This is a tribute to my fourteen greats grandfather and a reproduction of "James IV, king of Scots" of about 1503 by an anonymous artist. James IV was one of the most successful Stewart kings and, through his marriage to Margaret Tudor of England, led to the union of the English and Scottish monarchies which foreshadowed the creation of the United Kingdom. He died fighting the forces of his brother-in-law Henry VIII on Flodden's Field on September 9, 1513. The original of this painting is in the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.
