Note

James III (1451-88), king of Scotland (1460-88), son of King James II,
born in Stirling. He was crowned king in 1460 after the Death of his
father. A regency ruled until 1469, when he began his personal rule.
Through his marriage to Margaret of Denmark (1457?-86) in the same year,
James gained control of the Orkney and Shetland islands. James was
unpopular with the Scottish nobles, who were led by his Brother Alexander
Stewart, duke of Albany (1454?-85). The nobles seized the king and kept
him prisoner in the castle at Edinburgh. Under the duke of Albany, English
forces took Berwick and advanced to Edinburgh. In 1487, James made peace
with the English, thereby further alienating his turbulent nobles, who
Rose in rebellion and induced James's son, later James IV, to become their
nominal head. In the ensuing Battle at Sauchieburn between the nobles and
the Royalists, James was defeated, and he was murdered after the Battle by
one of the rebels. He was succeeded by James IV.
