  England Under The Tudors: Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland (c. 1489-1541)
MARGARET TUDOR, QUEEN OF SCOTLAND, eldest daughter of Henry VII, king of England, by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV, was born at Westminster on the 29th of November 1489.
The whole of Margaret's life after her marriage with James IV was an unending series of intrigues, first with one political faction then with another; at one time in favour of her native country, at another in hostility to it, her conduct being mainly influenced at all times by considerations affecting her pocket.
Various projects for Margaret's remarriage had already been started, Louis XII of France and the emperor Maximilian being proposed as suitable husbands for the young widow, when the queen privately married Archibald Douglas, earl of Angus, on the 6th of August 1514.

Margaret Beaufort (born May 31, 1443 at the Kingston Lacy estate in Dorset – June 29, 1509) was the daughter of John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset and Margaret Beauchamp of Bletso.
Margaret's first marriage, to John de la Pole, took place in 1450, when she was still a child, but was annulled after a short time.

Margaret was dismissed from Mary's service, and thus she begged to remain, and pay for Mary to have a household from her own pockets, Mary was bundled off to serve herself in the household of the new "only" Princess in England, her baby half-sister, Elizabeth.

In one of his letters, he writes that Vittoria followed "the advice given her by the Cardinal [Pole] in whom she trusted as in an oracle." The conception of the prophet as oracle is a traditional association; predating even the Old Testament and hearkening back to classical Greek and Roman societies.

In the beginning, Margaret gains love through an arranged marriage, offers staunch friendship to Catherine of Aragon in her time of need (which later brings her that princess' unwavering support), and becomes one of the wealthiest and most influential women of the age.
Despite her brother's death as a traitor (his only crime being his blood proximity to the throne), Margaret shows herself no threat, and raises her children in relative comfort and happiness, even after her husband's death leaves her bereft and fending for herself at the age of 31.
Imprisoned in her old age by the enraged king and stripped of her wealth and status, Margaret suffers in ways hard to imagine in our more "civilized" century, until she dies on the block at the hands of a clumsy headsman, who hacks her to ribbons before felling the mortal blow.
