Margaret Tudor, Princess of England, Queen of Scotland, and her descendants, the Stuarts. Daughters may have been less welcome to kings than sons; they were, nonetheless, important political assets in a world where diplomacy and marriage were often closely linked. Even before her sixth birthday, Henry VII conceived of a marriage between James and Margaret, as a way of heading off the Scottish king's support for Perkin Warbeck, the Yorkist pretender to the throne of England. Though not immediately welcome, the card, once played, was not withdrawn. In September 1497 James concluded a lengthy truce with Henry, and the marriage was once more presented as a serious possibility. It is said that some on the English royal council raised objections to the match, saying that it would bring the Stewarts directly into the line of succession, to which the wily and astute Henry replied that "our realme wald receive na damage thair thorow, for in that caise Ingland wald not accress unto Scotland, bot Scotland wald acress unto Ingland, as to the most noble heid of the hole yle… evin as quhan Normandy came in the power of Inglis men our forberis." On 24 January, 1502 Scotland and England concluded the Treaty of Perpetual Peace, the first such agreement between the two realms for over one hundred and seventy years. That same day a marriage treaty was also concluded, and was the most visible sign — and guarantee — of the new peace. The marriage was then completed by proxy, so Margaret was now regarded as Queen of Scots; it has been noted by some historians that her brother Henry, who was then a child, second in line to the throne and the Duke of York, threw a tantrum when he realised his sister now held higher precedence in court than he did. In 1503, Margaret finally came to Scotland; the progress was a grand journey northward, and to this day there exists in the city of York a plaque commemorating the exact spot where the Queen of Scots entered its gates. Margaret suffered a personal trauma early in her arrival, when a stable fire killed some of her favourite horses, and her bridegroom came to console her. She and James were married on 8 August at Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh.It is reported that the marriage between James and Margaret, though not initially a love match, was one of strong affection. The couple had six children, of whom only one outlived infancy.
