Anna Popplewell (born on 16 December 1988) is an English actress. She portrayed Lady Lola on Reign.
In the 2013-2017 CW television series Reign, the character Lady Lola Fleming, played by Anna Popplewell, is based on Mary Fleming.
She is disowned by her family after King Francis publicly recognised their child. She received her dowry from her marriage with Lord Julien back from Lord Narcisse. She is beheaded for committing treason against the Queen of England, Elizabeth I.
Recently, Lola slept with Francis betraying Mary causing their friendship to fall apart. Lola was loyal to Mary when she went to English's court which ultimately costed her life.
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.
Lola gave birth to King Francis' first and only child, John Philip. Queen Mary agreed to be a Godmother to their child. King Francis officially recognized their son and conferred him the title of Baron, with lands and a chateau.
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.
Francis II loved Mary so much he allowed her to rule him as well as France after he became King in 1558. However, Mary was not destined to rule France. In 1560, Francis II died and Mary was sent back to Scotland by her mother-in-law, Catherine de'Medici.
Baby Derant is the daughter of Isobel Derant, who died after giving birth to her. She was delivered by Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland.
The marriage produced no children, and may never even have been consummated, possibly due to Francis's illnesses or undescended testicles.
After 19 years of imprisonment, Mary, Queen of Scots is beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in England for her complicity in a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth I.
Lady Aylee is most closely based on Mary Seton of the Four Marys. Although Aylee was the first lady to die, Seaton was the last of the group to do so.
The start of The Reckoning begins, as stated by Sebastian. Mary was pregnant with her first child and had been so for 6 weeks. Mary had a miscarriage, presumably from drinking too much alcohol, as it was not known to cause problems with pregnancy until the early 1900s.
Mary had no idea just how difficult life would become as she became of age, finally ready to rule. After four seasons, Reign was canceled by The CW. Luckily, the writers had a plan for just the occasion.
She's the first person to find about Lola's affair with Francis II and pregnancy. She was forced to marry Bash in Monsters. Kenna moved away because she was pregnant with General Renaude's child.
The series is based ever-so-loosely on the life of Mary Stuart, otherwise known as the Queen of Scots, and it isn't exactly what you'd call historically accurate.
Reign follows the fictional journey of young Mary Stuart, based on the real reigning monarch, Mary, Queen of Scots, who ruled Scotland for 25 years in the mid 16th century.
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 seeks revenge in Mercy. As Francis tries to find Mary's rapists, he decides to tell her the truth about how he was the one who killed Henry and of Narcisse blackmailing him. This strains their relationship even further and later on, Mary manages to kill her rapists with Conde's help.
Four years after Mary returned to Scotland, she fell madly in love with her half-cousin Henry, Lord Darnley. The two married and had a son who they named James. Darnley was supposedly a weak man and Mary gave him no real authority to rule.
Francis and Mary later went on to become king and queen of France, and Mary returned to Scotland only when Francis died of an infection. His death left Mary a widow at the age of 18. Five years after the death of her first husband came Mary's second marriage, to her cousin, Henry Stuart, Earl of Darnley.
