Definition of margaret tudor in English English dictionary

born Nov. 29, 1489, London, Eng. died Oct. 18, 1541, Methven, Perth, Scot. Queen consort of King James IV of Scotland (1503-13). The daughter of King Henry VII of England, she was married to James to improve relations between England and Scotland. After her husband's death (1513), she became regent for her son, James V (1512-1542). When she married the pro-English earl of Angus (1514), she was forced to give up the regency, but she played a key role in the conflict between the pro-French and pro-English factions in Scotland, shifting her allegiances to suit her financial interests. She obtained an annulment from Angus (1527) to marry Henry Stewart, Baron Methven, who became James's chief adviser
