Where did Lord Darnley die?

Henry, Lord Darnley, (2nd husband of Mary, Queen of Scots and father to her only son, James) died in 1563 in suspicious circumstances. He was found in the garden of a house in Kirk O'Field, Scotland, where an explosion had taken place. Although the house had been blown up, it seems that Darnley and his servants managed to get out of the windows, but it would appear that they had been strangled by assailants waiting for them. Mary and Lord Bothwell (who would become her 3rd husband) were implicated in Darnley's death, but nothing was proven.


Why did Mary marry lord darnley?

Mary, Queen of Scots, married Lord Darnley in 1565 primarily to strengthen her claim to the English throne. Darnley was a grandchild of Henry VII of England, which linked Mary more closely to the Tudor dynasty. Additionally, their union was seen as a political alliance aimed at consolidating power and gaining support from the Scottish nobility. However, the marriage quickly deteriorated due to Darnley's ambition and personality, leading to significant political turmoil.
