## Bio

Margaret Tudor, eldest daughter of Henry VII, married James IV of Scotland at 13 in 1503 under the Treaty of Perpetual Peace. They had six children; only one survived to adulthood. When James IV died at Flodden in 1513, she became regent for their infant son James V — until her 1514 marriage to Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, cost her the regency by the terms of her late husband's will. The Duke of Albany replaced her, but in 1524 she staged a coup with the Hamiltons while he was in France and reclaimed control, later serving as chief counsellor when James V came of age. In 1527 the Pope annulled her second marriage; the next year she married Henry Stewart, Lord Methven. Through her tangled matrimonial record she became grandmother to both Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley — and her great-grandson James VI inherited Elizabeth I's throne in 1603, uniting the crowns her wedding treaty had tried to keep apart.
