Mary Queen of Scots

[Chopski]

Currently i am investigating the life of Queen of Scots. I happen to believe that Mary was a misled character. She seems to be implicated in the murder of Lord Darnley. I believe that she planned, the murder with the help of Bothwell.

Mary was indeed misled. Being widowed by the time she was 16, and moving back to scotland, her own brother was against her being queen and she was used to have wonderful life in france and in returning to scotland it being in complete turmoil. She had no idea who to trust and confide in. She couldn't even practice her own reglion, without her brother, the Lords looking down upon her. The moment she landed in Leith she had to prove herself to her subjects. And that is a pity, If she was allowed to rule properly I think Scotland would have been a great country at that time, richest and most powerful.

I'd have to check this out, but i'm pretty sure that Mary didn't have a brother because her father, James V, died shortly after she was born.

Also, Mary's insistence to stick to Catholicism meant that she would never be accepted.

Mary had an illegitimate half-brother, Lord James Stewart. His birth out of wedlock barred him from the throne, which explains why his younger half-sister became Queen.

If you want real information read the link above. Mary Queen of Scots did not murder her husband. She was set up to take a fall. This was planned by the followers of John Knox who wanted the new Protestant religion to take over the control of Scotland. He was after the crown himself by marrying, Majorie Stewart, granddaughter of King Henry V111.
Mary also disowned James V1 before her execution. Can you figure that out? The above link might give you a new perspective on what really went on in the mid to late 1500's regarding Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots and the crown.

Still peddling the 'I've got Scotland's silver treasures' line?

When is that 'proof' you promised going to be forthcoming from your 'experts'?

That link you give cites no sources.

You asked for resourses. Here's one....

Why would she disinherite James? It's probably true that she found out he was not her son before her execution. The pieces of the puzzle do fit nice and tight.
