The Minority of James V
Scotland in Europe, 1513–1528
Ken Emond New Hardback
Postscript summary
Following the death of his father at the Battle of Flodden, James V (1512–1542) became king at the age of 17 months but only began to rule in his own name in 1528. This study of his 15 year-long minority examines the relations between the crown and Scottish magnates and the competing interests of the English – during the regency of James’ mother, Margaret Tudor – and the French, represented by the king’s uncle, John, Duke of Albany.
Product information
Full publisher description
The defeat of the Scots in the Battle of Flodden in 1513 left many of the leaders of Scottish society, including King James IV, lying dead on the battlefield. The long and complex minority of King James V which followed is explored in detail in this book, bringing understanding to the evolving relationships among the Scots, English and French against the background of the wider European context of the early sixteenth century.
The competing interests of England and France were personified in two of the Scottish Regents: Queen Margaret Tudor, the sister of Henry VIII, and John, Duke of Albany, James V's nearest male heir, who had been brought up in France and represented the French connection as much as the Scots. The interests of leading Scots' families, the Hamiltons and the Douglases, were also at the heart of the power struggle. The book offers a rare insight into a turbulent period of Scottish politics.
