PEDIGREES FROM THE PAST 
Family Tree of King James I and VI of England and Scotland

This pedigree was painted by an unknown artist c.1603.

“Painted genealogy showing James I’s Tudor ancestry. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, James’ mother, is shown in the center of the second row, holding hands to signify marriage first with Francis II and secondly with Lord Darnley, father of James. Beneath Mary to her right are her parents, James V of Scotland and Mary of Guise. Beneath Darnley are his parents Lady Margaret Douglas and Matthew Stewart, Earl of Lennox. Mary and Darnley share a grandmother, Margaret Tudor in the center of the fourth row, Henry VII’s eldest daughter. She first married James IV of Scotland (to her left) and became mother of James V and then married Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus. On the bottom row are the founders of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII (of Lancaster) and Elizabeth of York.”

RESEARCH NOTE: Even though this painting was made over 400 years ago, it isn’t that different from the pedigrees with photographs we print from our genealogy programs today. People like to see what their ancestors looked like, if it is at all possible.
