hes my 14th great grandfather on my paternal side as well, his mistress Margaret Drummond gave birth to my 13th great grandmother before she was poisoned. the lore goes crazy
Am from Stirling and I look at Stirling castle daily and never knew James Iv was born there, and he’s right Stirling castle is the greatest castle in Scotland
According to my ancestry DNA, King James IV is my 14th great grandfather so you just helped me find my next vacation destinations. If you have anymore videos I’m subscribed and will be paying attention, thank you
James IV was Scotland's most important monarch, in my opinion. A lover of art and architecture, and a real European monarch - a proper renaissance man. Too bad that he was poor at battle. There was an event a few years back at Linlithgow Palace celebrating the anniversary of his marriage to Margaret Tudor. They had jousting and that poetry competition thing where the competitors try to come up with the best insult for their opponent - it was excellent. They've now started doing it every year, and it's well worth a visit.
It's coming James, but there are just so many things to cover with anniversaries. I plan to come back to David I, The Canmores, Macbeth AND James IV, but I always look to see anniversaries and I always find things that I think: 'Oooo, that's interesting.'
1. Thank you. Fun video...one of the best ways to teach history. 2. That whole “James”...thing at least they weren’t “Roberts.” 3. What happened to baby brother James? 4. I really hope you get a BBC Scottish history series. There is so much information out there that people are simply unaware of. It is people like you that shine the light of knowledge on the darkness of our ignorance.
Thank you for a little bit of history definitely a place I would love to go and see. Mostly because James iv iron belt Stewart as he was known was my 15th great grandfather 🤣😂🤣 I know crazy right lol and yes Margaret Tudor was my 15th great grandmother. Although I don’t think it was like anyone thinks they were just living their lives and maybe we shouldn’t be so judgey as we were not there 🧐
@arkfounder7056 not too far fetched. Just found out he's my 15th GGF. Robert Bruce is my 22nd GGF too. Lol. John of Gaunt Plantagenet is 19th GGF. This on my Grandma's Mom's side. On my Grandmas Dad side its all of the English of the York Kings (Plantagenet). D irect line Great (x many) Grandfathers too. Then through Lady Janet Stewart Fleming (15th GGM) , who had a son with King Henri II of France, related to the French Royalty. Doesn't mean anything but still cool.
You're a great story teller! I was looking to hear about King James IV because I recently discovered he made my great-something grandfather James Henderson into the Baron of Fordell. (Yet another James, haha!) My great something grandfather and his son were both killed at the Battle of Flodden Field. Do you know anything about that battle? I'd like to hear about it. EDIT: Hah! Never mind. Just found your video about Flodden Field.
Great video! I had a movie going through my head during the whole story! No problem following the Jameses either. I initially wanted to reminded about the Stewart line and where James VI came in (not that I thought he was great .... by ANY means.)
Interested ... it my family history. You're talking about my lineage of royal grandfathers, as my grandfather William Charles Stuart was thee last living direct descendant of the Stuart dynasty.
I was drawn to this video because i did some digging through my family tree, and evidently James IV was my 10th great grandfather. Janet fleming, one of his illegitimate children was my 9th great grandmother. Keep up the cool videos man!
He’s my 15th Great Grandfather I found it last night on Ancestry.com this is so cool. My 14th great grandmother was Princess Jeanette Stuart. Lady Fleming. I’m from Kentucky near Cincinnati Ohio but I live in West Texas U.S specifically Lubbock Texas. Nice meeting you cousin.
@@3xt1Collatzmy ex husband family's from Houston. Was told they were descendants of the stuarts monarch. It was in the 90s I didn't know much about it.
Not just the castle, you have the Old Town Jail, which you should cover, as the staff are wonderful, plus one of the best hostels in Scotland, almost next door.
You made me lol with "if by now you don't think James III is a bit of a dick I've no been telling the story right." You have made all of the James make a bit more sense to me now. I just recently learned about Berwick-on-Tweed, i think from watching you. I drove to North Berwick in 2017. Such a beautiful little place, lovely beach! Almost made it to Berwick-on-Tweed but it was getting dark and I chickened out. Had to get back to Kirkleston. Driving in Scotland for only a week at that point. I visited Scotland in 2016, 17 and 18. I am positively having withdrawal, can't wait to get back❣
Another fantastic and informative video Bruce thanks. As I told you my Grandfather William McKilligan RSM ASH was based at Stirling Castle and half of his ashes were scattered in the Queen Anne Garden. I would say it was the by far the best Castle in the Kingdom ❤
Oh man seeing this made me miss Edinburgh and the surrounding area! Been there a couple years ago during the Fringe and it made me fall in love with Scotland... hopeful I'll get to meet you there next time I'm around!
Hey Bruce! I’m glad I recently discovered your videos, keep up the good work. If you haven’t already, would you do a video on the quirky Berwick/Crimean War story? According to my “research” aka Google search, I’m curious is it true Berwick was indeed still at war with Russia until 1966?! Sounds like quite an fascinating story worth exploring further. :)
Ooh I know about berwick, berwick declared war separately but on signing the peace treaty someone working for Victoria forgot to include it so technically was still at war
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I rememberthis ,back in the day, when Kruschev was visiting Britain, and apparently he insisted on signing a peace treaty with berwick , after which he was repoted to have said that now the USSR could sleep safe in their beds at night. I always thought after that ,that Nikita Kruschev was not the tyrant we all thought he was.
James the next of kin became the next king haha! I sympathise with all those James'. I'm George, my grandad is George, his dad is George, my uncle is George and my cousins are George.
King James “Iron-Belt” Stewart is my 16th great-grandfather. Through his mistress Janet (Jeanette) “The Beautiful Scotswoman” Stuart. Can I have more info on her??
cams_story // I had some family move to New Zealand and then branched off by some moving to Aus. Wouldn’t know who they would be now though as this was a few generations ago.
I’ve heard that Scots hate when people say this but James the IV is my 13th great grandfather (proven DNA connection). I’m sure there are thousands of us out here. 👍🏼
@@ScotlandHistoryTours And 99% of those people don't show the tracing, making it harder for me to believe them, people claim John Knox is my ancestor, but I need to trace that on if that is the case, before automatically saying he's my ancestor, I don't trust these people.
Aye, I take it you're from across the pond. Here wpe say that we're all Jock Tamson`s bairns. We all come from the same father and nobody is above anyone
I read a book by Peter Reese going into some detail about this battle. To me it seems the Scots should have won but James IV sort of fell in love with his artillery which wasn't as effective as he thought and poor training. He had the numbers but like ancient the ancient 300 at Thermopylae..well you know the rest. On a side note me and the lassie are making a trip next August out that way. Hope to at least bump into you and buy you a dram or two.
Dude, my brother's name is James, and so is mine, but I was adopted. My biological name is James Donald Smith III. Putting the pieces together? It was intentional for secret purposes.
Statistically it's quite likely that we're related to key people from the past if you go back enough generations. You'll be related to hundreds of thousands of people from back then, so why not James IV?
How is your last name Scottish? Doesn't sound Scottish to me. I've been to Scotland twice and Belfast. I've never heard your lad name at all. I'm from Tennessee in America. Please explain in a video.
Have you done a video on Saint Margaret of Scotland, the Pearl of Scotland? Wife of Malcolm III. Anyway, she dies in 1093, is made a saint, end of story? No, in 1560, Mary Queen of Scots orders her head to be brought to Edinburgh Castle as a relic to assist her in childbirth. People' story usually ends with their death, Saint Margaret's head is lost, but if her head were to be found?
King James IV is my 15th Great Grandfather. Jeanette Stuart was my 14th Great Grandmother. She was his illegitimate daughter. But she was legitimized by Marry Queen of Scot’s later on so Jeanette was made a legitimate princess. She later went on and became a mistress to Henri II King of France. She had a son with him. I grew up in Florence Kentucky in the U.S I didn’t know all this till last night I’ve been doing my Ancestry.com I seen Princess Jeanette I thought maybe it was a small monarchy in GB then I kept going on and found King James IV. 😲😲😲
😄😄No, I meant the Scottish family. I just noticed there's a string of genealogists developing that I hadn't noticed. For some reason your comment popped to the surface. It's nice to see folk making connections
Not sure I understand the question. You may be talking about the King James bible, That was VI, but the bible had been translated into English before that as well.
Why is it that people always claim to be related to all these famous people from Scottish history. Why is it they are never just related to jack Wilson the guy who used shovel aall the horse shit in Aberdeen High Street in the 1800's?

@@moteeisrael3885 He was white. Seriously. If he were black, it would have shown up in his descendants, it did not. On top of that, Britain was pretty damned white at the time and pretty well picky about those things. James IVs descendants are white, except for when descendants have mixed with blacks (he is my many greats grandfather twice over and a cousin too). A lot of this hubbub is based on the fact that he looks black in a couple paintings. 1. It is likely that the painter of said portaits never even laid eyes on King James. Also, propaganda was a big thing so making a painting of him looking black would have made those who saw it question his suitability for the throne (because sadly people thought like that). If you want to talk of the super curly hair it is a very very common trait in Scotland. Also, the skin tone of paintings do deriorate over time due to dust and dirt etc, so the skin tone can look darker than it originally was, if the painting is restored the lighter skin tone may show. So, No James VI was not black. If you want to say he was Moorish, moorish is not black, it is middle eastern, Arabic. I know many historians who want to make all historical figures black like to ignore that middle eastern/Arabic people exist which is a shame steals the history of a great people. There are pleanty of great black people in history, who ARE black (see Saint Nicholas), I don't understand why people are trying to make people who are white black all of a sudden.
I think you twist things about but I do like your video's. Not trying to insult you but I want to know the truth of things, I can be corrected. You seem to know more than me.. some of what you say comes from your own opinions. Please help me in my understanding.

@@ScotlandHistoryTours I was expecting this because all the great black man back then,now they are all white man
@@moteeisrael3885 He was white. Seriously. If he were black, it would have shown up in his descendants, it did not. On top of that, Britain was pretty damned white at the time and pretty well picky about those things.
James IVs descendants are white, except for when descendants have mixed with blacks (he is my many greats grandfather twice over and a cousin too). A lot of this hubbub is based on the fact that he looks black in a couple paintings.
1. It is likely that the painter of said portaits never even laid eyes on King James. Also, propaganda was a big thing so making a painting of him looking black would have made those who saw it question his suitability for the throne (because sadly people thought like that).
If you want to talk of the super curly hair it is a very very common trait in Scotland. Also, the skin tone of paintings do deriorate over time due to dust and dirt etc, so the skin tone can look darker than it originally was, if the painting is restored the lighter skin tone may show. So, No James VI was not black.
If you want to say he was Moorish, moorish is not black, it is middle eastern, Arabic. I know many historians who want to make all historical figures black like to ignore that middle eastern/Arabic people exist which is a shame steals the history of a great people. There are pleanty of great black people in history, who ARE black (see Saint Nicholas), I don't understand why people are trying to make people who are white black all of a sudden.
I think you twist things about but I do like your video's. Not trying to insult you but I want to know the truth of things, I can be corrected. You seem to know more than me.. some of what you say comes from your own opinions. Please help me in my understanding.
Thanks for explaining this wacky James history. Yikes!
Stop ur mouthpiece
