  4. Shortly before you period begins, Richard III was killed by the usurper, Henry Tudor, at the battle of Bosworth in 1585. Henry took the throne as Henry VII.

    King James III of Scotland was either killed shortly before, or during, battle of Sauchieburn on June 11, 1488. He was followed by his son, James IV, who married Henry VII's elder daughter, Margaret.

    James IV was killed at the battle of Flodden Field on September 9, by an army under control of the English Queen, Catherine of Aragon. His son James V, only a year old, followed him as King of Scotland.

    Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII, was executed under almost certainly false charge of adultery and incest on 19th May 1536.

    Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife, was executed for adultery (probably true) on 13 February 1542.

    James V of Scotland died in December 1542, following defeat in the battle of Solway Moss, and was followed by his young daughter, Mary Queen of Scots.

    Lady Jane Grey took the throne after her first cousin once removed, Edward VI, died in 1553. She was the "9 day Queen". She was deposed by Edward's elder sister, Mary, who was the next in line under Henry VIII's will. She was imprisoned in the tower, and executed after another rebellion against Mary I, on 12th Feb. 1554.

    Charles I was executed on 30th January 1649, after he lost the Civil War with Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians.

    That was it in the 17th century in the UK, anyway. The rest died in their beds (-:

    Mary Queen of Scots was executed  on February 8, 1587 at Fotheringhay Castle, in England, following a trial for treason against Elizabeth I of England.
