Did Mary Queen of Scots deserve to die?
yes! she never listened to anything her cousin said when trying to help her and she was doing everything for herself not for the catholic religion!
The way in which she ruled was unnacceptable, but no matter what she stil didnt deserve to die. All we know these days is what we have been told and to be honst it may not even be the truth. But from what we do know i would say if i was alive int hem times i would say she deserved to die. The fact that she was given advice but chose not to follow it plays a huge part in my desicion. She was rather selfish int he way that she did things for herself and not for her country or religion, although religion not as important as the people of her country (even though it did play a huge part in them times). If i was to give an honest opinion i would say yes as she deliberately chose not to follow advice she was given even though it was good and would have helped alot and didnt really take it seriously being queen. This could have somthing to do witht he fact taht she may nto have been ready to take over and rule a whole country.
Overall, yes!Why was Mary Queen of Scots beheaded?
Mary Stuart, known as Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for high treason under the charge that she had participated in a plot to eliminate Queen Elizabeth (there is much more to this story however). Mary was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII therefore she had a claim on the English throne. Being a fervent Catholic, she was allied with Philip II of Spain--a ruthless enemy of her sister-in-law Queen Elizabeth mainly because she was a Protestant. After Mary was executed, Philip II sent a mighty navy to invade England (which became know as the invincible armada). Only, it wasn't so invincible after all. Some decisive cirurgical [what is this word?] strikes by vastly outnumbered English ships and a major storm left most ships at the bottom of the ocean and the few remaining fleeing
Actually Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded because she was a catholic and a growing threat to Protestant England. I say a growing threat because it had become obvious that Elizabeth would not be producing an heir, and the unthinkable could happen Mary would become Queen of England. The trial was a farce. Nothing was produced to link her with Babington except `copies` of letters. As Mary said "Produce something with my handwriting and seal" The give away was by the Earl of Kent on the eve of her execution "You must die" he said "so that my faith will survive". Strangely enough after the death of Mary Tudor, Philip of Spain championed the claim of Elizabeth since Mary was allied to France and France and Spain were enemies. AS for the Armada, this was Philip tired of hsi ships being attacked by England and his threat of revenge. In fact half the ships had guns but the cannonballs did not fit and they were taken without a shot being fired.

What effect did Mary queen of Scots have on the world?
Mary Queen of Scots, or Mary I of Scotland, had only a little effect on world history. Although her attempt to depose Elisabeth I of England failed, her son took over the English throne anyway, so in terms of royal families, nothing would have changed. There may well have been a greater anti-Scottish feeling in England, though, had Elisabeth been removed by force. She cemented relations between France and Scotland (The Auld Alliance) by marrying King Francis, which proved useful for James VII and II, her great grandson, when he escaped after the Glorious Revolution in 1688, when William III and II of Orange took the throne. France would also be the launching pad of the Jacobite revolution, where Charlie rallied support back in Scotland for the '45 rebellion. Other then that she was considered by many in her time as a great woman, although John Knox complained about having a woman in charge...
