SPEAKER_08: warning. Today's episode contains a mention of sexual assault. Hello from Wonder Media Network. I'm Luvvie Ajayi-Jones. I'm a New York Times best-selling author, speaker and host of the podcast Professional Troublemaker. I'm so excited to be your guest host for this month of Womanica. This month we're highlighting Prodigies, women who achieved greatness at a young age. This is especially a passion point for me because my latest book Rising Troublemaker, a fear fighter manual for teens, reminds them that they are never too young to make a significant impact. Today we're talking about a woman who became a queen at a mere six days old. She ruled at a time when monarchs were mostly men and she led a complicated life in the public eye and navigated the drama of being royalty until her untimely death. Let's talk about Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary Stuart was born on December 8th, 1542 at Lynlithgow Palace in West Lothian, Scotland. Unfortunately, Mary's birth was quickly followed by tragedy. Six days after she was born, her father, James V of Scotland, died of unknown causes. Infant Mary became the Queen of Scotland overnight. By September 9th, 1543, she was officially crowned. Of course, being an infant queen meant that for a time, her mother, Mary of Ghez, ruled on her behalf. Mary Stuart was well connected. Henry VIII was her great uncle and Elizabeth Tudor was her cousin. Being well connected, however, came with its challenges. For the first time in a lifetime, following a defeated battle, the English and the Scots drew up a treaty declaring that Mary should marry the future Edward VI so that Scotland and England could make peace. Mary was barely a year old at the time and Edward was six. This plan was quickly squashed when Scottish Parliament rejected it in favor of an alliance with France. To say Henry, Edward VI's father, was unhappy would be an understatement. In retaliation, Henry ordered attacks on Scotland that would later be called the Rough Woeing. Among the attacks encompassed in the Rough Woeing were incidents involving setting fire to James V's burial ground and crop burnings. During these raids, Mary was sent to live in France and was betrothed to Prince Francis of France. Despite Henry's best efforts, Mary's marriage to Francis happened. In 1558, at the ripe young age of 15, she was married. The following year, Francis succeeded to his father's throne, which meant that Mary was both the Queen of France and the Queen of Scotland. Francis' reign was short-lived. He died, still a teenager, less than two years after their marriage from an ear infection. Although she was dissuaded against it, Mary, now a teenage widow, returned to Scotland following the death of Francis. At the time, Scotland was in the midst of the Reformation period in which Catholics and Protestants were at odds. Mary herself was a Catholic and Scotland had been a Catholic country. But while Mary had been away, the country had become a Protestant country. Mary's half-brother, James, advised that she align with the Protestants despite her own religious leanings. Mary was able to rule successfully. But a few years into her return, she fell in love with and subsequently married her Catholic second cousin, Lord Darnley. Lord Darnley was charming in their courtship, but as soon as they were married, things drastically changed. His approach was to be well-behaved until a ring was on her finger. Quickly, Darnley became a drunken disaster and Mary was left to rule alone. He also became jealous of Mary's secretary and friend, David Rizzio. David and Mary both took an interest in music and poetry, and their friendship was something that Darnley's fragile masculinity simply could not handle. While Mary was pregnant, Darnley, accompanied by a number of conspirators, rushed into her dining chambers in the palace of Hollyrood House, threatened her, and then stabbed David to death in front of her. Several months after David's death, Mary's son, James Stewart, was born in Edinburgh Castle. To the alarm of Protestants in her country, she had her son baptized in keeping with the Catholic tradition. Less than a year after James' birth, Lord Darnley was murdered just outside in Edinburgh. James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, was accused of the murder but was acquitted. He then went on to become Mary's next husband. Some historians claim that the marriage was forced upon Mary and that Bothwell raped her. Married life with her late husband's alleged murderer wasn't much better than it was with Darnley. He was described as a rash and hazardous young man and had a fierce temper. Not only was her marriage unhappy, but the people of Scotland were also displeased with the Queen's decision to marry so soon after the death of her former husband. Her marriage to Bothwell meant the beginning of the end for Mary. In 1567, Scottish rebels attacked her army at Carberry Hill and she surrendered. Mary was then imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle and forced to abdicate the throne to her one-year-old son, James. Mary experienced short-lived freedom when she escaped and made a last-ditch effort to regain her throne in the Battle of Langside. Her troops were defeated and with hope of sympathy from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, she fled to England. Elizabeth was always paranoid about Mary's claim to power in England and so Elizabeth placed Mary under house arrest where she spent the next 19 years imprisoned in England. In 1587, at age 44, Mary was found guilty of plotting against Elizabeth and was beheaded at Fothering Hay Castle. These people's lives was trifling. Oh my God. Okay, I mean toxic. There's some toxic queens. My goodness. All month, we're highlighting prodigies. For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram at Wamanica Podcast.
