James V
of Scotland
(died 1542)

James was referring to the Crown of Scotland. His only child, Mary, was only six days old. Scotland was suffering the depredations of England which was trying to force it to renounce Roman Catholicism. Henry VIII's troops had recently scored a stunning victory at Solway Moss.
