Mary of Guelders (c. 1434 — 1 December 1463, Roxburgh Castle, Scotland) was the Queen Consort of Scotland. She is daughter of Arnold, Duke of Guelders and Catherine, eldest daughter of Adolph IV, Duke of Cleves. Mary married James II, King of Scots (1430 - 1460, reigned 1437 - 1460) at Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh (3 July 1449) and went on to bear him seven children. She acted as Regent for a time during the minority of their son James III of Scotland (1451/52 - 1488), her husband having died as the result of an accident at the age of only 30. Mary, a devout Christian, founded (c.1460) in memory of her husband Trinity College Church (on Edinburgh's Royal Mile), of which only the apse remains. She was buried in Trinity College Church, although her coffin was moved to Holyrood Abbey in 1848.
