Who became regent of Scotland after James V's death?
James Hamilton
John Stewart
Patrick Hamilton
Alexander Cunningham
Answer
The answer is James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran. Upon the death of James V in December 1542, he served as regent for the infant Mary, Queen of Scots, until she reached adulthood or married a Scottish nobleman. Arran struggled to maintain control of the fractious Scottish nobility and faced challenges from those who favored alternative candidates for the regency or an English marriage for Mary.
