Mary, Queen of Scots Mary Stuart became Queen of Scotland as an infant to Mary of Guise and James V. Mary, Queen of Scots, would go from a perfect childhood, to different marriages, betrayal from her cousin, Elizabeth I, that resulted in her execution. In my belief Mary did not deserve to die the way she did, because at the most she tried to make the best decisions for her country and that was always her main priority. Her childhood was always in hiding, but for the reason that at one week into the world she became queen. Mary was born on 8 December, 1542 at the Linlithgow Palace. Her father, James V, past away six days later after being born. Her mother, Mary of Guise, then tried to find the best possible partner for her. Mary Stuart
Mary of Guise gave birth to one of the most compelling and controversial monarchs of the Renaissance in the Linlithgow Palace on December 8th, 1542. Her child was Mary, Queen of Scots, who became ruler of Scotland at only six days old. Due to Mary’s father’s sudden death six days after she was born, it led her to the Scottish throne.
In July of 1565, she wed a cousin named Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, a weak, vain, and unstable young man; like Mary, he was also a grandchild of Henry VIII’s sister Margaret. Why Mary wed Darnley remains a mystery. He was superficially charming and, unlike most men, taller than the queen. He was also fond of courtly amusements and thus a nice change from the dour Scottish lords who surrounded her. But he never seemed to care for Mary and sought far more power than she was willing to give him.
This gave her the name Bloody Mary. Queen Mary took the throne for five years before her death in 1558 which many believe as caused by an ovarian cyst which would have explained her false
Evidently, Queen Mary’s death was a means for her husband’s political allies and enemies to reshape the future of the country. Augustus’ enemies also used Livia as a political tool to damage the reputation of his dynasty. Despite the similarities, there are differences among these post humous attacks. Livia is described by her critics as a bad mother and wife; she is the wicked stepmother and is charged by Tacitus for poisoning Augustus and killing those in line for the throne for the advancement of her own son. Mary II is criticizes by Jacobites for siding with her husband during the Glorious Revolution, which pushed her father off his throne.
Mary was born on February 18, 1516. Her parents were Catherine of Aragon and King Henry VIII. She had two siblings, Edward VI and Elizabeth I. Mary was their only child to make it past childhood. She had a happy childhood and was always the center of attention. When her mother gave no sons, Henry divorced her, but not legally.
Since she was not fit to the throne, Mary Queen of Scots had a strong shot at the throne. Many Catholics in Europe thought that Mary was the correct heir to the throne. In 1568 Mary was driven out of power by the Scots. The thought that commoners could drive rulers
After her mother died her father labeled her as a bastard and a disappointment. Soon after King Henry immediately married Jane Seymour. Henry and Jane gave birth to their son Edward in 1537 which put Elizabeth third in line to the throne. Second in line would be her half sister Mary daughter of Catherine Aragon,
Elizabeth I was Queen of England and Ireland from November 17, 1558 until she died on March 24, 1603. Elizabeth I was born at Greenwich Palace on September 7, 1533. She was named after her grandmothers Elizabeth Howard and Elizabeth of York. She was the second child in her family. Her father is Henry VIII of England.
Mary I of England was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Henry VIII wanted a son and left Catherine due to the fact that she could not provide him one. He had to create a new church in England so as to create an annulment. His new wife also gave a girl, Elizabeth I. Mary would become a bastard and became devoted to Catholicism, the same fate her father had abandoned. Mary would grow a great hatred toward her father.
Mary was the Catholic great-granddaughter of Henry VII; therefore, she was the legitimate heir to the throne while Elizabeth was a Protestant daughter.
It is true that she proved wrong many people who said a woman could not rule a country such as England, and had a very successful forty-five year reign. However, in their excitement, many overlook Elizabeth’s immediate predecessor Queen Mary, unless to paint her as the Catholic monster from whom Elizabeth saved the English. This is a gross misrepresentation of Elizabeth’s part in Mary’s reign, and more importantly, often means leaving out how much Elizabeth studied her sister’s reign, for examples of both what and what not to do. Elizabeth, like Mary, waited until after her coronation to call a parliament, to avoid casting any doubt on the ‘fact’ that her sovereign right to rule was determined by God, not Parliament. Mary’s marriage, however, was a perfect example to Elizabeth of what not to do.
Her mother and Margaret Went on a ship which crashed into the coast of Scotland, her family stayed there. In 1070 when Margaret was 25 she had married the king of Scotland his name was Malcolm Canmore. When she was a queen her faith had a strong impact on her huband’s reign over the kingdom. She resolved his temper by letting him practice on his virtue.
Mary also spent three months at her cousin Elizabeth’s house.
Mary Queen of Scots, despite contrary belief, was not a good leader. Queen Mary hardly even visited Scotland and lived at French court for most of her childhood. Mary, was the only surviving legitimate child of King James V of Scotland, and when she was six days old her father died and she inherited to the throne. She spent most of her childhood in France while Scotland was ruled by regents, until she became of age and she returned to Scotland from French Court. In 1558, she married the Dauphin of France, Francis.
During the middle ages, the people had their own tasks at hand. The rich people had everything while the poor people were hardly making it by. The lady of the castle had a lot of tasks more than the other people. During the medieval times, lady of the castle was a representative of the nobility. The lady of the castle had to run the household while he was absent, and she wore fancy clothes because rich people had more money to spend.
