Mary, Queen of Scots

(r. 1542-1567)

Mary, Queen Of Scots or Mary Stuart became Queen Of Scotland when she was an only 6 days old after her father died. Mary is also the cousin of Queen Elizabeth I by being King Henry VII’s great-granddaughter. However, due to differences in religion between Mary and Elizabeth, there was always conflict for the battle of the English Throne.

Mary held her reign over Scotland for 25 years. Charming, yet naive, Mary’s reign was cut short after getting caught in a plot to assassinate Elizabeth I. Losing her title as Queen in 1567 and imprisoned for 19 years, she was executed in 1587 for Treason at the age of 44.
