Answer Margaret Tudor, born 28th November 1489, was a daughter of King Henry VII of England and his wife, Elizabeth of York. She was a sister of Henry VII's successor, King Henry VIII. On 8th August 1503, she married King James IV of Scotland. One of their children later became King James V of Sotland who in turn was the father of Mary Queen of Scots. King James IV died at the Battle of Flodden Field on 9th September 1513 when his successor, King James V, was only one year old. Margaret was appointed as Regent (a kind of royal deputy) until she re-married a year later. When Queen Elizabeth I of England died in 1603, the Scottish King James VI, son of Mary Queen of Scots, was next in line to the throne of England - he became simultaneously King James VI of Scotland and James I of England. In this way, Margaret Tudor's marriage led directly to the Union of the Crowns of England and Scotland.
