		Rizzio seemed to approve of this counsel, and promised to follow it; but he afterward told Melville, that he had spoken to the queen on the subject, and that she would not consent to any change, but wished every thing to go on as it had done.
		Rizzio exerted all his influence in favor of the marriage, and thus both strengthened his influence with Mary and made Darnley his friend.
		Darnley replied that Rizzio had supplanted him in her confidence and thwarted all his plans, and that Mary had shown herself utterly regardless of his wishes, under the influence of Rizzio.

	Stewart Society
		David Rizzio (also Riccio, Richio, etc., c.1534-1566) was born at Pancalieri in Piedmont, northern Italy, about the year 1534, though he is sometimes said to have been older.
		Rizzio was a foreigner, a Catholic, of obscure birth and his influence over the queen was bitterly resented by her whole court.
		The unfortunate Rizzio, having already been stabbed once in the queen's presence, was dragged screaming into the next room and finished off in a brutal manner, every conspirator taking turns at the dreadful deed, and 'in their hasty jabbing often wounding one other'.

		Rizzio, full of confidence in himself, and seeing in the queen’s desire a road to success, hastened to obey her command, sang before her, and pleased her.

	Mary Stuart by Alexandre Dumas: CHAPTER II
		In reality, to whatever cause Rizzio owed his power (and to even the most clear-sighted historians this point has always remained obscure), be it that he ruled as lover, be it that he advised as minister, his counsels as long as he lived were always given for the greater glory of the queen.
		Thus Darnley was not mistaken, and it was indeed Rizzio who, in despair at having helped to bring about a union which he foresaw must become so unfortunate, gave Mary the advice not to give up any of her power to one who already possessed much more than he deserved, in possessing her person.
		He thought that in ridding himself of Rizzio he could not fail to gain the day, since, as he believed, he alone was opposing the grant of this great desire of his, the crown matrimonial.

	Rizzio and Darnley
		Rizzio was suspected by many courtiers as being a papist spy and this may have been an additional reason for his murder.
		Mary was disgusted with Darnley and his involvement in the murder of Rizzio and she soon fell in with the blandishments of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell (1536-1578).
		Incriminating evidence was found in the garden of a dress slipper or shoe, called a `mullis` which was identified by a cordiner (shoemaker) in the Canongate as one he had made for Maitland of Lethington, thus implicating him in the murder.

		Douglas’s first idea had been to treat Rizzio as the favourites of James III had been treated at the Bridge of Lauder-that is to say, to make a show of having a trial and to hang him afterwards.
		Then David Rizzio, seeing that it was he alone they wanted, threw himself on his knees behind the queen, seizing the hem of her robe and crying in Italian, “Giustizia!
		As to him,” he added, holding up Rizzio’s head by the hair, whilst the bastard of Douglas lit up the face with a torch so that it could be recognised, “you see who it is, and whether it is worth your while to get into trouble for him”.

		They had long disliked Rizzio; he was a Catholic, he was foreign, and they leapt to the conclusion that he must be a spy for a Catholic power intent on conquering Scotland and reimposing Catholic uniformity.
		Thus the assassination could be presented as a matter of honor, while Mary would get the message that she could not afford to displease the conspirators.
		Darnley restrained his wife, while Rizzio was hauled, writhing, from the room to a gruesome death from some fifty dagger thrusts.

	Mary Stuart in Nineteenth-Century British Drama
		Works that treat her relationship with Rizzio in greater detail tend to find her innocent: Just as Terrell's David Rizzio, William Sotheby's 1814 tragedy The Death of Darnley shows the Queen as a helpless woman lost among the cunning enemies at her court, this time with Bothwell as the key schemer.
		Thus, although Rizzio is murdered because of his attachment to Mary, the two plays emphasise that this is not the fault of her attraction but of the malevolent lords who pursue the Queen and all who are close to her.
		In keeping with her role in the Rizzio affair, Sotheby's Mary is a model wife who forgives her husband's part in the murder of her secretary and wants to protect him when she feels his life might be threatened by the nobles of her court.

		Rizzio, to whom the sight of Morton had been as the removal of his last illusion, flung himself upon his knees before the Queen.
		And meanwhile, with poor Rizzio’s last cry of “justice!” still ringing in her ears, Mary sat alone in her chamber, studying revenge as she had promised.
