James II of Scotland

James II of Scotland (d. 1460)
James II (16 October 1430 – 3 August 1460) was King of Scots from 1437 until his death in 1460. The eldest surviving son of James I of Scotland, he succeeded to the Scottish throne at the age of six, following the assassination of his father. The first Scottish monarch not to be crowned at Scone, James II's coronation took place at Holyrood Abbey in March 1437. James II was known as Fiery Face, a reference to the vermilion birthmark covering the left side of his face, which was deemed by contemporaries as an outward sign of a fiery temper.
