The second husband of Mary Queen of Scots was Henry Stuart, LordDarnley. He was believed to have been murdered, and the murder has never been solved. On 9 February 1567, his body and thatof his valet William Taylor were discovered in an orchard after several explosions were heard at their estate; nearby lay a cloak, dagger and chair. Despite the explosions that were apparently caused by two barrels of gunpowder exploding beneath Lord Darnley's sleeping quarters, neither body showed any sign of injuries that could have been caused by the gunpowder. Instead, they had been strangled. Mary and the Earl of Bothwell were believed to have conspired to kill Lord Darnley, but this could not be proven.
