What Has Changed in the Last Century
The page gathers three New Testament Jameses, the Epistle of St James, and seven kings -- the five Scottish Jameses plus James VI and I -- and the bare facts of nearly all of them stand as Collier's set them down in 1921. Where the account slips is in detail: the French bride Francis I gave James V in 1537 was Madeleine of Valois, not Margaret, and it was James III's brother John, Earl of Mar, who died in custody while another brother, Alexander of Albany, fled abroad. Two of the eleven have grown rather than faded. James the son of Zebedee, noted here only as beheaded first among the apostles and "patron saint of Spain", now draws hundreds of thousands of walkers a year to Santiago de Compostela on a revived Camino, while the Epistle's authorship question that Collier's left open was reopened in public in 2002 by the so-called James Ossuary, inscribed "brother of Jesus", whose owner was tried for forgery and acquitted in 2012 with the inscription still disputed.
