and John in their third year, and Robert in his first year.

Notes:

Born c. 1531 and murdered 1570. Moray, born James Stewart, was the illegitimate half-brother of Mary Queen of Scots. Moray was a ruthless, and clever politician who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Ambitious and power-hungry, he was the most powerful nobleman of his age. He played a major part in driving Mary from Scotland. [2, 3]**

James Stuart/Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray lived from 1531 to 23 January 1570. A half brother of Mary Queen of Scots, he was a convert to Protestantism who variously supported and opposed her, before eventually, while acting as Regent to the infant James VI, defeating her in battle and forcing her into exile and imprisonment in England.

James Stewart was the illegitimate son of James V of Scotland and Lady Margaret Erskine, daughter of John Erskine, 4th Earl of Mar. During Mary Queen of Scots' childhood years in France, James became an early convert to Protestantism. He then joined with the Protestant lords opposing the efforts of Mary's mother, Marie de Guise, who as Regent of Scotland sought to preserve the Catholic status quo, using French troops against both the English and internal Scottish dissent.

When Mary Queen of Scots returned from France in 1561, James Stewart became her chief adviser, and the following year she made him the 1st Earl of Moray. In 1562 he led Mary's forces to put down a rebellion by the 4th Earl of Huntly: and in the same year married Agnes Keith, daughter of William Keith, 4th Earl Marischal.

In 1565 James Stewart strongly opposed the marriage between Mary and Lord Darnley. When the marriage went ahead anyway, Stewart raised a rebellion against Mary in Ayrshire. On 26 August 1565, Mary led an army out of Edinburgh to put down the rebellion, pursuing the rebels over much of southern Scotland in what became known as the Chaseabout Raid. James Stewart escaped and sought sanctuary in Queen Elizabeth I's England, a country with which he had been trying to negotiate closer links.

Stewart was among those who plotted a coup attempt against the now heavily pregnant Mary in March 1566, the first step of which was the murder of her Private Secretary, David Rizzio. The coup was defeated after Mary turned Lord Darnley against the other consiprators, and he helped her to safety at Dunbar Castle under the protection of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell.

Mary's ruthless suppression of the conspirators against her overlooked Stewart, partly because he was in England at the time, and partly because his involvement remained unknown to her. As a result he was able to returning to Scotland in 1566, being pardoned by Mary for his rebellion following her marriage to Darnley. By luck or design, he happened to be in France when Lord Darnley was murdered, and during the period of uproar that followed Mary's marriage to the Earl of Bothwell culminating in Mary's forced abdication in favour of her infant son James VI.

James Stewart returned to Scotland to be appointed Regent to the young James VI. When Mary later escaped from Lochleven Castle and attempted to regain power, it was James Stewart who led the forces that defeated her at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568, leading to her ill-judged flight to, and imprisonment in, England.

James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray ruled Scotland as a very effective Regent for James VI until 23 January 1570. During a visit to Linlithgow he was assassinated by James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, a supporter of Mary. In death he wrote one last small footnote in history: his was the first ever recorded assassination by a firearm anywhere in the world. James Stewart was buried at St Giles Kirk in Edinburgh.

Notes:

Countess of Moray

Doune Castle, standing on a grassy eminance commanding the village and the river, is the setting for one of the most haunting and dramatic ballads in the repertoire, The Bonnie Earl 0' Moray'. The castle was built in the late fourteenth century by the Duke of Albany, later passed to the Crown and thence to the Earls of Moray, who own it still. The second Earl was murdered at Donibristle in Fife in 1592. If the words of the ballad about the event are to be believed, the king may have had a hand in it, or if he didn't was not much upset. He went hunting on the day of the funeral. The good-looking Earl was a lightweight and hardly deserved to be immortalised in such poignant words and music.
?i?Ye Hielands and ye Lawlands,
0 where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray,
And laid him on the green.
He was a braw gallant,
And he rode at the ring;
And the bonnie Earl o' Moray,
He might have been a King.
0, lang will his ladye look
Frae the Castle Doune
Ere she see the Earl o' Moray
Come soundin?sup?'?/sup? through the toun.?sup?'?/i??/sup?
And if you stand on the ramparts, you'll realise that she could have seen him coming from a very long way off.
