History of Scotland

Alexander Graham Bell(1847-1922) was born Scottish, immigrated to Canada, moved to the the United States to fight legal battles over his invention and lived in both Canada and the U.S.A. for the rest of his life until he died in Nova Scotia Canada. He also invented the telephne in Banford , Ontario in 1874.

well for most of us in the usa it was the foundation of our families in the south the Scots-Irish where the main settlers whene Europe first conolized america so for most of us Scotland gave us life whether you like it or not

Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I never met in reality, although it has been portrayed in films, it did not happen.

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.

There was no Battle of Stirling, it was the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

There is no evidence that Wallace ever met Robert the Bruce or the French Princess.

Both were considered beautiful at the time, although I believe that Mary was said to be a bit more pretty of the two.

It is an extremely interesting questions because both women possed an almost identical colouring. Both had long thick lustrous glossy red-gold hair, large and expressive dark sexually magnetic eyes, an extremely fine pale complexion and rosy lips. And both had very slender figures. Although personally I think Mary Stuart being ten years younger then Elizabeth and also having a very cozened lifestyle, especially compared to the emotionally unstable and traumatic lifestyle of Elizabeth, was the prettier of the two. Elizabeth's features,although beautiful were often very hard and strong. And whereof Mary dressed in colours that emphasised her beauty. Elizabeth would often dress to make a political point of view.

No, nor during any other century. Given the earliest references to bagpipes or representations (Melrose/Roslin) in Scotland date from the 14th century not sure how they would come to be banned. The most famous myth about banning concerns the 18th century and post Culloden (proscription act, James Reid etc, read other posts) and they weren't banned then either.

John Logie Baird died on June 14, 1946 at the age of 57.

No.

Mary Queen of Scots was the daughter of Elizabeths first cousin, both being descendants of King Henry VII.

Elizabeth did have a half-sister Mary, who was Queen Mary I of England (Bloody Mary) and a different person from Mary Queen of Scots.

Yes they were- that is why Elton composed a variation of 'Candle In The Wind' dedicated to Diana after her death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. He was devastated when she was killed, it was a big shock to him.

Elizabeth I of England and Mary, Queen of Scots were cousins.

She didn't hate her until her reign started. Instead she was very fond of her when they were younger. She taught her how to play the lute, they exchanged gifts and played cards together.

Mary also warned her for Thomas Seymour and urged her not to live with Catherine Parr and him.

This is interesting, since she had a lot of reason to hate Elizabeth's mother and view her as nothing but a bastard.

When Mary became queen, she was at first still friendly to her. Later she began to perceive her as a threat to her marriage and the catholic faith. This in part because Elizabeth was very dubious about conversion. People who were discontent with Mary, all saw in Elizabeth a happy alternative and began to plot for Mary's demise.

Well I know where he went to University it was in a place in Glasgow its called Glasgow University to study B.Sc. degree.

Not that many, really. She wasn't very lucky or shrewd in choosing her husbands, and her choices never worked out or got her in trouble with the nobles in her kingdom or with other States, particularly England. After having been forced to abdicate in favor of her son James, she escaped to England, but neither her claim to the English throne nor her championship of the Catholic faith made her many friends there, certainly not at the court of Queen Elisabeth. She died basically without ever having achieved anything worth mentioning, apart from having her son, who was to become king of England and Scotland after Elisabeth's death.

James VI of Scotland went on to become James 1st of England following the death of Queen Elizabeth I, who died childless. This put an end to the Tudor Dynasty which was of Welsh origin, but James was a cousin of Elizabeth and so the nearest living relative to inherit the title of King of England and establish the Stuart Dynasty, obviously of Scots origin. Queen Elizabeth 2nd is related to him via his daughter by the following means: James 1st married Anne of Denmark in 1589 and they had three children, Henry Frederick, Elizabeth, and Charles. Henry Frederick served as Prince of Wales but died childless at the age of just 18- Charles went on to become Charles 1st of England and was the father of Charles 2nd, but Charles 1st was executed by Oliver Cromwell in 1649 at the end of the English Civil War, forcing Charles 2nd to flee abroad. Elizabeth went on to marry Frederick V, a German nobleman who became Elector of the Palatinate in Germany and went on to very briefly become King of Bohemia, with Elizabeth as his Queen. After the Restoration of the English Monarchy in 1660, Charles 2nd became King of England, but although he had many illegitimate children, he never had any directly via marriage. When he died, he was succeeded by his brother James 2nd. James's daughter Mary became Queen following her marriage to William III of Holland, but because of the tradition of having male preference to the throne, William was held to be joint ruler with Mary as oppose to being just her consort. That monarchical period is known as the time of 'William and Mary'. Their daughter, Queen Anne, died childless in 1714 (she had seventeen children, but all died in infancy). This put an end to the Stuart dynasty, leaving only the descendants of Elizabeth of Bohemia (James 1st's daughter) as claimants to the English throne. Elizabeth had a daughter, Sophia of Hanover, who's son was George Ludwig. He then became the English King as George 1st under the Act of Settlement, as being the nearest Protestant relative to the English royal line. The reign of the 'Georges' lasted until 1830 with the death of George 4th- his younger brother William succeeded the throne as William IV but had no children, so his niece Victoria acceded the throne in 1837 when William died. Queen Elizabeth 2nd is her direct descendant. This is how James 1st of England (and 6th of Scotland) is related to Queen Elizabeth 2nd. Her descent from the Stuart line is indirect, and her relationship to the Tudors is even more so.

Mary I, Elizabeth's half sister, threw Elizabeth I in prison because Elizabeth I was actually the rightful heir (Nothing to do with the stuff that grows out of your head) to the throne.

:)

King George the V sat on the throne of the British Empire in 1914. His Queen consort was the German princess, May of Teck. Upon marriage to Georgie as King George was known amongst his family she became first, the Duchess of York and upon the death of her father in law who ruled as Edward VII she became Queen Mary. Interestingly, Queen Mary was first betrothed to George's elder brother Albert Victor The Duke of Clarence and Avondale as the eldest son of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, Albert Victor was the heir apparent until his untimely death from Typhoid fever in 1892. In dying he bequeathed his bride, Princess May and his position in the Order of Succession as heir to the throne of England to his younger and rather lackluster albeit dutiful brother George.

Mary Tudor also known as "Bloody Mary"
Elizabeth I had an older half sister named Mary. Elizabeth II has a younger sister named Margaret.

No, Mary was Catholic and Elizabeth, being Protestant, resented Mary for it. During Mary's reign she converted all of the Spanish back to Catholicism just when the majority of the Spaniards were joining the Protestant movement. Mary also sent her half-sister to the country side during her rule because the two could not stand one another.

Elizabeth was a Protestant Queen, making England a Protestant country, whereas Mary was a devout Catholic. Although there were Protestants in England at the time, there were also many Catholics who supported Mary as Queen. Since from the Catholic viewpoint Henry VIII and Catherine of Argon's marriage was never annulled. That would have made Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn's child, illegitimate, since at the time of her conception, Catherine was not dead and still the wife of Henry. She could have been considered a bastard by many people. Mary, Queen of Scots, would have been her closest relative, making her the biggest threat to Elizabeth's throne. In order to protect it, she had Mary beheaded. Elizabeth later claimed the execution papers were to only make Mary nervous so she would back off. Any way, the order was carried out, even if it wasn't supposed to be.

Queen Elizabeth I approved the beheading of Mary (ex Queen Mary I of Scotland) at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587. Mary's son James VI of Scotland was name Elizabeth's successor.

It was Queen Elizabeth I Ya'll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yo, this is BORING!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, that was soooooo obvious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the question was this Mary's husband died from war-related injuries which his insurance pla prbably covers may and her son?

and the answer is

A) civilian health and medical program of the veterans administration (champva)

According to the right of succession, Mary Queen of Scots was in line to succeed Elizabeth, since Elizabeth had no children. Mary was Catholic, so Elizabeth had her imprisoned and executed. When Elizabeth died, Mary's son James did indeed succeed to the throne, uniting the crowns of Scotland and England, but he did not favor his Catholic subjects. The Gunpowder Plot was the result of their bitter disappointment over this.

He is a Nemesis, the man fated to bring Macbeth down.

The play that delt with Scottish History was Macbeth, a story of a man who goes crazy and kills his father to take his place as king, I read the Bard of Avon. That book is all about Shakespeare
