In Scotland Mary met, fell in love with, and married Henry, Lord Darnley. She described him as "the lustiest and best-proportioned lang man" that she had ever met. They married in 1564 and soon afterwards Henry proved that his beauty was the limit of his positive characteristics.
Mary fell passionately in love with Henry, Lord Darnley, but it was not a success. Darnley was a weak man and soon became a drunkard as Mary ruled entirely alone and gave him no real authority in the country.
Darnley, indeed, was close in line to the thrones of both England and Scotland. It was not only, however, the impeccable royal lineage that made him attractive to Mary; she had fallen in love.
Mary Queen of Scots and Henry Stuart Lord Darnley
Mary, aged 22, described her 19-year-old groom as 'the lustiest and best proportioned long man that she had seen' but her infatuation was to be her downfall, and her initial happiness didn't last.
Francis, a year younger, adored Mary and she bore him a strong sisterly affection. He was a weak and sickly child, and it is unlikely that the marriage was ever consummated. Francis fell ill with an ear infection in November 1560 and was dead by 5th December, just over two and a half years after their union.
Francis is only in love with Mary. He only slept with Lola because he had a broken heart because of Mary's decision to end their engagement. Lola gave birth to Francis's son, Jean-Philippe. Mary is the godmother of Lola's son, Jean-Philippe.
Notes. Lady Lola and Prince Francis slept together believing they would never see each other again. Prince Francis married Queen Mary. Lola discovered that she was pregnant with Francis' child after their one night together in Paris.
On 9 March 1566, David Rizzio, secretary and (possibly) lover of Mary, Queen of Scots, was brutally murdered in the queen's bedchamber at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Mary wedded Francis, Dauphin of France on 24 April 1558. Francis II (age 15) with his wife Mary, Queen of Scots (age 17) in 1559.
Lord Darnley
Mary may have thought that Darnley would help her secure the English succession and perhaps even help her restore Catholicism to Scotland. Elizabeth was unlikely to have approved such a marriage. Elizabeth may have feared that in the future he would become Catholic King Henry IX.
Court speculated she was pregnant even before the wedding and that they had been having an affair before Darnley's death. There was also anger. Catholics in Scotland felt that the Queen was not committed to her religion because the wedding was a Protestant ceremony.
The murder of Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, took place on 10 February 1567 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Darnley's lodgings were destroyed by gunpowder; his body and that of his servant were found nearby, apparently having been strangled rather than killed in the explosion.
Francis confronted Mary to why she left and she told him of Nostradamus' prophecy. He found it to be superstition. She eventually ruined her relationship with Francis once she made Henry change the line of succession; she would marry Bash instead. Francis heartbroken and betrayed by Mary, leaves the French Court.
Spoiler: He chooses Mary, and the two of them have sex for the first time. As she tells him, “You are my choice and this is our moment.”
Mary, Queen of Scots became Queen of Scotland at six days old. In her lifetime, Mary married three times — her final husband causing her downfall.
Elizabeth hoped to control Mary through the union and keep Mary from coming for her crown. “Early on, Elizabeth had a lot of paranoia and jealousy about Mary, and she was torn between that and her desire to connect with Mary,” Mary Queen of Scots screenplay writer Beau Willimon tells PEOPLE in this week's issue.
Mary's husband, Lord Darnley, is said to have been jealous of their friendship because of rumours that Rizzio had impregnated Mary, and he joined in a conspiracy of Protestant nobles to murder him, led by Patrick Ruthven, 3rd Lord Ruthven.
Because he was Mary's lover. The jealous and gullible Darnley believed them, and agreed to take part in Rizzio's murder. He also agreed to uphold the Protestant religion, and to the return from exile of the other Protestant lords.
Henry Stuart, known as Lord Darnley (1545/6–1567), was the second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots and father of the future King James VI and I. Soon after the murder, Mary married Lord Bothwell, the chief suspect in the murder.
Though they were cousins, Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots never met. Ultimately, Mary was a threat to Elizabeth's throne. Mary was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII (the elder child of Henry VIII's sister) and next in line to the throne after Henry VIII's children.
John Philip is the illegitimate son born to his father, King Francis, and his mother, Lady Lola. He has been given lands and titles, including Baron of Velay. He lost his father to a gang of Scottish assassins and his mother was decapitated not long after, making him an orphan. He is now being raised at French court.
