      (The following is from "The Munro Beacon" - Vol. 35, No. 3 - "Reign of the House of Stewart (Stuart)" - by Liam Paterson.)

      «i»A king with a reputation more as an aesthete than a warrior, James III had the unfortunate experience of going to war against a revolt led by his own son. In the event, the prince's forces prevailed and James III was killed near Bannockburn in 1488, allegedly assassinated by an individual disquised as a priest.«/i»
