I seem to remember being told in primary school a story about a prince with an illness that meant he had a really long tongue. I seem to remember it had some connection to Mary Queen of Scots but can't find it in any search engines or Mary Queen of Scots sites. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It was James VI of Scotland who became James I of England after Queen Elizabeth I death in 1603. (?) He was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley. I believe he died in 1625.

If you scroll down this article, you will find a reference to it, though it doesn't seem to have been an illness, more an ugly feature- along with the rest of his face, apparently.
yes, see the blue panel on this page too. I believe he was known for slobbering - that would be why - but he was well educated, inclined to stay out of wars, and behind the translation of the King James Bible.
