King James I of Scotland (1394–1437)
James I., King of Scotland. Born at Dunfermline, Aug. 1?, 1394; assassinated near Perth, Feb. 20, 1437. His ‘Kingis Quair’ (King’s Booklet) is a didactic poem in imitation of Chaucer, and is in part an allegorical treatment of his courtship of Joan Beaufort, who became his queen. No other work can with so much assurance be ascribed to him.
