Has gone down in history as the queen of England who was married more times, and he had four husbands in total, of which Henry VIII was the third. After the king's death, she married Thomas Seymour, uncle of Edward VI of England . Enrique Needless to say, in addition to its six (6) wives had several mistresses, one of them the sister of Anne Boleyn, but with none of them had children.

Dead 28/01/1547 Henry, his successor was his direct onlinethird son, Edward. " Under the Succession Act 1544, the crown was inherited by the only son, Edward, who became

Edward VI, as the first Protestant monarch England. With only nine years old, it could not power itself, which went to a regency council consisting of sixteen members elected by the will of Henry VIII.

If this in turn had no offspring to inherit the royal crown the daughter of Anne Boleyn, Isabel. Finally, if Elizabeth died childless, would be succeeded by Mary Stuart, cousin of King Henry VIII or their descendants. " (1)

Now we know what was the relationship between The Tudors, or Henry VIII and hischildren and Mary Stuart.

Edward VI died at sixteen (16) years in accordance with the will of his father, succeeded Mary Tudor, the daughter of his first wife and deeply tasted , lic. Mary made all efforts to stop the Protestants of England, which brought English advisers, experts in the Inquisition, to help him with the task to return England to Catholicism. Mary Tudor is not well remembered in England and is known by the nickname Bloody Mary.

Before his death, his advisers English made to arrest her younger sister Isabel and several times brought him the death sentence for his signature, in order to not have another Protestant queen of England. Mary never signed that statement and on the contrary, when sensed the nearness of his death, he called Isabel, "the bastard" to tell her that she had the power to run, but not going to do it. Before dying, and to allow her to continue in succession, Elizabeth made him swear never would take the people of England the devotion & amp; oacute; na the Virgin Mary.

Now if, let's focus on Mary Stuart.

Little Mary, just six days old, was proclaimed Queen of Scotland, with

James Hamilton, Earl of Arran II as the next in line to the throne and regent of the kingdom during the minority of the Queen. This situation lasted until 1554 , when Mary's mother, Mary of Guise, he comes to power, continuing as regent until his own death in 1560. Six months after his birth in July of 1543, the Greenwich treaties CH TMLXC Mary Stuart promised in marriage to Edward, son of King Henry VIII of England , deciding that the wedding was held in llevaríaa 1552 , and that his heirs would occupy the thrones of Scotland and England.

Well, things did not go to Mary in Scotland.

Being very young, Henry VIII decided to invade Scotland and his mother had changed her plans. To protect or not the captured Henry, sent to France.

The

September 10 of 1547, known as " Black Sabbath," the Scottishwere defeated by Henry in the battle of Pinkie Cleugh . Mary of Guise, fearful for the safety of her daughter sent her to France. The new French king, Henry II now proposing to unite France and Scotland by marrying the little Queen to his newborn son, the dauphin Francis. This seemed to Mary of Guise, the only solution to all their troubles. The August 7 C HTMLXC 1548, the French fleet sent by Henry II, he returned back to France from Dumbarton, brought the little Queen of Scots, 5 years old get . Mary of Guise and her daughter Mary Stuart will not ever meet again. To summarize, Henry II died prematurely and was succeeded by his son Francis II, who by then had married Mary Stuart. With the rise of France Francis to the throne in 1559, Mary Stuart became Queen of France, Queen of Scots strippeday successor to the throne of England.

Life of Mary Stuart was intense since birth. A year after becoming queen of France, her husband dies and the French did not recognize her as queen. He was only 18 years old and had been Queen of Scotland and France, but a queen of make believe, because little could exercise its authority and taste the delicacies to be prevailing in those periods.

Mary Stuart returned to Scotland and was accepted as CHTML reigns XC August 19

of 1561. Religion had divided the people, and the illegitimate brother of Mary, James Stewart, Earl of Moray, was the leader of the Protestant faction. Mary, a devout Catholic, was supported by English Catholics and look with suspicion by Elizabeth I , a cousin of his father and king of the neighboring Protestant country. To the disappointment of the Catholic party, Mary did not take firm to take the case cgruel. Tolerated the Protestant order established and supported his half-brother, the Earl of Moray, as his chief adviser. In this, the queen had to acknowledge their lack of effective military control before the Protestant lords. Even agreed, on the advice of James of Moray, the implementation of the principal noble Catholic Scotland Lord Huntly, in 1562

. The July 29 of 1565 in pHolyrood straightening , unexpectedly married Mary Henry Stuart, Duke of Albany, known as Lord Darnley, descended as she King Henry VII of England and cousin. This union, with a leading Catholic leaders, rushed to the half brother of Mary, the Earl of Moray, to organize with other Protestant Lords in open revolt

Marriage to Darnley no fuand successful. Had a son whom they named as James, double suction to the thrones of Scotland and England, Darnley kinship with Henry VIII. Darnley, who promoted a rebellion against Mary, was murdered and Mary's contemporaries pointed to it as the determinadota of his death, although this was never proven.

then be acting even Queen of Scotland, was abducted , whether voluntarily or not, Bothwell and his men, and taken to Dunbar Castle

. The May 6 returned to Edinburgh and the day May 15 at the Palace of Holyrood, were married in a Protestant ceremony. The nobility turned against Maria and Bothwell and raised an army against them. The newlyweds were faced with the Lords in Carberry Hill

the June 15, but in the end there was no battle, because Mary agreed to comply with its orders, the condition securcute, n let him go to Bothwell. The nobles broke his promise and took her to Edinburgh, and imprisoned in the castle Loch Leven is situated on an island in the center of Loch Leven. Among the 18 and July 24 of 1567 , Mary suffered an abortion twin in that castle. Finally, the July 24, she was forced to abdicate the thronekick for his son James, barely a year old.

Once concreted the abdication, Mary flees to England without her son, who probably never see again no more and took refuge there . Three days after arriving, was captured by the British army on May 19, 1568.

As we recall, to date, Elizabeth had no children and Mary Stuart was the successor to the English throne, in case of death of Elizabeth.

Much of Catholic Europe reconocíaa not Isabel, "the bastard" as Queen of England, especially because during his rule took shape the schism with the Catholic Church for good. This made Isabel look askance at his cousin Mary, whom he regarded as a conspirator.

Elizabeth had several attacks, some of them ordered from the Vatican, perhaps by the Pope himself. It is likely that Mary did not have to see or to those attacks, norin any conspiracy against Elizabeth, but all the circumstantial evidence pointed towards it.

the end, after nineteen years (19) in captivity, February 8, 1587 was beheaded by order of Elizabeth, after many trials against . Even before death was declared to be persecuted and martyred Catholic.

taught to us as children, that Mary Stuart was a martyr of the Catholic faith and was v & iacute; STEM wicked, bloody and murderous, the bastard, Elizabeth I of England. It really was not. Mary, during his short reign in Scotland, although he was Catholic, was indifferent to the Protestants. Moreover, his third marriage to a Protestant, the Protestant rite. So the facts show that his Catholicism was not the maximum value from your life. By contrast, true or false, the circumstantial facts during his captivity in England, accused of conspiracy against Elizabeth. Even his enemies accused him of instigating the attacks against Elizabeth, because as you know, when Elizabeth died, Mary would be a great benefit.

Finally Mary was beheaded and the time Elizabeth I died without having children. Elizabeth's successor was James, the son of Mary Stuart, who has reigned in Scotland and since then was also king of England.

Mary Stuart was Queen of Scotland and France. He aspired to the kingdoms of England and Ireland and ambition circumstances led to a prison in England and his subsequent execution, not for being Catholic, but his ambition for maluck, because all the circumstantial facts to it as conspiracy against Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The Catholic Church has attempted to Mary Stuart at the altar, but if you read carefully the document is not seen as a very convinced Catholic, according to their performances. Mary Stuart was not a saint nor a demon. It was a human being with faults and qualities, rather unlucky in politics, however being born with every advantage. Nor can we judge a priori Elizabeth. The story goes that she, though I never personally met her cousin, avoidrunning for many years, until his case was untenable by the evidence of conspiracy, that's true or not, pointing to Mary Stuart.
