History does not record the name of the Executioner. He was probably a regular officer of the ( English) Royal Army or the equivalent Police or constabulary force, it is doubtful a mere yeoman of the beat= or beat err, Bobby ( a term not then used) would have been assigned this morbid task. The execution took place at Fotheringhay Castle- which no longer exists. The Ax-wielder was allowed three strokes ( seems like Baseball, dudn"t it) the first stroke may or may not have dispatched the hapless Queen, it certainly made her unconscious= strike two completely severed the head from the body and when lifted by one of the guards, her red wig fell away also- a third stroke was deemed not necessary- Mary was a lifeless wreck.

Why does Mary queen of Scots deserve her name bloody Mary?
She didn't, Mary Queen of Scots and Bloody Mary were two different people. Mary, Queen of Scots was born on 8th December 1542, became Queen when her father died on 14th December 1542 (yes, she was just six days old) and reigned until her execution on 24th July 1567 for allegedly plotting to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England. Bloody Mary was Elizabeth I's older sister. She was born on 18th February 1516, became Queen of England on 19th July 1553 and reigned until her death on 17th November 1558. She was called Bloody Mary because during her reign nearly 300 so-called heretics were executed for failing to follow Roman Catholicism.
