King James II (1430 - 1460) was born in the abbey lodgings. He, together with King James III (1452 -1488), King James IV (1473 - 1513) and Queen Mary (1542 - 1587) were married in the abbey. King James V (1512 - 1542) and King Charles I (1600 - 1649) were crowned there and King David II (1324 - 1371), King James II, King James V and Lord Darnley (1545 - 1567) were buried there. However, like many other churches, the Abbey was seriously damaged during the reformation, and although it was restored and given a new roof (1758), this was poorly designed and collapsed in 1768 when the Abbey was abandoned.
