James came to the throne at the age of nine and was in the power of
the Scottish lords right from the outset. It whilst while under the self-serving influence of these nobles that his marriage to Margaret, daughter of King Christian of Denmark, Norway and Sweden was arranged. This arrangement led to the Orkney Islands, Western Isles and Shetland Islands being given to Scotland in the form of a dowry. After his marriage James displayed an excessive interest in male favorites, who were eventually hanged by the nobles before the King's eyes. He could not count on the loyalty of his brothers who he had thrown into prison. One, Duke Alexander of Albany, managed to escape and fled to England where Edward IV recognised him as King of Scotland. This led to the confederate lords attempting rebellion against James in 1488. James was defeated at the Battle of Sauchieburn. He was murdered after the battle by an assassin dressed in the garb of a priest, just outside Bannockburn.
It had been prophesied that he would be betrayed by his nearest kin and King James III had imprisoned his brothers as a result. However, it was his son James IV, who was brought by the rebel lords to the Battle of Sauchieburn, at the young age of fifteen.
