About
During the early-to-mid sixteenth century, James V served as King of Scotland. He was the father of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was born less than a week before his death and ascended to the Scottish throne only days after her birth. 
Family
Born at Linlithgow Palace, he was the son of Henry VII's daughter, Margaret Tudor, and Scottish King James IV. James V's first marriage, to Madeleine de Valois, ended with his young bride's death of tuberculosis; his second marriage, to Mary of Guise, produced Mary, Queen of Scots.
