She was beheaded on February 8th 1587 at Fotheringhay Castle in a hurry in case Elizabeth changed her mind and pardoned her. The executioner was poor and his first blow landed on Mary's head. The second nearly severed the head and the executioner had to cut away to release it. He picked it up by the hair but Mary had been wearing a wig and the head rolled away. Legend has it that her pet dog was hiding in her skirts and emerged covered in blood.

∙ 15y agoThe (dolorous stroke)-that is sad, tragic, fell at Fotheringhay, Scotland in l587 The execution weapon was an axe. the identity of the executioner has never been made public but he was either an Army (RA, Royal Army) officer or a Police Constable of England, Having a Scotsman do the job would be too much and too risky!

I believe you are referring to the so-called Casket Letters- there were two- the name does not refer to a burial vessel- but something akin to a letter box- but of a boxy, coffin-like shape. There were two letters- and they were written, it is believed in French- they may still exist, were not buried with Her Majesty. See the excellent book (Mary Queen of Scots- by Antonia Fraser) this honors the facts and dispells some intriguing myths and legends about the hapless Queen.
