Although James's sister, Mary, was at first unwilling to marry Thomas Boyd, she eventually learned to love him. When Thomas was sent to the Danish court, Mary discovered a talent for diplomacy. In exchange for Princess Margaret of Denmark marrying her brother, she persuaded the Danes to hand over the islands of Orkney and Shetland to Scottish dominion.
