  4. Marriage & Death of Husband When she was 15 she married the French Kings son Francois II. But just after 1 year her husband died and she had to return back to Scotland in 1561.

  5. 2nd Marriage She had married her cousin Lord Darnley but soon found out that he was a drunkard. He even killed Mary’s secretary David Riccio by stabbing him 56 times. However, in June 1566, Mary gave birth to a baby boy called James. He was to become the king of England when Elizabeth died in 1603.

  6. 3rd Marriage On February 9th 1567, Mary and Darnley was at a house called Kirk O'Field.That night, Kirk O'Field was blown up. Darnley's body was found in the garden of the house.

Mary was arrested and held prisoner at Lochleven Castle. 

  7. Prisoner again ! Mary later escaped from her prison and she fled to England where she hoped her cousin, Elizabeth, would look after her. Mary was Catholic and that was a problem for Elizabeth. So she put Mary in prison for 19 years in various places.

  8. Clever Coding In 1586, a man called Anthony Babington made a plot to kill Elizabeth, rescue Mary and then see her as the next queen of England. He wrote in code to Mary to explain what he was doing. Mary wrote back, stating that she agreed with what he was doing. Walsingham's spies spied both letters. Babington was arrested and in September 1586, Babington was executed. Now the government had a case against Mary.
