Mary queen of scotts was a devout catholic, born legitimately...Queen Elizabeth the first founded and is now the Church of England,where she was a bastard child that everyone from the pope on down wanted her death..she was a good queen she allowed the freedom of the christian faith she was a protestant,and would not bow down to the demands of the queen of Scots,by marriage or other...im sure there was jealousy there too..but Queen Elizabeth the first ruled for over 40yrs, and those were the known as the "golden Years.).....Mary queen of Scots was tried,and executed for treason, something an anointed king or queen in good moral conscience agonized over...This was also her sister who commited treason by plotting the queen elizabeths death and was caught doing so...It is said that when she was executed that her little dog hid under her execution robes...and that she was wearing a wig which she removed...very sad,but that's was then... further on this it is said that the spanish armada lost the war back then with England by a margin of error, he did not pay attention to the weather,sir Walter Rally,knew what he was doing..there are two movies out,with Kate Blanchet...Elizabeth the 1st and the second one is Elizabeth the1st...the golden yrs....very good history....Back in those days the roman catholics diacease ordered the death of many protestant...quenn elizabeth stopped all that..lol
