  Mary of Guise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie de Guise (in English, Mary of Guise) (November 22, 1515 June 1560) was the Queen Consort of James V of Scotland and the mother of Mary, Queen of Scots.
It was Marie de Guise who effectively ruled Scotland as Regent for Queen Mary, who was sent to France at age 5 to be raised with her husband-to-be, the son of the French king Henry II.
Marie's regency was threatened, however, by the growing influence of the Scottish Protestants, supported secretly by Elizabeth I of England, and was effectively deposed on religious grounds.

Mary determined to leave the land of her adoption and to seek that of her birth, but during the time since she had left it, an infant of five years old, everything was changed.
Mary was a widow, only nineteen years of age, and with opinions entirely at variance with those which had grown up amidst the people whom she came to rule.
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.

Mary was married to the Dauphin Francois on 24 April, 1558 at Notre Dame.
On the accession of Elizabeth I of England, who in Catholic eyes was a bastard, Mary's father-in-law quartered the arms of England with those of the Queen of Scots, thereby declaring her the true heiress to England and casting the gauntlet of challenge at the feet of Elizabeth's right to the English throne.
For the present, Mary was the cosseted darling of the French court, the doting Henri II wrote 'The little Queen of Scots is the most perfect child I have ever seen.' He corresponded frequently with Marie of Guise, expressing his delight in his young daughter-in-law.

Mary was half French, her mother a daughter of the powerful French house of Guise, and to Marie France would always be home.
It was time young Mary met her French relatives, tasted the culture of a truly civilized court – and fulfilled French wishes by entering her betrothal to the young Dauphin of France.
But in the meantime, with Mary safe in France, Marie de Guise would hold the country in trust, struggle fiercely against the Protestant forces which wanted to undermine the Pope's authority, and keep the country safe until her daughter's minority was finished.
