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

      «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»
