First one out wins a crown. King James I of Scotland fathered twin boys. Alexander got out first and he was heir to the throne. James came out second and he was crown prince.

For less than a year. Alexander died in infancy because the fifteenth century really sucked, and James ascended to the throne at the age of six when dad was assassinated.
