Stewart, the See also:knight of Lorne, See also:Livingstone obtained the custody of the See also:young king, whose minority was marked by fierce hostility between the bouglases and the Crichtons, with Livingstone first on one See also:side and then on the other. About 1443 the royal cause was espoused by William, 8th earl of Douglas, who attacked Crichton in the king's name, and See also:civil See also:war lasted until about 1446. In See also:July 1449 James was married to See also:Mary (d. 1463), daughter of See also:Arnold„ See also:duke of See also:Gelderland, and undertook the See also:government himself; and almost immediately Livingstone was arrested, but Douglas retained the royal favour for a few months more. In 1452, how-ever, this powerful earl was invited to See also:Stirling by the king, and, charged with treachery, was stabbed by James and then killed by the attendants. Civil war See also:broke out at once between James and the Douglases, who .e lands were ravaged; but after the Scots See also:parliament had exonerated the king, James, the new earl of Douglas, made his submission. See also:Early in 1455 this struggle was renewed. Marching against the rebels James gained several victories, after which Douglas was attainted and his lands forfeited. Fortified by this success and assured of the support of the parliament and of the See also:great nobles, James, acting as an See also:absolute king, could view without alarm the war which had broken out with See also:England. After two expeditions across the See also:borders, a truce was made in July 1457, and the king employed the See also:period of See also:peace in strengthening his authority in the High-lands. During the See also:Wars of the See also:Roses he showed his sympathy with the Lancastrian party after the defeat of See also:- HENRY
