Answer 2

She was brought up from the age of five at the French court, and married at fifteen to the Dauphin, Francois.  She was Queen of France for a very brief period, before her young husband died and left her a widow at twenty.  She returned to Scotland where she met with a hostile reception.  The Scots had mainly converted to Protestantism, so Mary as a Catholic was regarded with suspicion.  she particularly incurred the wrath of John Knox, the leader of the Protestant church in Scotland, who hated her particularly because he thought women were not fit to rule.

She married Henry Darnley, who treated her very badly.  After the birth of her son James, Darnley was killed in suspicious circumstances, and mary was suspected of being involved in the conspiracy to murder him.  She made the terrible mistake of marrying Bothwell, who was a suspect in her husband's murder, which confirmed her guilt in the eyes of the Scottish people.  She escaped, was recaptured, forced to abdicate, and escaped again, taking refuge in england.  elizabeth I kept her under house arrest for twenty years, she was moved from place to place.  She was a focus for Catholics who hoped to depose or kill elizabeth and put Mary on the throne instead, and in 1587 she was executed for being implicated in a plot against elizabeth.

Mary was very charming and cultured, and many people admired her greatly.  She had great courage and did not allow her long years of imprisonment to break her spirit.  She was a keen golfer and owned one of the first billiard tables in Britain.  she was an exquisite needlewoman and did a lot of embroidery to while away her time in prison.
