To which king was the queen who Sewallis Shirley died serving married?
Sewallis Shirley (1709–1765) Sewallis Shirley (19 October 1709 – 31 October 1765) was a British Member of Parliament. The fourteenth son of Robert Shirley, 1st Earl Ferrers (and fourth son by his second wife, Selina), he represented Brackley and Callington in the latter part of the reign of George II. His marriage to the Dowager Countess of Orford ended in divorce after three years, and Shirley spent the last few years of his life as an officer of Queen Charlotte's household.
James II of Scotland James II (16 October 1430 – 3 August 1460), who reigned as king of Scots from 1437 on, was the son of James I and Joan Beaufort. Nothing is known of his early life, but by his first birthday his twin and only brother, Alexander, who was also the older twin, had died, thus making James the heir apparent and Duke of Rothesay. On 21 February 1437, James I was assassinated and the six-year-old Duke of Rothesay immediately succeeded him as James II.
