| | Mary, Queen of Scots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Her father, James V passed away 6 days after her birth, stating "it come wi' a lass, it gang wi' a lass" meaning the Stuart Dynasty was started with Margory Bruce and would end with his daughter, Mary. |
 | | Mary remained a prisoner, and the lords who had themselves usurped power, and had been concerned in the crimes in which she was accused of participating, declared that she should be dethroned on account of her misgovernment, and compelled her to resign the crown to her infant son. |
 | | Her friends, including the Hamiltons, the Earl of Huntly, Lord Herries, and some of the noblest families in Scotland, were unable to help her, thou-h they insisted that she should be restored to the throne under equitable conditions. |
