Best Answer

Mary's father was King James V. James died when Mary was just 6 days old and technically she became queen regnant at that time. However because she was underage, a regency was declared and Scotland was actually ruled by a series regents (adults who ruled Scotland for her and in her name during her childhood). The last of these was Mary's mother, Mary of Guise, daughter of the Duke of Guise, one of the most powerful men in France. Mary of Guise effectively ruled Scotland from 1554 to her death in 1560. Queen Mary returned from France, where she had grown up, at the age of 18 in 1561 to personally rule Scotland.
