Unnamed Stewart

(Abt 1513 - Abt 1513)


==Biography==This unnamed daughter of [[Stewart-588|James IV, King of Scotland]] and his wife, [[Tudor-33|Margaret Tudor, Princess of England]] doesn't seem to appear in any of the official records, but is mentioned in an early history of Scotland by John Lesley, Bishop of Ross.
However her birth date is unclear, different versions of the text having different dates. In one she is born, baptised and died in 1513;:"Our quene is instantlie lychter of a bony barne, quhilk borne, baptiset, randirit to God the lyfe now receiuet.Leslie, John, ''The historie of Scotland wrytten first in latin by the most reuerend and worthy Jhone Leslie, Bishop of Rosse and translated in Scottish by Father James Dalrymple,'' vol, 2, edited by E.G.

In the other born and died in November 1512 at Edinburgh.

However her elder brother James, later James V was born in April 1512 and a November birth date would only be 7 months after his and it is more likely that it was later in 1512 or early in 1513 about half way between the births of James and her younger brother Alexander, born perhaps in April 1514.Dunbar, Sir Archibald H., ''Scottish Kings: A revised chronology of Scottish history 1005-1625,'' Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1899. pp. 219-220.
