In an effort to create an alliance with Scotland, King Henry VIII proposed a marriage between his young son Edward and the infant Mary. When his efforts failed, he launched a war on Scotland.
Ten years later she married Francis, son of Henry II, king of France, and his wife, Catherine de Medici. Unfortunately, this marriage did not last long as Francis died after only 2 years of marriage.
In 1565 Mary married her cousin Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, an English nobleman. The bridegroom was proclaimed Henry, King of Scots. Their only child was to become James 1 of England.
Henry, along with his servant, was found strangled to death after the gunpowder blast intended to take his life failed.
She fled to England to ask for help from her cousin Queen Elizabeth I. Instead, she was imprisoned.
