Margaret&#8217;s dress of white damask and flowered with gold and bordered with red velvet would have cost nearly \u00a3100,000. After the marriage the guests were treated to a 15-course banquet. The marriage was to set the seal on the &#8220;Treaty of Everlasting Friendship&#8221; between Scotland and England, signed in 1502. In 1513, James IV was killed at the battle of Flodden, in the English county of Northumberland. But it was as a consequence of the marriage that the Union of the Crowns was to take place in 1603. The exhibition at Stirling will run from March 20 to May 20.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Thanks to Wendy for passing this along!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[Comments are closed on older posts.
