Although Mary Queen of Scots was young when Henry VIII was alive, he did want her betrothed to his son Edward. Aside from that, I am unaware of any other direct connections between the two, aside from being related.
Mary, Queen of Scots was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII
There was no Mary Tudor, Queen of Scots. Mary, Queen of Scots was a Stuart who was the great granddaughter of Henry VII. Mary Tudor, Queen of England was her cousin. Mary Queen of Scots was born December 8, 1542.
Mary I was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, and, therefore, heir to the throne of England. Mary Queen of Scots was the daughter of King James V of Scotland and Mary of Guise. She was Queen of Scotland and, very briefly, France. She was actually Mary I of Scotland but the name Mary Queen of Scots is generally used to differentiate her from Mary I of England.
Mary (Stuart) Queen of Scots never was queen of England. You might have her confused with Mary (Tudor) I .
Mary Queen of Scots was Henry VII of England's great-granddaughter. Elizabeth I was the second legitimate child of Henry VIII of England (the son of Henry VII) to survive infancy. Elizabeth was therefore the granddaughter of Henry VII. In other words Mary was the daughter of Elizabeth's cousin.
Her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Mary I's successor, wanted Queen Mary I, Queen of Scots, to be executed.
Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 - 1587) was the mother of James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) by her second husband, Lord Henry Darnley.
No, although she did have a sister called Mary who became Queen of England. Mary Queen of Scots was related to the Tudor line, she was Henry VIII's sister's granddaughter.
They were first cousins once removed (Mary Queen of Scots was Henry VIII's grand niece).
it was the queen of england
Mary, Queen of Scots was the cousin to Queen Elizabeth I of England. Mary was beheaded after evidence was presented to Elizabeth that Mary was attempting overthrow her and seize the throne of England for herself.
Depends on how you look at it. She was the highest Catholic in the line of succession, and as such, was the favorite of some Catholic Britons to take the throne. Plus, Elizabeth I was proclaimed illegitamate by her father and was considered illegitamate since the moment of her birth by Catholics because they did not recognize her parents' marriage. Thus, some claimed that Mary I of Scotland was the rightfull monarch of England as Mary II of England. Indeed, Jacobite succession recognized Jacobite pretenders named Mary as Mary III and Mary IV of England respectivly.
