	James II of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		James II of Scotland (October 16 1430 – August 3 1460) was king of Scotland from 1437 to 1460.
		James was son of James I of Scotland and Joan Beaufort, daughter of John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset and Margaret Holland.
		But James' patronage of lands, titles and office to allies of the Douglases saw their allies begin to change sides, most tellingly the Earl of Crawford, and in 1455 James was finally able to make a decisive blow against the Douglases, and they were finally defeated at the battle of Arkinholm in May 1455.

		It is the first scholarly biography of James II, the ruler who more than any other Stewart monarch succeeded in overcoming illluck, early adversity, and major political crisis, to emerge as undisputed master of his kingdom in the last years of his short life.
