Mary Stuart was born into the royal family as the daughter of the King of Scotland
Mary was destined to become the Queen of Scotland from the moment she was born.
But it all came so suddenly.
Her father died unexpectedly shortly after her birth.
The weak Mary was forced to inherit the throne.
In order to revive the royal family and escape the conflict of marriage with England
where she received an exotic education.
Mary then experienced a life of luxury and carefree living.
It was probably the happiest time of her life.
She became the queen of the king of France.
Soon after the marriage, her husband François II died unexpectedly.
Her mother-in-law began to point the finger at Marie.
Mary was left to accept the criticism and ridicule of the outside world in silence.
Then Mary's mother and the Regent of Scotland were killed by assassins.
Mary had no choice but to follow the advice of her half-brother, James.
Then she returned to England to inherit her position as queen and deal with the affairs of state.
But what she didn't expect was that Mary's return would come at a time when Scotland was in the midst of partisan strife.
Protestant forces were beginning to clash with Catholicism and the two sides were at odds.
And to make things even more difficult, in the south of Scotland at that time
There was also a loyal Protestant Queen Elizabeth of England
Mary was Catholic and Elizabeth was Protestant.
This in itself was a great contradiction
Mary's return was also destined to cause a strife
And this was only one side of the story that Mary could see.
Behind the scenes there are many unknown conspiracies
Soon after her return, Mary found out that her brother James wanted to take over the power
He wanted to run all the affairs of state.
Mary was left to fend for herself as a puppet.
Mary, as Queen of Scotland, would not tolerate this absurd and ridiculous plot.
This is a ridiculous plot.
At this point, the two attendants Mary had brought back from France began to persuade Mary
to find a powerful Catholic prince to depend on
Then, with the help of outside forces, she could get rid of her brother James
and take over England in one fell swoop.
Mary obeyed the advice of her attendants
She began to look around for a prince she could depend on.
Soon Elizabeth from afar learned of Mary's intentions
And tried to stop Mary in any way she could.
And made it clear that if Mary persisted.
England would declare war on Scotland.
Scotland was unable to stand up to Elizabeth.
Mary had to give up her idea
Afterwards, in order to eliminate the hidden problems
Elizabeth even decided to make her favorite minister Robert to become Mary's husband
In exchange, she would give up the throne of England
Mary would be given the throne of England in a hundred years.
This is a humiliating exchange agreement that Mary certainly will not accept
Then Elizabeth embarked on her next plot.
Sending a cowardly and incompetent but handsome man named Darnley to approach Mary.
In an attempt to get this incompetent young man to victimize Mary
and render her defenseless.
Darnley was not only a strong, athletic man
He is also the heir to the Scottish throne.
More importantly, he was a Catholic like Mary.
On the face of it, he and Mary were a match made in heaven.
But in reality his arrival would only bring untold misfortune to Scotland
And Queen Mary could not see that.
She fell right into the path of Elizabeth's plot.
It wasn't long before Darnley and Mary came together.
Soon after, they announced their wedding.
But at this point Mary's older brother, James, was strongly opposed.
Mary doesn't give up on the idea of being with Darnley.
Instead, she joined forces with Darnley to remove James from his position of power
and banished him to his homeland.
At the same time, Mary's minister Boswell suggested that Mary should execute James.
To eliminate the root of the problem.
But Mary did not do so because of her kinship with James.
After exiling James, Mary and Darnley were married.
At the wedding, Boswell gave Mary the jewel from his sword as a wedding gift.
This caused Darnley's displeasure.
He ordered Queen Mary to refuse Boswell's gift in public.
He ordered Queen Mary to refuse Boswell's gift, and made a great noise for the ministers and officials present
to choose between Mary and himself.
But as expected, the ministers and officials were definitely on Queen Mary's side
Because Darnley had no real power at all
And his unreasonable noise directly revealed his nature
After that, when Mary saw Darnley's rude and childish nature, she had no more love for him.
She turned and began to spend her days with her own servants
When Darnley saw this, he was furious and wanted to get back at Mary.
At the same time, some Protestant forces who had already tried to murder Mary
They wanted to get rid of Queen Mary.
And the mastermind behind all this is the previous exile of Mary James
Soon the Protestant forces began to learn of Elizabeth's plot
Elizabeth joined the court coup at the instigation of the ministers
With Elizabeth's support
The Protestant rebels, led by James, began to create a riot
They broke into the palace and killed Mary's attendants
and imprisoned Queen Mary, who was pregnant.
Then they wanted to wait for Mary to give birth to a child
They wanted to raise him as the Protestant heir to the Scottish throne.
The imprisoned Mary learned of the Protestant plot
and tried to resist.
She first tries to contact Boswell in an attempt to escape.
Then she tried to dissuade Darnley from his alliance with the Protestants.
Darnley agrees to Mary because he is weak and distrusts the Protestant forces.
Later, with Boswell's help
Mary and Darnley fled Edinburgh together.
They then went to Hermitage Castle
There Mary gave birth to her child.
When Elizabeth learned that Mary had given birth, she was jealous.
Then her hatred for Mary deepened.
However, Mary finally put down the Protestant rebellion with Boswell's support.
And organized a friendship between Darnley, Boswell and James
It was thought that the situation in Scotland would develop in a good direction after that
But soon the country was in trouble because of Mary Boswell
and the three Darnley's relationship, the country was thrown into turmoil
Because Mary and Boswell were too close to each other, Darnley's displeasure was aroused.
In his anger, he threatened Mary with divorce.
Over time, Mary begins to hate Darnley more and more
And she decided to get together with Boswell.
Boswell soon used the Protestant rebellion to get rid of Darnley.
Then he married Queen Mary.
Their actions aroused much discussion and ridicule.
When Elizabeth learned of this, she expressed her displeasure.
All the mischief once again stirred up riots and strife within Scotland
James rebelled again and combined with the Protestant forces to rebel again.
When he succeeded, he directly threatened Queen Mary to write an agreement to give up the throne.
But Mary remained high profile and prepared to die as Queen.
Then Boswell, in order to save Mary's life
He persuaded Mary to reach a compromise
Mary was then exiled to England.
And Boswell was exiled to Denmark.
After arriving in England, Mary naively went to Elizabeth for help
She did not know that Elizabeth was the mastermind behind it
When she saw a despondent Mary, Elizabeth told her the truth without any fear.
The two broke out in a fierce quarrel
Eventually Mary was imprisoned again
This time, she was imprisoned for more than a decade.
After more than a decade, Queen Mary was a different person, with no ambition or ambition at all.
Until a chance encounter.
A priest instigated Mary's rebellion against Elizabeth
And he would contact the Catholic forces in Europe to support her.
Mary agreed to the priest and went into action with him.
But in the end, the plot failed.
Elizabeth had no intention of killing Mary.
Because she was afraid of causing riots and strife between the two sects.
So she begged Mary to confess her faults in front of everyone.
But Mary refused.
In the face of danger, she maintained her noble queenliness and refused to die.
Elizabeth had no choice but to send her to the guillotine with her own hands
On that day, Queen Mary changed into a bright red Catholic dress
To show her loyalty to the Church and to set an example for her children
As she was dying, she said, "My end will be a new beginning."
After that, the torturers began the execution.
And so Queen Mary ended her life with pride.
Her son, James VI, succeeded to the throne of England and Scotland.
This was a testament to the words of Queen Mary before she died
Her end would be the beginning of a new beginning
The rebellion of the usurpers
This is a common phenomenon in every country that believes in kingship at all times
Sometimes being born in a high position is not necessarily a good thing
After watching some of the struggles in the official circles
I can not help but sigh life ups and downs really exciting
But you will also find that the life of ordinary people is not a kind of luck
(End)
