King James IV of Scotland's alliance with France against England brought him into conflict with the Tudor kings of England.      
In April 1513 an envoy from Henry VIII arrived at Stirling Castle to try to persuade James IV to abandon his alliance with France.      
He refused and five months later he lost the Battle of Flodden and his life.

Yet without that initial alliance with France, the English King would not have tried to strengthen his friendship with Scotland by the marriage of James IV to Margaret, daughter of Henry VII. Without that marriage, James VI of Scotland would not have succeeded to the throne of England - as James I.
