James II King of Scotland JAMES STUART Eldest Son of King James the First of Scotland was born together with his Brother Alexander on the fourteenth day of October in the year one thousand four hundred and thirty And being scarce seven years of Age when his
the borders of Northumberland fought against the English on the 9th day of September Anno Domini One thousand five hundred and thirteen Yet various have been the opinions concerning the loss of this King Some will have it That he fell in the Battle on that fatal day others That he made his escape The English say with greatest likelyhood That he was slain in the field that they found his Body well known to several of their Officers conveyed it to Berwick embowelled seared and wrapped it in Lead carried it to London and from thence to the Monastery of Shein in the County of Surrey where it was buried And John Stow assures us both in his Survey of London and his Chronicle That after the spoil of that House to wit in the time of King Edward the sixth he saw the aforesaid Leaden Chest and the reputed head of the said King the hair both of the Head and Beard being red To this the Scotch Annalists make answer That on the day of the fight several men of renowned Valour resembling the King in stature and proportion were apparelled like him had peculiar Guards and Followers appointed them in all appearance as the King himself that in case the King should be killed it might not be justly known to either party until after the Battle whose fall might encourage the one and dishearten the other and that the person so taken by the English was one of those mock-Kings viz. Alexander Lord Elphinstone the King's Favourite who resembled him both in Face and Shape who couragiously fighting that day and many of his Friends and Followers of the Nobility falling on each side of him was at length himself slain which number of Nobles the courage and resistance of the person and the resemblance he had of the King gave the English occasion to believe it was himself A second reason they give why the Body found by the English was not their King's is For that he had been accustomed to wear next to his skin an Iron Girdle of a considerable weight a severity imposed upon himself ever since his being in arms against his Father when he was killed at Bannocksbourn and that no such Girdle or Chain of Iron unto which he usually every three years added more links was found on the Corps that was carried to Berwick They further say That he was seen soon after the Battle between Kelsoe and Dunce and supposed to be carried to the Castle of Humes where he was privately murdered and for which the Lord Humes was afterwards accused tryed in Parliament but acquitted because there was no positive evidence that could make it appear that they had seen the King after the fight But the more common and vulgar report was That he was still living who seeing the Victory incline to the Enemy and that so many brave men perished through his own wilfulness in not declining the Encounter according to the advice of his Nobles the shame thereof made him timely withdraw himself and forsaking the Kingdom went to the Holy-Land where he spent the remaining part of his days in tears and repentance And this they grounded upon some former resolutions he had made to visit the holy Sepulchre but being prevented by the death of Bishop Blacktour and other occurrences intervening who had been sent before to prepare his way took this opportunity to accomplish it Much like the story of Charles Duke of Burgundy who having lost the Battle at Nancy was never heard of more and therefore his Subjects for many years would not believe but that he was alive and at Ierusalem Be it which way it will we are certain of this that neither the one nor the other ever afterwards appeared on the Stage of the World to act either as Princes or private persons This King James took to Wife the Lady Margaret eldest Daughter of King Henry VII of England by whom he had four Sons and two Daughters JAMES Prince of Scotland and of the Isles born at Holy-rood-house on the 21 st day of January Anno One thousand five hundred and seven and died the 17 th of February next following at Sterling ARTHUR Prince of Scotland and of the Isles born on the 20 th day of October Anno Domini One thousand five hundred and nine at Holyrood-house and died on the 14 th of July the next year at the Castle of Edinburgh JAMES third Son was King of Scotland and ALEXANDER a Posthume born six months after the death of his Father viz. on the 30 th of April Anno Domini One thousand five hundred and fourteen and was created Duke of Rothsay but died young at Sterling and was buried at Cambus-kenneth The Daughters one born on the 15 th of July Anno Domini One thousand five hundred eight the other Anno Domini One thousand five hundred and thirteen died soon after Baptism The Queen after the death of her Husband married again and took to Husband Archibald Douglas Earl of Angus by whom she had one sole Daughter and Heir born at the Castle of Hathottel in Northumberland and named Margaret given in marriage to Matthew Stuart Earl of Lenox Governour of Scotland Father and Mother of Henry Lord Darnley who wedded Mary Queen of Scots She was afterwards divorced from the Earl of Angus and married a third Husband viz.
