«i»James is recorded as being a well-educated, intelligent man who spoke many languages and who had interests in matters such as science and medicine. Like his father before him, James IV died on the field of battle. In his case, it was one of the most disastrous and well-known battles in the long Scots-English conflict - Flodden. Scotland was left without a mature monarch until James V was old enough to take over the kingdom in 1528.«/i»

«i»James II (1437-1460)
Called 'fiery face' due to a birthmark, James is recorded as a strong-willed and often ruthless ruler. Not averse to a bit of bloodshed, James fought for his right to rule against Scotland's strong aristocracy, particulary the Douglas family, with whom he waged war throughout much of his adult reign. It would be unlikely for a Stewart to die peacefully in his bed, but James's own end was a singularly spectacular one: blown to bits by one of his own artillery pieces during a siege at Roxburgh.«/i»
