~ Margaret Tudor's Death and the Destruction of Her Tomb ~
Margaret Tudor died on October 18, 1541. She'd been Queen of Scots for ten years (1503-1513) and then regent for her son, James V of Scotland, for two years. Though she'd been stricken with "palsy" a few days prior, Margaret had thought it was a minor ailment and hadn't made her will. It seems likely now that it was the signs of a stroke. When it became clear the end was approaching, she sent for her son, but he didn't arrive in time to day goodbye.
Margaret was the daughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, and thus the sister of the future King Henry VIII. At age fourteen, she was wed by proxy to the King of Scots. History records that her brother - then Prince Henry - threw a temper tantrum when he found out his sister now outranked him.
The next year, Margaret was sent northward to Scotland to live with her husband. Reportedly, her grandmother, Margaret Beaufort, was worried about this because she'd given birth herself at age thirteen and the trauma had damaged her young body. The new young queen didn't have her first baby for another four years, and though history doesn't record anything about it, it's assumed her husband delayed consummation to allow her to grow a little older.
Margaret's life in Scotland was tumultuous. Widowed in 1513, she remarried, only to find that her husband was a cad who spent her money keeping his mistresses in lavish style. Moreover, her marriage had cost her the regency and custody of her son. She appealed to the Pope for an annulment, an action which earned her chiding letters from her brother, Henry VIII, lecturing her on the sanctity of marriage.
In 1527, around the time Henry was attempting to get an annulment of his own so he could marry Anne Boleyn, Margaret was given her freedom. She remarried in 1528.
The rest of her life would be occupied with trying to fight back the growing Protestant faction in her country that was eroding her power and influence. She died in 1541.
Her son, King James V, reportedly gave her a magnificent funeral. As Agnes Strickland wrote, "He attended himself to lay her head in the grave," leading a grand procession himself of the court's great nobles to the Carthusian Charterhouse Abbey of St. John in Perth. Her coffin was placed in the vault of James I.
But Margaret's eternal rest did not last for long. On May 11, 1559, a Protestant mob, inflamed by that morning's sermon on idolatry, sacked Perth's monasteries. John Knox wrote of it in his History of the Reformation, calling it "The Kirk-Breaking at Perth."
"Immediately the whole multitude cast stones, and laid hands on the said tabernacle, and on all other monuments of idolatry. These they dispatched before the tenth part of the town s people were made aware, for the most part were gone to dinner. These deeds noised abroad, the whole multitude came together, not the gentlemen or those that were earnest professors [believers], but the rascal multitude.
"Finding nothing to do in that church, these ran without deliberation to the Grey and Black Friars, and, notwithstanding that these monasteries had within them very strong guards for their defense, their gates were forthwith burst open. Idolatry was the occasion of the first outburst, but thereafter the common people began to look for spoil. In very deed, the Grey Friars was so well provided that unless honest men had seen it, we would have feared to report what provision they had. Their sheets, blankets, beds, and coverlets were such that no Earl in Scotland had better; their napery [napkins] was fine.
[...]
"So had men's consciences before been beaten with the Word, that they had no respect to their own particular profit, but only to abolish idolatry, and the places and monuments thereof. In this they were so busy and so laborious that, within two days, these three great places, monuments of idolatry, to wit, the monasteries of the Grey and Black thieves and that of the Charter-house monks (a building of a wondrous cost and greatness) were so destroyed that only the walls remained."
Margaret's remains were pulled from the tomb and burned, the ashes "contemptuously scattered” writes Linda Porter. Agnes Strickland, however, wrote in the Victorian era that the remains had survived the mob, being "transferred to the east end of St John's Church. Queen Margaret's resting-place, with the other royal remains, is supposed to be under a large blue marble slab, carved in two compartments, with a royal crown of Scotland over each, adorned with fleur-de-lis." But that stone, if it ever existed, has long vanished. Today, nothing remains of the Charterhouse, only a memorial obelisk marking the spot where it once stood.
A few years ago, a group of scholars from Stirling University began a project to try to locate the tomb of James I. Like Richard III, the like spot is now under a car park. Digs are planned and one can always hope some shreds have survived.
