Van wie was Jacobus IV van Schotland?

Jacobus IV (Stirling Castle, 17 maart 1473 – Flodden (Northumberland), 9 september 1513) was koning van Schotland van 1488 tot 1513. Hij was een zoon van Jacobus III en Margaretha van Denemarken (1456-1486).

Margaret Drummond (died 1501) was a daughter of John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond, and a mistress of King James IV of Scotland.

She had a daughter, Lady Margaret Stewart. The death of Margaret Drummond has been the subject of a very persistent romantic legend.

Marion Boyd (fl. late 15th century) of Bonshaw, also known as Margot or Margaret, was a mistress of King James IV of Scotland, and his first important mistress.

She was the daughter of Archibald of Nariston and Bonshaw (dead before May 1507), and his wife Christian Mure (still living on 28 January 1523). She had two brothers, Robert of Bonshaw and Patrick. She had also a sister, whose name is not known, married, first, to Hugh Mure of Polkellie, and, secondly, to Archibald Craufurd of Craufurdland, and another sister, Elizabeth, married to Thomas Douglas, younger of Lochleven.

Marion and James IV had two children who reached adulthood: Alexander, Archbishop of St Andrew, born about 1490, and Catherine, who married James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton.

Marion also had an illegitimate son with James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Arran. Their son James Hamilton of Finnart was born illegitimate about 1495 but was later legitimated in 1512. Her three granddaughters were mentally ill and declared legally incompetent.

She was related to Thomas Boyd, Earl of Arran, and a niece of Elizabeth Boyd, the second wife of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus. Her relationship with the king was linked with the rise and fall of Angus's influence at the court.

Janet Kennedy (c. 1480 – c. 1545), was a Scottish noble and the mistress of King James IV of Scotland.
