• Notes

  ********** (The following is from "The Munro Beacon" - Vol. 35, No. 3 - "Reign of the House of Stewart (Stuart)" - by Liam Paterson.) «i»Mary is probably the best known of Scotland's monarchs due to the dramatic and tragic nature of her reign. After her father's death she was promised in marriage to Henry VIII's son, Edward. This did not go down well with most of Scotland so instead she was sent to live in France and, in 1558 she married the French dauphin, François. After her husband's death, she returned to Scotland, but for a Catholic monarch who was also a woman, turbulent, Protestant Scotland was unlikely to be an easy place to rule. After numerous disastrous events (including possibly colluding in the death of her new husband, Lord Darnley) she ended up imprisoned in England at the mercy of her cousin, Elizabeth I. After plans for the assassination of Elizabeth were uncovered, Mary was executed at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 Feb 1587.«/i» ********** Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA
