William Hughes Rymer was born in the beautiful Greasy Creek Valley of the mountain section of Polk County on September 28, 1857 the son of Eli and Mary Kerr Rymer. He surrendered his life to God and confessed Christ at the early age of sixteen years, and spent his early manhood as a Baptist layman. On July 17, 1879 he was married to Allie Josephine Lemmons. The call to ministry came to him in his thirty-seventh year at the Zion Baptist Church. It has been said of him, "No more loyal and active minister ever served the people than did Rev. Bill Rymer." It was said that he performed more marriages ceremonies, preached more funerals, and witnessed more conversions than any one man in Polk County.

James was 17 months old when he succeeded to the throne of his father, James IV (ruled 1488-1513). In the power struggle that developed between the pro-French regent, John Stewart, duke of Albany, and the head of the English party, Archibald Douglas, earl of Angus, each side sought to gain possession of the young ruler. James’s mother, Margaret Tudor, complicated events by shifting her allegiance from her husband, Angus, to Albany.

Albany retired to France in 1524, and Angus kept James in confinement from 1526 until 1528, when the king escaped and forced Angus to flee to England. By 1530 James had consolidated his power in Scotland. He signed a treaty with his uncle, King Henry VIII of England, in 1534, but in 1538 he married the French noblewoman Mary of Lorraine and thereafter allied with France against England. A cruel man, he instituted in his later years a near reign of terror in Scotland, and his financial exactions did not endear him to his subjects.

When Henry VIII’s forces attacked Scotland in 1542, James’s small army, weakened by the disaffection of the Protestant nobles, crossed into England and was easily routed near the border at Solway Moss on Nov. 24, 1542. The disaster caused the king to suffer a mental breakdown; he died on Dec. 14, 1542, a week after the birth of his daughter—his only surviving legitimate child - Mary Stuart (Mary, Queen of Scots). Among his several illegitimate children was James, earl of Moray (died 1570), who became regent of Scotland when Mary Stuart abdicated her throne in 1567.

James was son of King James IV of Scotland and his wife Margaret Tudor, a daughter of Henry VII of England, and was the only legitimate child of James IV to survive infancy. He was born on 10 April 1512 at Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgowshire and baptized the following day, receiving the titles Duke of Rothesay and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.[1] He became king at just seventeen months old when his father was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field on 9 September 1513.

James was crowned in the Chapel Royal at Stirling Castle on 21 September 1513. During his childhood the country was ruled by regents, first by his mother, until she remarried the following year, and then by John Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany, next in line to the Crown after James and his younger brother, the posthumously-born Alexander Stewart, Duke of Ross. Other regents included Robert Maxwell, 5th Lord Maxwell, a member of the Council of Regency who was also bestowed as Regent of Arran, the largest island in the Firth of Clyde. In February 1517 James came from Stirling to Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, but during an outbreak of plague in the city he was moved to the care of Antoine d'Arces at nearby rural Craigmillar Castle. At Stirling, the 10-year-old James had a guard of 20 footmen dressed in his colours, red and yellow. When he went to the park below the Castle, "by secret and in right fair and soft wedder (weather)," six horsemen would scour the countryside two miles roundabout for intruders. Poets wrote their own nursery rhymes for James and advised him on royal behavior.

Scottish and English Monarch. Born in Edinburgh, he was the only child of Mary, Queen of Scots and Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, who was murdered before James was a year old. James grew up under the guidance of nannies and tutors, most notably the poet, dramatist, and humanist George Buchanan. Though his formative years were spent surrounded by incompetence, intrigue and violence, he was a devoted scholar, theologian, and writer. He published such works as "Demonologie", "The True Law of Free Monarchies", and "Basilikon Doron". James ascended to the throne of Scotland in 1567, when his mother abdicated. He was crowned on July 29 at Stirling Castle, and ruled under a regency until he turned 19. He married Anne of Denmark on November 23, 1589, and they had eight children; only three survived childhood. He was named the heir to the English throne by his cousin Queen Elizabeth I, and became James I of England upon her death. He was crowned at Westminster Abbey on July 25, 1603. James was now the king of two countries who, for the most part, couldn't stand one another. He had ruled Scotland for 29 years, but that did little to prepare him for the English throne. He was an intelligent, scholarly man, but his English subjects found him rough-hewn, paranoid, and slightly backward. Both he and the queen had extravagent spending habits and James largely ignored the nobility and parliament. His reign was beset with religious unrest, leading to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and the Puritans leaving for America in 1620. A staunch Scottish protestant, James believed that the Bible should be readily available to the masses, and in 1611 commissioned a new authorized translation and printing, now known as the King James Version. Though James came to the English throne at the height of monarchical power, he never fully grasped the scope of that power. He was not a wholly unsuccessful ruler, but his Scottish background never translated well into English society. The king died of a stroke at Westminster Abbey at the age of 59. He was referred to by one writer as "the very wisest fool in Christendom." (bio by: Kristen Conrad)

Individuals : Stewart James II
James II (Middle Scots: Iames Stewart; 16 October 1430 -– 3 August 1460), who reigned as king of Scots from 1437 on, was the son of James I and Joan Beaufort. Nothing is known of his early life, but by his first birthday his twin and only brother, Alexander, who was also the older twin, had died, thus making James the heir apparent and Duke of Rothesay. On 21 February 1437, James I was assassinated and the six-year-old Duke of Rothesay immediately succeeded him as James II.

In 1449, nineteen-year-old James married fifteen-year-old Mary of Guelders, daughter of the Duke of Gelderland. She bore him seven children, six of whom survived into adulthood. Subsequently, the relations between Flanders and Scotland improved. James's nickname, Fiery Face, referred to a conspicuous vermilion birthmark on his face which appears to have been deemed by contemporaries an outward sign of a fiery temper.[1]

James was a politic, and singularly successful king. He was popular with the commoners, with whom, like most of the Stewarts, he socialised often, in times of peace and war.[citation needed] His legislation has a markedly popular character. He does not appear to have inherited his father's taste for literature, which was "inherited" by at least two of his sisters; but the foundation of the University of Glasgow during his reign, by Bishop Turnbull, shows that he encouraged learning; and there are also traces of his endowments to St. Salvator's, the new college of Archbishop Kennedy at St Andrews. He possessed much of his father's restless energy. However, his murder of the Earl of Douglas leaves a stain on his reign

Scottish monarch. Called "Fiery Face" because of a red birthmark on his face, he was the son of James I and Joan Beaufort, and was crowned on March 25, 1437 at Holyrood Abbey, breaking the longstanding tradition of rulers crowned at Scone. He was only six when crowned, and Scotland was ruled by two regents, Lord Crichton and Lord Livingstone, both of whom fought for control of the country and the young king. During this regency Scotland was plunged into civil war, lawlessness, and poverty. When he finally came of age, the king reestablished control over the errant nobles and made examples of the troublemakers. He was able to bring order to his kingdom and rule in peace. He moved the capital to Edinburgh, which has not been challenged or changed since. James married Mary of Guelders on July 3, 1449 at Holyrood Abbey. They had six children. James was accidentally killed at Roxburgh Castle when he stood too close to an exploding cannon. He was 30 years old. (bio by: Kristen Conrad)

By the time he was eight, both of his elder brothers were dead—Robert had died in infancy but David, Duke of Rothesay died suspiciously in Falkland Castle while being detained by his uncle, Robert, Duke of Albany. Although parliament exonerated Albany, fears for James's safety grew during the winter of 1405–1406 and plans were made to send him to France. In February 1406, James was accompanying nobles close to his father when they clashed with supporters of Archibald, 4th Earl of Douglas, forcing the prince to take refuge in the castle of the Bass Rock, a small islet in the Firth of Forth. He remained there until mid-March, when he boarded a vessel bound for France, but on 22 March while off the English coast, pirates captured the ship and delivered James to Henry IV of England. Two weeks later, on 4 April the ailing Robert III died, and the 12-year-old uncrowned King of Scots began his 18-year detention.

Scottish monarch. Son of Robert III and Annabella Drummond. He reigned 1406-1437, though from 1406 til 1424, he was king in name only. When his father sent him away as a child for his own protection, he was captured by the English and held in the Tower of London for 18 years. During his imprisonment, he fell in love with Joan Beaufort, and the two were married on February 2, 1424 in Southwark. They had 8 children together. James returned to Scotland to find his country in chaos. He was formally crowned on May 21, 1424 at Scone. He took immediate action to regain his authority and control, including executing the Albany family, his fiercest opponents. He ruled with a firm hand, achieving numerous legal and financial reforms, including remodeling the Scottish parliament after its English counterpart, and renewing the Auld Alliance with France. His actions, although very effective, upset many, namely the descendents of his grandfather, Robert II's second marriage (James was descended from the first marriage). Conflict arose between the two factions over who should be on the throne. The problems came to a head when James was murdered by his uncle Walter, Earl of Athol, at Friars Preachers Monastery in Perth. The king was 42.

She is said to have been the inspiration for James's famous long poem, The Kingis Quair, written during his captivity after he saw her from his window in the garden. However, the marriage was at least partially political as their marriage was part of the agreement for his release from captivity, and from an English perspective an alliance with the Beauforts was meant to establish his country's alliance with the English, rather than the French.

Robert II, also called (until 1371) Robert the Steward, or (1357–71) Robert Stewart, Earl of Strathearn (born March 2, 1316—died April 19, 1390, Dundonald, Ayrshire, Scot.), king of Scots from 1371, first of the Stewart (Stuart) sovereigns in Scotland. Heir presumptive for more than 50 years, he had little effect on Scottish political and military affairs when he finally acceded to the throne.

On the death (1326) of his father, Walter the Steward, in 1326, Robert became seventh hereditary steward of Scotland at age 10. From 1318 he was heir presumptive to his maternal grandfather, King Robert I the Bruce (died 1329). He lost this position in 1324 when the Bruce’s son, afterward King David II, was born; but two years later the Scottish Parliament confirmed Robert the Steward as heir apparent to David.

During David’s periods of exile and of imprisonment by the English, Robert the Steward was joint regent (1334–35; with John Randolph, 3rd earl of Moray) and sole regent (1338–41, 1346–57). After David had been ransomed from the English, Robert led an unsuccessful rebellion (1362–63). He succeeded in defending his own right as heir apparent against David’s abortive proposal to commute his remaining ransom payments to the English by making a son of King Edward III of England heir to the Scottish throne.

On the death of David (Feb. 22, 1371), Robert succeeded to the throne, his reign proving largely an anticlimax to his career. He took no active part in the renewed war with England (from 1378 to 1388). From 1384 the kingdom was administered by Robert’s eldest son, John, earl of Carrick (afterward King Robert III), and from 1388, by his next surviving son, Robert, earl of Fife (afterward 1st duke of Albany).
bert’s eldest son, John, earl of Carrick
Robert’s marriage (c. 1348) to Elizabeth Mure followed the birth of their four sons and five daughters, whose legitimation by the subsequent marriage did not give any of them an undisputed right of succession to the crown. A superior claim was asserted on behalf of Robert’s two sons and two daughters by his second wife, Euphemia Ross, whom he married in 1355. Partly because of this dispute, Walter, earl of Atholl, one of Robert’s sons by Euphemia, instigated the murder (1437) of James I, king of Scots, grandson of Robert and Elizabeth Mure. Robert also had at least eight illegitimate sons. - www.britannica.com
