James IV & James V: The Scottish Kings Who Kept the Tudors Awake at Night

James IV & James V: The Scottish Kings Who Kept the Tudors Awake at Night

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Steven Veerapen to explore the reigns of James IV and James V of Scotland—two kings whose decisions, alliances, and rivalries kept the Tudor court on edge.

We dig into James IV’s pivotal marriage to Margaret Tudor and James V’s marriage to Marie of Guise, and we unpack their often tense, competitive, and politically charged relationships with the English kings—from diplomatic brinkmanship to outright conflict.

It’s a lively, insightful conversation about power, politics, and the Tudor–Stewart connections that shaped the 16th century.
