He would have the Tudor blood, as James V was the son of Margareth Tudor.... Mary did go on to marry her cousin and thereby giving James VI a stronger claim, but the Earl of Moray was still a great grandson of Henry VII of England

I might be wrong but I heard that they didn't actually call themselves Tudors but that they called themselves Richmond's . Something about not wanting to associate with their Welsh roots

Yes, Tudor is a name they were given later. Richmond was in use, but I believe they used any title they had connecting them to the English throne as much as possible. They were after all usurpers, even if Margareth was born as princess of England

Bruce, that dress really brings out your eyes, darlin'. 😂

Convoluted, isn’t it? I’m the Geordie who lives near Fotheringay, whose son feels more Scottish than English on his maternal Grandmother’s side (a Stewart and proud of it) and who, coincidentally, lives 40km North of Paris. I love your stories, Bruce. Keep keeping up the good work 🌞

Margaret Erskine's sons by her not-James husband were the Douglas brothers of Lochleven: William, who became Queen Mary's jailer, and George, her rescuer.

I'd not drawn the connection with the treaty of Rouen. I may have read it and it just didn't click. But untii you narrated the story, I didn't link the Summer Queen with the Treaty, and the machinations that went on. Just alway assumed that the marriage to Mary of Guise the more important, but Madeline's brief life had more impact than a dusty old tome has related. Her Dsd, Francis I must have been livid and mad with grief when she passed away only 6 months later. Fascinating telling of the tale. Bruce

Interesting as usual Bruce ! I think I may have some Erskines in my tree or are they Bumkins? Anyway , I’m glad I’m not related to this lot as they all probably gained their wealth and power by being the local gangsters of their day .

@9:55 you say “but if this James had become James VI, then he wouldn’t have had the Tudor blood that was passed to Mary Queen of Scots” but James Stewart, the illegitimate son of James V and Margaret Erskine did have the Tudor blood. The Tudor blood came from Margaret Tudor, who was the mother of James V. So every child of James V had the Tudor blood, regardless of who their mother was.

@ScotlandHistoryTours

Aye apologies, James VI. In him you get a double dunt of Margaret's blood that needed Mary. Apologies for the poor explanation

Wow. Never thought of that. Thanks.

This video would have been better if it somehow it ended up talking about Sheena Easton. Now there is an interesting Scottish story

If Mary hadn't been heir to the throne of Scotland would the Rough Wooing been to try and force the Scottish king to marry Mary or Elizabeth Tudor?

Thanks for shedding more light on another episode of the Franco-Scottish alliance ;) So tragic that she died at such a young age. Things can have been so different! Just FYI, at 1:45 you shared a royal portray while referring to Madeleine's father, Francis I of Valois. However the portray is actually of his son and successor, and brother to Madeleine, Henri II - He is the one who died following a head injury at a tournament.

Hi Bruce , great video ! Did you find out if James IV had children with Agnes Ramsey ?

Beg pardon, but if it happened in 1537, the king was François I, but it looks like your portrait was of Henry II. (Franois II having died to young to lead a 16 yo bride to the altar)

😊

Okay, after this video I'm thinking the Scots invented the soap opera.

Mr Bruce..wonderful but to follow the story , there was nothing on right hand side.....when you going to be on TV

Great video , would you do one on daughter of James I of Scotland Joan Stewart , deaf and dumb married to Earl of Morton , formidable women and my ancestral grandmother ❤

With nine illegitimate children that would suggest to me that just about everybody in Scotland would have James V among their ancestors somewhere.
