Mary Stuart (originally Stewart) better known as Mary, Queen of Scots. Her extremely eventful life (and death) have been immortalised on the big screen in several Hollywood movies, television series and books. That amazing story all started in our very own Linlithgow Palace.
Following the death of the his first wife Queen Madeleine, King James V of Scotland sent Cardinal Bethune to Paris. This was to find him a new French bride. His chosen spouse was Marie of Guise. In June 1538 in St. Andrews, the wedding ceremony of James and Marie took place. Cardinal Bethune crowned Marie as Queen of Scotland. Their first son, James, Duke of Rothesay, was born on 22 May 1539, followed by Arthur, Duke of Albany, on 27 April 1541. Tragically both died within a few days/weeks respectively. On 8 December 1542, Marie gave birth to their daughter Mary. 6 days later, James V died on 14 December 1542 aged only 30.
Did you know? King James V (Mary’s father) was also born in Linlithgow Palace on 10 April 1512.
Aged just nine months Mary was crowned Queen of Scots. The ceremony was conducted in September 1543 in the Chapel Royal of Stirling Castle.
