James, instead, took Acadia with him as he became the King of England as well, and that body of rocks became a sizeable chunk of the later United States. We call it NEW YORK and MASSACHUSETTS!
Plymouth was carved out of Virginia. The boundary line between Acadia and VIrginia extends from the tip of Cape Cod Westward to Chicago. The boundary between Acadia and New France was never clearly marked although it was fought over many times. The first war recorded was about 1613
Mary was betrothed to a French dolphin
Was he faster than lightning?
As a fervent Catholic, should she have been buried in a Protestant church?

Anyone interested in Mary Queen of scots should read her bio by Lady Antonia Fraser...very well done...a sad figure in history.
According to one biography I read (Fraser), Mary shocked those present at her execution when she removed her outer garment before she was beheaded. Her petticoat was blood red — not white. This was a piece of drama designed by Mary, herself, so that her blood would not show.
When the executioner grabbed her red hair to hold her head aloft, her head slipped out of her wig and fell to the ground. Her own hair was pure white, much to the shock of the observors.
The third piece of drama (as if an execution wasn’t enough) was her little dog which was hiding under her skirts and refused to leave her body afterward.
aka Bloody Mary.
Great..............Grandma.
