Yes, she did. She married Richard Anning and had 10 children

Written by me

I don't know whether or not she had a husband, but the previous answer which claims she married and had 10 children is incorrect. Richard Anning was her father. He and Mary Anning's mother had 10 children, only 2 of whom survived to adulthood - Mary and a brother.

Mary queen of Scots myths?

Nothing new under the sun, Comrade. One can imagine several myths- a Lady In waiting substituted for Her Majesty and Mary somehow escaped and the wrong woman was executed. ( I have not seen this in print but it seems like the type of Urban Myth). more probable one of Mary"s two ladies in waiting impulsively grabbed the lifeless Queen"s head and kept it as a priceless relic. for some reason it did not decompose- may have been mummifed or something ( Lady Elilzabeth Kennedy was the Lady involved) She kept Mary"s head preserved in her quarters ( what a weird piece of decor_ when the lady In waiting died, Mary"s head was propped up in her hands in the casket. there is no way to verify or negate these rumors or legends.The Romanov girls do not corner the market on myth and possibly true, legends.

Why did Elizabeth I imprison Mary Queen of Scots?

Although everyone assumed Elizabeth would marry and produce an heir to the English throne, she remained a "Virgin Queen." Despite her many suitors, including King Phillip II of Spain and Robert Dudley, she remained unmarried and childless. This sparked great concern among her advisors, as Mary Queen of Scots was a likely successor. Her Catholicism was a major threat to England and, as such, she was taken prisoner for 19 years under Elizabeth's reign. In 1587, Elizabeth's counsellors finally convinced her to execute Mary on charges that she had plotted to overtake the throne.

What did mary queen of scots wear when she died?

She dressed in scarlet, the colour of martyrdom. She had to be helped onto the scaffold as she was so frail. She spoke her last words in Latin and then putting her head onto the block said "Into your hands, O Lord" three times, again in Latin. It took two goes with the axe to remove her head. When the executioner lifted up her head, he found that he had a wig in his hand and the actual head was still on the scaffold. No-one had known that she had lost her hair. Then her body moved. Underneath her skirt, a small dog, a Skye terrier, was seen. Mary had brought her dog to her own execution..........

In 1612, her son and the now king of England, James, brought his mother's body to Westminster Abbey where she was buried in a magnificent tomb.

Why was queen bloody Mary so important to the renaissance?

Mary Tudor more commonly known as 'Bloody Mary' had a great impact in History. For example she beheaded or burned anyone who refused to follow the Catholic faith after her Father's death eighteen years earlier and her recent half-brothers, Edward the VI. Once announced Queen of England she beheaded Lady Jane Grey whom had taken the throne for nine days after being forced to take it by her pushy horrible Father in law and her husband. as a child Lady Jane studied with her friend who was a few years older, Lady Elizabeth who was to become the Great Elizabeth Queen of England after Queen Mary's death of stomach cancer. Elizabeth had to take the throne after her half-sister died from the disease that was thought to have been pregnancy. Queen Mary Tudor left Enlgand bankrupt so that it made it hard for Elizabeth's rule to start as Queen. Mary and her Spanish husband, Philip of Spain, who had taken a mistress in Calais in France which was part of Queen Mary's death, used Englands money and riches so that they could fight a war that obviously defeated before it had started. Queen Mary was around thirty-five when she took England by the reigns and tried to turn it into the country that her Father had when he was King of England, which would have had another harsh impact on her reign. She was found to not be able to give birth and she, after almost at death, finally handed over her bankrupt, dying country to Elizabeth who had no idea of how bankrupt and in debt it was.

In total, Queen Mary sucked England dry from money and it was shrunk until Elizabeth got on her feet and turned it into a virgin-run land. All in all, Enlgand was made bankrupt then turned inot a pleasant, livable country after Queen May died.
