The only surviving legitimate child of King James V. Mary, Queen of Scots was also known as Mary Stuart.
Mary Stuart was born in Linlithgow Palace in Scotland on 8th December 1542. She became Queen of Scotland when she was just six days old, and through her marriage to a French heir she became Queen of France when she was 16.
Mary was Elizabeth's cousin and an heir to the English throne through her Tudor grandmother, Margaret, Henry VIII's older sister. With the death of her husband, Francis II of France in 1560, and following the death of Mary of Guise, Regent of Scotland, the 19-year-old Mary reluctantly returned to rule Scotland on 19th August 1561. As reckless and i...
Mary was married to Francis, Dauphin of France, from 1558 until he died in 1560. On return to Scotland, Mary married her cousin, Henry Stuart (Lord Darnley) in 1565. He soon became jealous of her affections for David Rizzio, her Italian secretary. Before long Darnley had Rizzio murdered in front of the heavily pregnant Queen. The following year Dar...
In England and under house-arrest, Mary reinvented herself as a devout Catholic and a rival legitimate claimant to the English throne. Following Elizabeth’s new religious settlement in 1559, the deposed Queen of Scotland proved a very destabilising presence, as she quickly became a figurehead for disaffected Catholics. Consequently, plots and consp...
In February 1570 Pope Pius V issued a damning Papal Bull (a type of public decree) which excommunicated Elizabeth, 'the pretended Queen of England, the Servant of Wickedness'. It declared her deposed and absolved her subjects from any oath of allegiance to her. The Bull put English Catholics in an untenable position, with its declaration that a Cat...
The first plot was planned by Roberto Ridolfi, a Florentine banker living in London. Uncovered by the government in 1571, the conspiracy aimed to use Spanish troops from the Netherlands to depose Elizabeth and put Mary on the throne with Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, as her husband. Norfolk was found guilty of treason and executed in 1572. Althou...
It was a plot to kill Elizabeth and start a Catholic uprising that became Mary's undoing. In July 1586 Anthony Babington wrote to Mary explaining that he had six friends 'who for the zeal they bear unto the Catholic cause and your Majesty's service will undertake that tragical execution'. Mary replied to Babington shortly after: ‘Then shall it be t...
Mary requested to be buried in France but this was refused by Elizabeth. Instead her body was embalmed and left in a secure coffin until her burial in July 1587. In 1612 her body was exhumbed, when her son King James I ordered that her body be placed in Westminster Abbey opposite Elizabeth.
Just one year after Mary's execution, Queen Elizabeth I faced the most famous conflict of her reign - the failed invasion of England by the Spanish Armada in summer 1588. The Armada Portrait, recently saved for the nation is now back on public display in the Queen's House after careful conservation. Find out more and visit The Armada Portrait
