Which English Writer Believes She Is The Reincarnation Of The Scottish King James IV?

A. J. Stewart. Born Ada Kay in 1929, she worked as a dramatist for the BBC in London before finding herself increasingly drawn to Scotland. When visiting certain Scottish locales for the first time, she claimed to feel that they were familiar in some way, as if she had been there before. From her early childhood, she had had strange dreams, featuring scenes from medieval court life and, gradually, it dawned on her that these were memories of a former life.

Stewart, a name she acquired through marriage, took up residence in Scotland permanently and became intensely patriotic. She wrote a number of books, presenting them as autobiographies of King James IV, including "Falcon – The Autobiography of His Grace James the IV King of Scots" and "Died 1513 – Born 1929," recalling her life as it was then and correcting some of the mistakes she claimed had been made by historians.
