Did the Scots rebel when Mary queen of Scots died?

They probably would have done & some were outraged that King James VI did nothing to avenge his mother's death. But James was keen to maintain good relation with Queen Elizabeth I (which possibly helped to his succeeding her following her death in 1603). Following Mary's execution, Elizabeth sent James a letter of apology claiming she didn't mean for the signed death warrant to be delivered. This seems to have placated James. Hope this helps.

Was Mary queen of Scots a protestant?

Definitely not. Mary Queen of Scots was a devout Catholic all her life. This was one of the problems the Scots had with her as a queen as by the time Mary returned from France following the death of her first husband, Francis II, Scotland had become a Protestant county. When Mary fled to England to seek help from her cousin Elizabeth I, her religion lead her to be the focus for any Catholic plot against Elizabeth - which was consequently why she was eventually executed in 1587. Hope this helps.

After Mary leaves him she falls in love with Bothwell and the two of them plan to murder Darnley. It may have been that Darnley was a real threat and that it was for a good reason, or on the other hand it may have been that Bothwell was the more aggressive one and talked her into it. Some say that Bothwell even raped her and forced her to go with him to England. Either way it didn't end well for the poor queen.
