Sounds like a plan

All amended

Page Turner:
Entry: James 1st, The First Stuart King of England - A87793960
Author: bobstafford - U3151547

Sorry, the first sentence should start 'James VI' not 'James IV'.

I think that we need a short sentence in the 'Path to the Throne of England' section to link James VI to Margaret. We've had Henry Tudor marry Elizabeth of York and have a daughter, Margaret, who was James V's wife and mother to James V. We need a short sentence to state that James V was succeeded by Mary Queen of Scots and James VI was her son.

Another bit to look at:

'Mary's forces were defeated, and this led to his mother’s flight from Scotland when he was just over a year old. She landed in Workington in Cumbria and was taken to Carlisle Castle where she was held.' Do you mean 'Mary's forces were defeated, and this led to her flight from Scotland when her son, the young James, was just over a year old. She landed in Workington in Cumbria and was taken to Carlisle Castle where she was held.'

Thanks please check the edit and see if that covers your suggestion

Why does Margaret have a separate paragraph within the bulleted list?

No real reason apart from being the one of the subjects of the entry
Changed as suggested it looks better

Did you want to change the sentence:
'Margaret, Queen of Scots, wife of King James IV and mother of King James V.'
to:
' Margaret, Queen of Scots, wife of King James IV, mother of King James V and grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots'

The next section states that James VI was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots – but you've not explained who Mary, Queen of Scots was or her relationship to Henry VII and how that meant James was heir to the throne of England.

I've read through and it is an enjoyable, historical entry.

Are you planning on finishing more Stuart ones?

I will defiantly held back as PR was slow now we have a blue bottle on the case they will arrive soon.

Please check the points raised in your last edit post have been dealt with please confirm all is ok

Yep, the Margaret section is much better and very informative.

Just think – James VI may have come to the English throne, but he never got to h2g2's front page
