Notes for James I King Of England: James, kings of Scotland. James I, 1394–1437 (r.1406–37), was the son of ROBERT III. Fearful for his safety because of the ambitions of the king's brother, Robert Stuart, duke of Albany, Robert III sent James to France in 1406. The prince was captured by the English and held captive until 1424. Treated as a royal guest, he was well educated. Ransomed by several Scottish nobles, he returned to Scotland and governed energetically. He brought peace by ruthless methods, exterminating members of the Albany family. James's popularity was lessened by his vindictiveness, cupidity, and quick temper; he was assassinated by a group of nobles. He is thought to be the author of a number of fine poems. His son, James II, 1430–60 (r.1437–60), had successive Earls of Douglas as regents during his minority. Allying himself with William Douglas, the 6th earl, he was ruling in his own right by 1450. When he discovered (1452) William in a conspiracy, he killed him. After the ensuing revolt, he seized the Douglas lands. He invaded England in the Wars of the ROSES and was accidentally killed. His son, James III, 1452–88 (r.1460–88), was seized at his mother's death by the Boyd family, who ruled until 1469. A cultivated king, James lacked the force necessary in a turbulent period. He fought with his brother, Alexander STUART, who, aided by other nobles, rebelled in 1482. The nobles rebelled again in 1488. At the Battle of Sauchieburn between nobles and the Royalists, James was defeated. He was murdered after the battle by one of the rebels. He was succeeded by James IV.
