When Henry II died, Mary and Francis reigned over France and Scotland but &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;they were &lt;/del&gt;also &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;interested in &lt;/del&gt;England and Ireland. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Francis died on December 5, 1560, the couple was childless. Due to a contract made with Henry before her marriage, Mary could &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;to &lt;/del&gt;stay in France or go back to Scotland. She decided to go back to her home country Scotland in August, 1561. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; She married again, Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley who was a Catholic but later allied with the Protestants. Mary and Henry are the parents of James VI of Scotland, who later became James I of England. On February 10, 1567 Darnley was murdered and only a few months later Mary married Francis Stewart Earl of Bothwell. That is one of the reasons why Mary was accused to be a member of the murderers of Darnley and forced to abdicate. The tension between Mary’s supporters and enemies rose and on May 2, 1568 after Mary had been captured for about one year at Lochleven Castle; she could escape and joined forces with the Hamilton family in the West. She decided to appeal to Elizabeth I, her cousin, Queen of England. She would never see Scotland again. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Since Elizabeth was childless and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;she &lt;/del&gt;could &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;also &lt;/del&gt;imagine that Mary’s son James could become her heir as well, she considered Mary, being the closest Catholic claimant to the English throne, as some kind of danger to her own power. Elizabeth kept Mary as a prisoner although at this time the claim that Mary was one of the murderers of Darnley &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;revealed &lt;/del&gt;some counter evidences. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; There could also be some evidence in the so-called Casket Letters, letters written between Mary and Bothwell but it is unclear whether they really existed and if yes, what was written in them because the originals are not &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;extent &lt;/del&gt;and only some translated copies exist today. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;During her last years she &lt;/del&gt;was &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;probably &lt;/del&gt;last kept at Fotheringhay Castle, where she was also executed in 1587. There are also some juicy facts known about her execution: the executioner was not able to cut her head off at the first blow, so he had to try it with a second one. When he wanted to show the head to the audience he was only carrying Mary’s wig, her head still lying on the ground. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Sources: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Cannon, John Ashton. &#039;&#039;The Oxford Companion to British History&#039;&#039;.
