Mary, daughter of King James V, became Queen of Scotland at just one weekold in 1542. A Roman Catholic, when she became an adult she attempted torule her mostly Protestand country, but court intrigues caused he to fleeto England. There s h e became involved in plots to unseat her cousin,Queen Elizabeth I. Though Mary maintained her innocence, a court foundher guilty. She was beheaded in 1587. Mary Queen of Scots
(Mary Stuart), 1542-1587, only child of James V of Scotland and MaryofGuise. Through her grandmother Margaret Tudor, Mary had thestrongestclaim to the throne of England after the children of Henry VIII.Thisclaim (and her Roman Catholici sm ) made Mary a threat to Elizabeth IofEngland, who finally had her executed. However, Mary de heraparticularly romantic figure in history. She is the subject of Schiller Early Life Born at Linlithgow in Dec., 1542, Mary became queen ofScotla nd on thedeath of her father only 6 days later. Mary of Guisebetrothed herdaughter to the French dauphin (later Francis II) and sentthe girl toFrance in 1548 to be b rought up by her powerful relatives theGuisefamily. In 1558, Mary and Fran cis were married under an agreementthatwould unite the crowns of Scotland and France if the union producedmaleissue. At the same time Mary signed a secret contract thatbequeathedScotland to France should she die without issue. The youngcoup le wascrowned in 1559, but Francis died the following year. Theaccession ofCharles IX in France led to the fall of Mary with the recentdeath of her own mother, promptedMary to return to Scotland in 1561. 2 Asa Frenchwoman and a Catholic, Ma ry faced a nation of hostile subjects,buther charm and beauty quickly won over many lords and commoners. Shetookas h er principal counselors her illegitimate half brother JamesStuart(later earl of Murray) and William Maitland, both friends ofEngland, thusdispelling fears of a return of French interference inScottish affairs.She also accepted the establ ishment of the PresbyterianChurch and, underpressure from John Knox and his associates, consentedto certain lawsagainst Catho lics. She refused, however, to abandon theMass in her ownchapel or to approve a law for compulsory attendance at Protestantservices. 3 Darnley and Bothwell Mary arnley, whose descent from Margaret Tudor gavehim a claim to theEnglish throne almost as close as Mary Thoughinfatuated with him at first, Mary soon came to dislike herhusband andconsistently refused his demands for the crown matrimonial(i.e.,parliamentary assurance of power during her lifetime and after).Chagrinedat his own lack of pow er and jealous of David Rizzio, anItalian musicianwho had become Mary Rizzio, perhaps hoping that the shock would provefatal to the pregnantqueen. Mary talked Darnley over to her side, escapedto Dunbar to bejoined by the earl of Bothwell and other loyal nobles, andso defeatedthe coup. 5 In June, 1566, Mary bore her son, James. Accordingto tradition, aboutthis time she fell in love with Bothwell, who had beenconsistently loyalto her. Darnley, meanwhile, had succeeded in makinghimself ever moreunpopular, and all the royal counselors urged M ary toget rid of him. Onthe night of Feb. 9, 1567, the house in which Darnleywas staying wasblown up, and Darnley was found strangled outside.Bothwell wasu niversally suspected of the murder, but was acquitted by apacked court.On Apr. 24 , Mary was intercepted by Bothwell on her way toEdinburgh andcarried off to Dunbar Castle. In the ensuing two weeksBothwell secured adivorce from his wife, an d on May 15 he and Mary weremarried byProtestant rites. 6 Aroused by outraged P rotestant preachers,the Scots rebelled. Mary hadlost the support of the people and the lords,first by her failure topunish the man believed to be her husband de r tothe rebelsat Carberry Hill on June 15. Bothwell escaped, only to dieinsane in aDanish prison. Imprisoned at the castle of Lochleven, Maryabdicated infavor of her son and named Murray regent. In May, 1568, sheescaped andsoon accumu lated a considerable force of men. However, shewas defeatedby Murray at Langside, near Glasgow, and she immediately fledto NEngland. 7 Elizabeth ). At the inquiry Murray presented the famous CasketLetters,poems and letters allegedly written by M ary to Bothwell thatsupposedlyproved her share in the plot against Darnley. Mary insistedthat parts ofthe letters were forgeries, and the available evidencesuggests that thiswas the case. In any event, the judgment was that theabdication an dMurray he English government, living for the next 16yearsin the lenient custody of the earl of Shrewsbury and then underthestricter surveillance of Sir Amias Paulet. She schemed ceaselesslytoregain her liberty and was party to a succession of p lots that wouldhaveraised her to the English throne with the help of a Catholic uprisinganda Spanish invasion. The uncovering of such plots, real and alleged,someinvolving important English nobles in schemes to murder Elizabeth,ledPar li ament to clamor for Mary her trialMary defended herself witheloquence and dignity, but there was no doubtof her complicity. Elizabethhesitated to sign the death warrant, butafter assurance from James inScotland that he would not interfer e, andunder great pressur e from hercounselors, she reluctantly consented. Marywas beheaded at Fotheringay onFeb. 8, 1587. 10 Bibliography See biographies by T. F. Henderson (1905, repr. 1969) andA. Fraser(1969, repr. 1984); studies by G. M . Thomson (1967) and I.

Reigned 1542-1587 Deposed 1567 spent 19 yrs in prison BIOGRAPHY: Just one week old when she came to the throne of Scotland, itwas obvious a Regent would have to be appointed to rule in her name. Thenext in line to the throne, the Earl of Arran was designated thisposition. In keeping with th e political marriages that were common placein this era it was Arran who agreed to the betrothal of a seven month oldMary to Henry VIII's son, Edward. The marriage was not to take placeuntil Mary had reached the ripe old age of 11. This betrothal was notmuch more than a peace treaty between the two nations. Arran wasProtestant in his religion and it was this religious leaning whi ch led tothe Catholics snatching away the infant Mary, crowning her Queen ofScotland and de nouncing the betrothal. This act infuriated Henry andEngland savagely attacked Scotland. The Scots became increasingly splitbetween the pro-English, Protestant, camp and the pro-French, Catholic,faction. Upon the coronation of Edward as King Edward VI the Englishoccupied Scotland. Mary fled to France where she married the Dauphin 11years later. So it was that the Queen of Scots married into the Frenchmonarchy rather than the English. Mary's mother, Marie of Guise Lorrai nereplaced Arran as Regent and with French support drove the English out ofScotland. Scotland now stood as a French colony. Mary returned to anincreasing ly Protestant Scotland at the age of 18. She led a fascinatinglife. She was married to her cousin, Lord Darnley. Upon discovering hispenchant for affairs she had him murdered. She then married his murderer,the Earl of Bothwell. This led to her downfall as the Scottish peoplewould not accept Bothwell as King. She was th erefore forced to abdicatein favour of her only son, James. This was a turning point in thefortunes of Britain as James was to be the first ruler of both Engla ndand Scotland.
