Compton's Encyclopedia (via America Online, 1995):

MARY, or MARY STUART (1542-87). The life of Mary Stuart, also called Mary,
queen of Scots, has been a favorite subject of dramatists and poets. She
became the central figure in a complex political drama, which resulted in her
untimely death. She lived in the turbulent period of the Protestant
Reformation, and she was a Catholic.

Mary Stuart, the daughter of King James V of Scotland and the French
princess Mary of Guise, was born on about Dec. 8, 1542. A few days after her
birth her father died, and she inherited the crown of Scotland. The infant
queen was pledged to marry Prince Edward of England (later Edward VI), but
the Scots rightly feared that Edward's father, King Henry VIII, wanted to
annex Scotland to England. They therefore preferred a French alliance, so
Mary was betrothed instead to the Dauphin (crown prince) Francis, heir to the
French throne.

The child queen was sent to France. For ten years she lived with her
mother's powerful relatives, the Guises, and acquired all the graces of the
French court. "This small queen of Scots," wrote her mother-in-law, Catherine
de' Medici, "has only to smile in order to turn all French heads."


At 15 she was married to the Dauphin. In the same year (1558) Elizabeth I
became queen of England (see Elizabeth I). Catholic Europe regarded Mary
Stuart as England's rightful queen. The Dauphin succeeded his father, Henry
II, in 1559 as Francis II. The next year Francis died, leaving Mary a
childless widow. She was then 18.

Reluctantly Mary sailed back to her Scottish homeland to rule as queen.
Her mother, who had acted as regent in her absence, had just died. French
influence had declined as English influence under Elizabeth I had grown. The
Protestant Reformation, for which John Knox and others had long labored, was
now established. From his pulpit Knox thundered denunciations of the Catholic
queen (see Knox).

Both English and Scottish statesmen were concerned with finding a husband
for Mary. As the granddaughter of Henry VIII's eldest sister, Mary was
heiress to the crown of England if, as seemed likely, Queen Elizabeth should
die unmarried and childless. To strengthen her claim Mary married in 1565
handsome Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, who also had a claim to the English
crown. The marriage was a failure. Darnley was vain, weak, and eager for
power.

Darnley's insolence and Mary's Catholicism produced discord between Mary
and her Protestant subjects. A group of her enemies at the court pointed out
to Darnley the rapid advancement with which the queen favored her Italian
secretary, David Rizzio. Darnley became party to their plot, and Rizzio was
dragged from the queen's presence at Holyrood Palace and murdered.

Mary pretended to pardon Rizzio's murderers. After the birth of her son
James in 1566, she even agreed to a formal reconciliation with Darnley; but
this did not last. The next year she persuaded her husband, who was ill, to
move from Glasgow to a lonely house called Kirk-o'-Field just outside
Edinburgh. One night the house was shattered by the explosion of barrels of
gunpowder. The next morning Darnley's strangled body was found in the garden.

The queen was suspected of having had a part in her husband's murder. Knox
intensified his campaign against her. The Scottish lords rose in revolt when,
three months after Darnley's death, Mary was married to the earl of Bothwell,
who had been exposed as the leader of Darnley's assassins. Mary's forces were
defeated at Carberry Hill near Edinburgh. The queen was forced to abdicate in
favor of her infant son, James VI. Bothwell fled to Denmark.

For 11 months Mary was imprisoned in the island castle of Loch Leven. On
May 2, 1568, she escaped by boat to the mainland, where her friends awaited
her. An army rallied round her, only to be completely defeated at the village
of Langside, south of Glasgow, by the regent Murray's forces. Mary fled, and
according to her own account, she slept on the ground, hungry and cold, for
three nights. Then she crossed the border into England and cast herself on
the mercy of Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth promptly had her taken into custody
while a commission examined her guilt in regard to Darnley's murder.

Letters found in a mysterious silver casket, supposedly written by Mary to
Bothwell after his flight, were used against her to prove that she was aware
of the plot to murder Darnley. The original letters, written in French,
disappeared during Mary's lifetime, and there has been much controversy over
the English translation, which was made from copies.

For nearly 19 years Mary Stuart was Elizabeth's prisoner. English
Catholics formed plots to liberate her and place her on the throne of
England. The Babington conspiracy of 1585--named after the ringleader,
Anthony Babington--was the last and fatal link in a series of events that at
length induced Elizabeth to bring Mary to trial in 1586. Mary conducted her
own defense with courage and eloquence but was found guilty of complicity in
a plot to assassinate Elizabeth. Elizabeth reluctantly signed Mary Stuart's
death warrant. On Feb. 8, 1587, Mary, bearing herself like a queen, was
beheaded in Fotheringay Castle, Northamptonshire. When Elizabeth died 16
years later, Mary Stuart's son, James VI of Scotland, became James I of
England, the first of England's Stuart line.

Mary m. (1) 24 April 1558 in Paris Francis II and (3) 15 May 1567 Mary Queen of Scots made an unpopular third marriage to James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell. The marriage took place according to Protestant rites in the Great Hall at Holyrood, eight days after Bothwell's divorce from Jean Gordon, daughter of the 4th Earl of Huntly. Mary and Bothwell's marriage proved disastrous - within hours of the union, placards appeared on the streets of Edinburgh with images of Mary as a mermaid (which was the sign for a prostitute) and Bothwell was forced to flee Scotland exactly a month later, never to see Mary again. He died in prison in Dragholm Castle in Denmark in 1578, at the age of 44, after years of solitary confinement.
