Question

*Mary Queen of Scots*

Mary Stuart became the queen of Scotland when she was still a baby. She grew up hoping to become queen of England as well. However, politics and religion kept Mary from claiming the English throne. She was Henry VIII's great-niece. Mary was born on December 8, 1542, in Scotland. Her father was King James V of Scotland. When he died only a few days after her birth, she became a queen. Mary's mother was the French princess Mary of Guise. Mary of Guise ruled Scotland until her daughter grew up. At the age of 5, Mary was sent to France, where she grew up in the luxurious French court. Mary was raised as a Roman Catholic, like her mother. This caused problems when Mary became queen. Scotland followed the Protestant branch of Christianity. Many Scots did not want a Catholic queen. Others did not like the advisers she chose or her husband, Henry Stewart, called Lord Darnley. Some members of her court plotted against her. In 1568 Mary fled her many enemies. Hoping that her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, would help her, she rushed to England. But Elizabeth did not trust Mary. She knew that Mary wanted to become queen of England. To protect herself, Elizabeth threw Mary into prison. Mary remained in prison for the rest of her life. She went on trial in 1586 and was found guilty of plotting to have Elizabeth killed. Mary was beheaded on February 8, 1587.
