Mary, Queen of Scots, governed Scotland from 1542 to 1567 until she was compelled to step down from the throne. She wed Francis and became queen consort of France. Upon her return to Scotland, she grappled with religious and political obstacles, demonstrating pragmatism and tolerance. Her union with Lord Darnley turned sour after he orchestrated a murder. Following Darnley’s demise, Mary was imprisoned and later abdicated in favor of her son, James VI. Seeking sanctuary in England, she was viewed as a threat by Queen Elizabeth I and ultimately executed for conspiring against her.
