Mary's first husband, Francois, King of France, died from illness I believe. He was on the sickly side. Her second husband, Henry, Lord Darnely died under mysterious circumstances. Some people think that she murdered him. I'm not sure how her third husband, Lord Bothwell, died.

Who took the throne after Mary Tudor?

-- Mary's heir -- Interestingly, Queen Mary I (Mary Queen of Scots), was NOT Queen of Scots at the time of her execution. Mary's reign ended in 1567 when she was forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son, but she did not die until 1587. In the meantime, she had been replaced by her son, King James VI, who reigned over Scotland until 1625 (over England from 1603). So, James VI succeeded Mary, but at the time of Mary's death, the heir to the throne could not have been James, as he was already King, so it was instead James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran who was heir in 1587. James was the great, great grandson of King James II. In 1594, James had a son, so the heirship passed to him.


Where did Lord Darnley die?

Henry, Lord Darnley, (2nd husband of Mary, Queen of Scots and father to her only son, James) died in 1563 in suspicious circumstances. He was found in the garden of a house in Kirk O'Field, Scotland, where an explosion had taken place. Although the house had been blown up, it seems that Darnley and his servants managed to get out of the windows, but it would appear that they had been strangled by assailants waiting for them. Mary and Lord Bothwell (who would become her 3rd husband) were implicated in Darnley's death, but nothing was proven.


Why was Mary Queen of Scots beheaded?

Mary Stuart, known as Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for high treason under the charge that she had participated in a plot to eliminate Queen Elizabeth (there is much more to this story however). Mary was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII therefore she had a claim on the English throne. Being a fervent Catholic, she was allied with Philip II of Spain--a ruthless enemy of her sister-in-law Queen Elizabeth mainly because she was a Protestant. After Mary was executed, Philip II sent a mighty navy to invade England (which became know as the invincible armada). Only, it wasn't so invincible after all. Some decisive cirurgical [what is this word?] strikes by vastly outnumbered English ships and a major storm left most ships at the bottom of the ocean and the few remaining fleeing Actually Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded because she was a catholic and a growing threat to Protestant England. I say a growing threat because it had become obvious that Elizabeth would not be producing an heir, and the unthinkable could happen Mary would become Queen of England. The trial was a farce. Nothing was produced to link her with Babington except `copies` of letters. As Mary said "Produce something with my handwriting and seal" The give away was by the Earl of Kent on the eve of her execution "You must die" he said "so that my faith will survive". Strangely enough after the death of Mary Tudor, Philip of Spain championed the claim of Elizabeth since Mary was allied to France and France and Spain were enemies. AS for the Armada, this was Philip tired of hsi ships being attacked by England and his threat of revenge. In fact half the ships had guns but the cannonballs did not fit and they were taken without a shot being fired. Actually Queen Elizabeth is Mary Queen of Scots cousin not aunt.
