episode Queen Margaret Tudor of Scotland cover

Queen Margaret Tudor of Scotland

She was born at Westminster Palace as the eldest daughter and second child of King Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York. Margaret's marriage to James IV linked the royal houses of England and Scotland, which a century later resulted in the Union of the Crowns. As queen dowager she married Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus. After they were divorced, she married Henry Stewart, 1st Lord Methven. Margaret Tudor had several pregnancies, but most of her children died young or were stillborn. Through her first and second marriages, respectively, Margaret was the grandmother of both Mary, Queen of Scots, and Mary's second husband, Lord Darnley. Upon his ascent to the English throne, Margaret's great-grandson, James VI and I, was the first person to be monarch of both Scotland and England after Elizabeth I died childless.
