After years of being imprisoned, Queen Mary of Scots has been beheaded  Fotheringhay Castle in England due to her being apart in a plot to murder her cousin Queen Elizabeth I. In the year 1568, Mary escaped from imprisonment in Scotland and tried to raise an army unfortunately Queen Mary of Scots was defeated so she quickly decided to flee to England.
Queen Mary’s cousin Queen Elizabeth I at first welcomed Mary with open arms. But then, put her on house arrest due to the constant talk about Mary becoming the next Queen Of England from the English Catholics and Spanish plots. 19 years later, a murder scheme was reported to Queen Elizabeth I and she immediately brought May to trial and sentence her to death for her involvement so she was beheaded.Queen of Scots Queen Mary From Scotland. Reined reigned over Scotland starting at 6 days old on December 14th, 1542 to the day of her beheading on  July 24th 1567. Queen Mary Had a wonderful life until her beheading. She had a son, and had 3 different husbands.After her late husband James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell passed away at age 44 at Dragsholm Castle after being imprisoned and held in horrible conditions by the king of Denmark in their time. James made a plan to seize England's throne and kill Queen Mary’s cousin Queen Elizabeth I. Because Queen Mary’s husband made the plan to kill Queen Elizabeth i and seize the throne she was ordered to be beheaded. Queen Mary of Scots was beheaded for treason. She officially got beheaded 19 years after cruel imprisonment February 8th 1587, at the Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow, United Kingdom.   Mary had previously claimed Elizabeth's throne as her own and was considered the legit next in line for the throne of England by many English Catholics and others. Considering  her as a threat, her cousin Queen Elizabeth I had her locked up in many different castles and manor houses in the interior of England so could she suffered.I felt really sad for Queen Mary of Scots. She had a horrible life to me besides the fact of having a son. She first had a great marriage with Francis the king of France. But later she had to marry her cousin who got mysteriously assassinated. She went to war with her nobles who were mad her, and then she lost and flew to England while her third husband got captured went mad and eventually died. Queen Mary went to England got caught in an conspiracy and got beheaded. To me I can’t imagine something worse than this. This is a terrible life.
