Queen Mary always has a high position in the rankings of the most famous queens of all time not only for the UK but also in the whole world, besides the names that most people know like Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, Wu Zetian of China or Elizabeth I of England. Queen Mary's life was a series of dramas caused by political conflicts between France, England and Scotland that caused her to often flee and be imprisoned. And even though she was a noble and noble Queen, when she died, she had to bear the name of a traitor.

Born into a Royal family, crowned Queen at the age of 6 days and having more wisdom than others and stunning looks, Queen Mary was supposed to have a happy power life on the throne of Scotland. . On the contrary, because she was caught up in the chaotic political intrigues at that time, her life was not at all peaceful. The day she became Queen, the day she was only red in the cradle, was also the beginning of a series of sorrows, haunting her until the last moments of her life.

Events kept coming as soon as the Queen was born

Queen Mary Stuart was born crying at Linlithgow Palace (Scotland) on December 7, 1542, her father was the King of Scotland, her mother was a French noblewoman who was also quite powerful at that time. The event occurred shortly after Mary was born less than a week, that was the sudden death of her father. Mary was crowned Queen at the age of 6 days. A year later, when she was only 1 year old, because of political events between England and Scotland, Queen Mary was forced by King Henry VIII of England to marry his son in order to create a political marriage. beneficial to both sides.

The arranged marriage was rejected by the Scottish Parliament on the grounds that the Queen was too young, and if the marriage happened then Scotland would be in British hands. Angered by the rejected offer, King Henry VII decided to invade Scotland, capturing the young Queen as his daughter-in-law. Since then, continuous political upheavals have caused Queen Mary to move from one place to another. Having the status of Queen, but little Mary has to live a wandering life.

In order to completely escape the hands of the British, in 1548, at the age of 6, Mary was taken to France - her mother's homeland and raised in the French Royal environment. At this time, politics in Scotland was governed by members of the Royal Family. The next 10 years can be said to be the most peaceful period of Mary's life, both being safe and living in a suitable environment, so Mary quickly became an extremely beautiful young woman.

Referring to the beauty of Queen Mary in her childhood, historical documents also spend many words ivory as follows:

"Queen Mary has a small oval-shaped face, a long and very graceful neck, her light brown hair and brown eyes and arched eyebrows. She also has smooth, bright skin, a beautiful body. So Queen Mary in childhood was considered a beautiful little girl and later grew up to be the most prominent and attractive woman in Europe at that time."

Became a heartbroken woman who lost her husband and was imprisoned

In 1558, Queen Mary married Prince Francis of France. At this time, she became more powerful than ever with two titles, one is the Queen of Scotland, the other is the Crown Princess of France. A year later, her power rose to another level when her husband, Prince Francis, was crowned king, becoming King Francis II. Queen Mary automatically added the position of Queen of France.

This marriage did not last long because King Francis died a year after the wedding. After the death of her husband, Queen Mary had to leave France and return to Scotland. She later married her cousin Henry Stewart, but this marriage did not bring her happiness. This marriage affects the interests of Count Moray, the leader of the Protestant faction and Mary's half-brother. Earl Moray declared war on the Queen of Scotland leading to the Chaseabout Raid campaign, but he failed and had to flee to England.

Some time after their marriage, Darnley became increasingly dissatisfied with the position of the queen's husband and offered to take over the throne if Mary died before him, but that request was immediately denied. Angered by the rejection of the proposal and jealous of Rizzio, Mary's close friend, he secretly participated in the Protestant group's plot to overthrow the Queen and at the same time killed Rizzio himself. right in front of her. Mary was now pregnant with Darnley's first child and she quietly let it go. However, Rizzio's death caused a rift in the marriage between the two, so Mary considered a divorce and would remove Darnley in "the smoothest and most beneficial way for the country".

Darnley later became ill and moved to Kirk o' Field. In 1567, a sudden explosion occurred here and Darnley is said to have died from asphyxiation. Of course, the leading suspect in this mysterious case was Mary, but there was also Lord Bothwell, who had aided the queen in her war with Moray, since the two had previously been suspected of being had an affair with each other.

In the same year, Mary visited her 1-year-old son, Prince James, in Stirling, and on her way back to Edinburgh, she was kidnapped and raped by Bothwell. The two later married and returned to Edinburgh. This marriage shocked both Catholics and the Guest, who believed that the Queen was married to the man who killed her husband. A war broke out between an alliance of Scottish lords and queens, and victory was won in favor of the alliance. After the war, Botwell fled and Mary was arrested and held at Loch Leven radio station. A few months later, Mary was forced to abdicate and ceded the throne to Prince James with Moray (who had previously been absolved and called home) as regent.

Sorrowful at her fate, and wanting to escape from prison, Queen Mary sent a letter to her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England and the Queen of France, for help but in vain. Not long after that, she began planning her escape.

Thrilling prison break and continued 19 years of being imprisoned by her cousin and sentenced to death

This escape of Queen Mary has been recorded as one of the most thrilling escapes in European history. Specifically, in the first sneak escape from Lochleven Castle in March 1568, Queen Mary disguised herself as a laundromat and tried to cross the sea to the mainland by boat. But this time completely failed when the Queen was identified, the boatmen she hired discovered her aristocratic hands and beautiful face. At this time, she had to silently return to Lochleven Castle.

Undeterred, Queen Mary continued her plan a second time on May 2, 1568 with the help of an orphan whom she had befriended while at the castle. This time, she escaped, successfully crossed the sea and returned to land. There, she stole a horse from the stables of her captors and escaped.

After successfully escaping from captivity in Scotland, she evaded the intense search to go to England to find her cousin Queen Elizabeth I in the hope that her cousin would help her restore the throne.

Mary is the grandson of Margaret Tudor, the biological sister of King Henry VIII. Previously, in 1558, Henry VIII's eldest daughter, Queen Mary I of England, died and her heir was her sister, Elizabeth I. However, Elizabeth was not recognized by the Catholics because it was believed that she was her. As an illegitimate child, they think that the person who really has the right to sit on the throne is Mary Stuart, grandson of Margaret Tudor, the biological sister of King Henry VIII.

However, the presence of Queen Mary was seen by Queen Elizabeth I as a danger to the English throne.

Sadly, not only did she not help her cousin Mary, Queen Elizabeth I imprisoned Queen Mary for 19 years in Fort Carlisle under close watch. Not only that, Queen Mary was also accused of being involved in a series of conspiracies against Queen Elizabeth I. Finally, at the end of 19 years of imprisonment, Queen Mary was sentenced by her own cousin. death. On February 8, 1587, Queen Mary was executed at the Great Hall, before she died she could only utter one last sentence: "Put out your hand, O Lord, I entrust my soul". In 1603, after the death of Queen Elizabeth I, Mary's son ascended the throne and became King James I of England.
