  Margaret Douglas
Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox (October 8, 1515 - March 7, 1578) was the daughter of Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus[?], and Margaret Tudor, (daughter of Henry VII of England and widow of James IV of Scotland)
Because of her nearness to the English crown, Lady Margaret Douglas was brought up chiefly at the English court in close association with the future queen Mary I of England, who remained her fast friend throughout life.
She was high in the favour of her cousin, King Henry VIII of England, but was twice disgraced; first for an attachment to Lord Thomas Howard, who died in the Tower of London in 1537, and again in 1541 for a similar affair with Sir Charles Howard, brother of Queen Catherine Howard.

 James V Of Scotland - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The regency was at first vested in his mother, but after Queen Margaret's second marriage, with Archibald Douglas, 6th earl of Angus, in August 1514, it was transferred by the estates to John Stewart, duke of Albany.
Henceforward the minority of James was disturbed by constant quarrels between a faction, generally favourable to England, under Angus, and the partisans of France under Albany; while the queen-mother and the nobles struggled to gain and to regain possession of the king's person.
In 1526 Angus obtained control of the king, and kept him in close confinement until 1528, when James, escaping from Edinburgh to Stirling, put vigorous measures in execution against the earl, and compelled him to flee to England.
