Today, I am once again joined by the fabulous Dr. Linda Porter to discuss two queens consort - Madeleine of Valois and Marie of Guise.

Madeleine of Valois was the first wife of King James V of Scotland. Their marriage was arranged as part of a political alliance between Scotland and France. However, Madeleine's time as queen was tragically short-lived – she died just six months after their marriage, leaving James heartbroken.

Mary of Guise was James V's second wife and the mother of his successor, Mary, Queen of Scots. She was a noblewoman from a powerful French family who had extensive political and diplomatic experience. Mary of Guise played a crucial role in protecting her young daughter's throne.
