• Notes

  ********** (The following is from "The Munro Beacon" - Vol. 35, No. 3 - "Reign of the House of Stewart (Stuart)" - by Liam Paterson.) «i»Like many Scots monarchs, James V became king when he was still a child. Until he took over the throne, the country was ruled by a number of regents. When he eventually took over the matter of ruling his country, James proved a tough and capable king, subduing rebels in the Border region and the Western isles. However, he met disaster at the battle of Solway Moss in 1542, a defeat that was so demoralising that it is said to have led to his death. His famous comment on the birth of his only living heir, Mary was: "It cam wi' a lass and it will gang wi' a lass", although it is somewhat debatable that he spoke with a broad Scots accent.«/i» ********** Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA
