Mary, Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots was born in 1542. Henry VIII proposed that Mary marry Prince Edward , Henry VII's son, Which was broken off when Henry got upset that the Scots were trading with the French. Mary was then engaged to the French Dauphin and spent the next thirteen years of her life in France. After her time spent in France, Mary went to England as she believed she was next in line for the throne. Alas it was not to be, as she was put in the Tower of London. In 1587 she was executed for committing treason and plotting against Queen Elizabeth.
