During the war between Scotland and England now known as the Rough Wooing, James Stewart wrote letters to Mary of Guise and to English commanders including Thomas Wharton. He was a kinsman and supporter of the Earl of Lennox. In October 1543 seven ships arrived at Dumbarton Castle and James Stewart of Cardonald was appointed to escort Jacques de la Brosse and the lawyer, Jacques Ménage, seigneur de Caigny. Stewart wrote to Cardinal Beaton that these envoys were, "na grett personages" who had brought, "sellvar and artellyery monesyzonis pekes and halberdes." During the war of the Rough Wooing he sent news to England, describing the building in April 1547 of new spur fortifications at Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle. He was captain of the guard for Mary, Queen of Scots in 1561. On 18 January 1565 he was attacked and injured on the High Street of Edinburgh by three members of the Hume family. He died in 1584. (en)
