Margaret Tudor was Henry VIII\'s older sister and became the Queen of Scotland after her marriage to James IV in 1503.
Yet, all she did she did for her son James V, and her absolute conviction he would rule Scotland as its rightful king..
Although Margaret wished for peace between the two countries, these were tumultuous years and she didn’t always make the wisest choices.
Over the years, Margaret’s allegiance swung between England and Scotland, making her brother Henry VIII both her ally and her enemy at times.
After James IV’s death, she made the disastrous decision to marry the Earl of Angus, threatening her regency and forcing the Scottish council to send for the Duke of Albany to rule in her stead.
She was continually caught between her country of birth and the country she ruled.
Her life was troubled and fraught with tension.
