The Darnley Memorial
James's grandparents, the Lennox family, insisted that the child had a duty to revenge his father's murder. To spur him on, they commissioned a painting, The Darnley Memorial, of his father's tomb, with the details of his murder carved in relief. Before it the young James and the Lennox family pray for revenge, while a wall plaque bids the young king to remember his father's murder until God appoints the time for him as His scourge to avenge it.
