Mary, Queen of Scots, was 'adulteress, liar and murderer'

Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was a lying adulteress who plotted with her lover to murder her husband, an intriguing new study claims.

The analysis by Lesley Smith, a medical historian, claims that Mary lied about being raped to explain her pregnancy and justify her third marriage after her second husband, Lord Darnley, was strangled in Edinburgh...

Her beauty and sexual attractiveness -- at 5ft 11in, Mary was about a foot taller than the average woman -- gave her cousin Elizabeth I all the more reason to eventually execute her for treason in 1587, Ms Smith said.

"All in all, Mary Queen of Scots was a very dangerous creature to the unmarried Protestant Elizabeth, and her physical presence made her positively intoxicating to anyone who met her."

The researcher analysed a report by Claude Nau, Mary's adviser and secretary, that she miscarried twins on July 24, 1567, at Loch Levan Castle, Kinross.

The Scottish queen was held prisoner by her own people at the castle after she married James Hepburn, fourth Earl of Bothwell, just 12 weeks after Darnley's murder.

She justified the marriage to Bothwell, a Protestant, by saying that she had to preserve her honour after he abducted and "ravished" her at Dunbar Castle. Bothwell was the prime suspect in the murder, but was acquitted in what is now widely regarded as a sham trial...

The miscarriage took place seven weeks after the wedding. However, it would have required modern microscopes and knowledge of foetal development to identify the babies as twins such an early stage of pregnancy, said Ms Smith.

Inquiring minds want to know, yes she was ‘adulteress, liar and murderer’, but “Did she sleep with Trump?”

Rape, power, money, evilness, murder and tall. More likely related to BJ. Hellary isn’t tall and far from beautiful.

Having one's head cut off will definitely take a few inches off one's overall height...

As I understand it, she was just a kid. Tall, naieve and manipulated. Not to say she didn’t become involved at some point.

Mary Queen of Scots was a Stuart, not a Tudor. Elizabeth had her executed because her claim to the throne was arguably stronger than Elizabeth’s own.
