He was brave and crafty, keen instatesmanship, and dissolute in pleasure.
His first wife had given him no heirs; so at her death he soughtout a princess whom he pursued all the more ardently because shewas also courted by the burly Henry VIII. Of England. This girlwas Marie of Lorraine, daughter of the Duc de Guise. She was fitto be the mother of a lion's brood, for she was above six feet inheight and of proportions so ample as to excite the admiration ofthe royal voluptuary who sat upon the th...rone of England.
"I am big, " said he, "and I want a wife who is as big as I am. " But James of Scotland wooed in person, and not by embassies, andhe triumphantly carried off his strapping princess. Henry ofEngland gnawed his beard in vain; and, though in time he foundconsolation in another woman's arms, he viewed James not only as apublic but as a private enemy.
There was war between the two countries. First the Scots repelledan English army; but soon they were themselves disgracefullydefeated at Solway Moss by a force much their inferior in numbers.
