Who is Mary Queen of Scots cousin?
Yes, Mary Queen of Scots and Mary I of England were related. Mary Tudor's father was Henry VIII - and his sister, Margaret Tudor, was Mary Queen of Scots' grandmother (she married James IV of Scotland). This family connection was the basis for Mary Queen of Scot's claim to the English throne which would shape Anglo-Scottish relations during the 1540s-1560s, and the reason for the strained relationship between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth. So, the answer below does not take into account the fact that the Tudor and the Stewarts were related on Mary Queen of Scots' father's side!! No. However Queen Mary I ( Bloody Mary) who only reigned 5 years-l553-58 and was succeeded on her death by Queen Elizabeth I- were half-sisters. they had the same father- Henry The Viii! Mary was the daughter of Katharine of Aragon who was a Spanish Princess, ( never called by her Spanish handle, Catalina) and Elizabeth of the ill-fated Anne Boleyn. Both had Henry as father. Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots ws the daughter of the ruling Queen of France, Marie de Guise, and was not a blood relative of the English Royals at all.

Where did the word caddy come from?
What is the origin of the golf term "caddie"? When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education & survival) Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game golf. So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played Louis ordered cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run) she took the practice with her. In French the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' & the Scots bastardized it into caddie.
