Question

Im doing a speech about Mary Queen of Scots, but i cant come up with a grabber at the begining. HELP!!!thanks?

Answer 1

A Scottish Queen, a French Queen, and a would-be English Queen -- Mary, Queen of Scots, lost her head because she lusted after one crown too many . . ."

Answer 2

There's something about The Queen of Scots. Arguably, it will make your hair stand on end.

Answer 3

How about Hear Ye Hear Ye People of (your college) of the infamous royal Majesty of Mary Queen of the Scots long live the queen! then toot a trumpet! :)

Answer 4

Mary's life is so full of tragedy and ups and downs, I would think you could start with that.  "Imagine being born a Princess, being married off at age X to someone you barely know in a foreign country who dies after just a few years, losing your crown in a rebellion and finally being executed by your cousin, another Queen, who you never met, etc."  Even though I think she caused some of her own problems, it's hard not to feel sorry for her when you look at the chaos of her life.

Answer 5

This woman became Queen of Scotland as a newborn baby, married the heir to the French throne, probably colluded in the murder of her second husband, was executed by her cousin, and was the mother of the first monarch to be King of both England and Scotland.

Answer 6

Hoot, mon!  Where's me heed!?

Answer 7

"Mary Queen of Scots got her HEAD CHOPPED OFF!"

It's the title of a book and a play. I think the author got it from a Scots children's playground game.

Answer 8

You say "s*x! Now that I have your attention..." and go on from there.

Answer 9

Mary Queen of Scots is one of the best-known Scottish monarchs because of her tragic life. Mary Stuart was the first member of the royal House of Stuart to use the Gallicised spelling Stuart, rather than the earlier Stewart. (Mary adopted the French spelling Stuart during her time in France, and she and her descendants continued to use it).

Princess Mary Stuart was born at Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow, West Lothian, on December 7 or December 8, 1542 to King James V of Scotland and his French wife, Marie of Guise. In Falkland Palace, Fife, her father heard of the birth and prophesied, "The devil go with it! It came with a lass, it will pass with a lass!" James truly believed that Mary's birth marked the end of the Stuarts' reign over Scotland. Instead, through Mary's son, it was the beginning of their reign over both the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England.
