Mary of Guise, Queen of Scotland, wife of James V and mother of Mary, Queen of Scots. She was, in truth, always French at heart. When widowed, for the second time, at 27, she lived on for 18 more years to rule Scotland with moderation and wisdom. Portrait of Mary of Guise, 1515-1560, Queen of James V attributed to Corneille de Lyon © National Galleries of Scotland
James V, King of Scotland and father to Mary, Queen of Scots. He died of, among other things, a broken heart, aged 30 without ever seeing his daughter. Portrait of James V, 1512–1542, father of Mary, Queen of Scots by an unknown artist © National Galleries of Scotland
