WI James V had a living son?

January 1st, 1537: King James V of Scotland marries Princess Madeline of France at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Present at the ceremony are Madeline's father, King Francis I of France; her brothers, the Dauphin Henry, with his wife Catherine, and Prince Charles; and her sister Princess Margaret.

Early May 1537: The King and Queen depart for Scotland. Madeline's health, never good, has worsened somewhat since her marriage, but the sixteen year old Queen is determined to keep her illness at bay for as long as possible; she is four months pregnant with James' child.

Good? Bad? Needs work? Please let me know.
 
Late May - September 1537: James and Madeline land in Scotland on May 19th and soon settle into Linlithgow Palace. Over the next four months the Queen keeps to her chambers, only rarely appearing in public. One such occasion is her coronation as Queen Consort of Scotland at Stirling Castle in June. The ceremony, while lavish, is not a huge affair.

Meanwhile, tensions with England are simmering. James has never forgiven his uncle, King Henry VIII, for his father's death at Flodden and is determined to keep Scotland out of English hands. Only the presence of Margaret Tudor, Henry's sister and James' mother, holds the two men to an uneasy truce. Henry adds fuel to the fire when he reportedly tells his courtiers, "James' daughter will marry my son,"; his third Queen, Jane Seymour, is also pregnant. James, livid on hearing this, retorts to the English Ambassador, "I much doubt my uncle is capable of producing a son," referencing the failures of Henry's two previous wives to give him a son.

It is an uneasy stalemate.
 
Good start so far. Even if Madeleine manages to give birth, I doubt she'll survive the experience, though.
 
Apologies for the long wait. Here's the next bit:

October 3rd, 1537: Madeline goes into labor around mid morning. James can only pace outside his wife's chambers as the hours drag by, praying - silently and desperately - that both wife and child will survive. His brother-in-law, the Earl of Lennox, waits with him. Night falls and still the two maintain their vigil.

Finally, just after midnight on October 4th, a baby's cry is heard in the corridors of Linlithgow Palace. The child is healthy - and a boy. Scotland has an heir, but will soon lose its Queen. Weakened by her illness and pregnancy, Madeline dies in the early morning hours of October 5th, only twenty four hours after her son's birth. The disconsolate King holds his wife's limp body in his arms and weeps.

That's it for now, but I do have a quick question. At that time, how long would it have taken letters from Scotland to reach France and vice versa?
