The life story of Mary Stuart Queen of Scots is actually a tragedy with completely unexpected peripeties. Her political rival and eternal rival, Queen Elizabeth I of England, was cut from the same cloth, and it could not end well.
Mary Stuart was the daughter of King James V of Scotland and the French noblewoman Marie de Guise. Even as a pre-school child, she was destined to be a bride to the King of England. Such practices were not uncommon among European ruling families at the time, and no one dared question their propriety.
At the age of five, however, owing to various intrigues and changes of political purpose, Mary was removed to France, where she was brought up as a bride destined for the King of France. This she was then actually obliged to marry in 1658, at the age of 16.
However, her husband and French King Francis II died in December 1560, leaving Marie a widow. When Mary I died. Tudor, she refused to recognise Elizabeth I of England as Queen. In Scotland, she then clashed with the Protestant nobility and clergy because she was herself a Catholic.
"The life story of Mary Stuart is actually a tragedy with completely unexpected peripheries. But perhaps things might have played out differently if this proud woman had not become too attached to one thing, and one hundred to her power. But she was unlucky. Her political rival and eternal rival, Queen Elizabeth I of England, was cut from the same cloth, and it could not have ended well," writes Vladimír Liška in The Fountainhead.
Mary Stuart, the Catholic Queen of Scots, was deposed by Calvinist nobles in 1568 and fled to England. There, her cousin Elizabeth had her promptly arrested in connection with Catholic plots against the Protestant queen
"Mary Stuart was executed in 1586. While in England the Church of England and in Scotland the Presbyterian Church gained decisive influence, in Ireland the people clung to the Catholic Church," writes Luděk Rejchrt in Such a Long Way: Narratives from the History of the Christian Church.
Indeed, Mary Stuart corresponded with her Catholic admirer Babington, who was inclined to liberate the now former queen. And so Elizabeth's minions set a spy on Babington, who actually planted the idea of assassinating the English queen in his mind. He wrote to Mary about this idea, who agreed to remove the English queen. Then it was easy to eliminate Mary.
