How do you account for Mary’s inertia after Darnley’s murder? Does the author make a convincing case for it being due to a physical and mental breakdown?Ħ. Do you think that, after the conference at Craigmillar, she should have realized that Darnley’s life might be in danger?ĥ. Yet she had certainly not known of a similarly orchestrated plot against Rizzio. Some people think it incredible that Mary could not have known of the plot against Darnley, given that so many people were involved. Who was the most guilty: Elizabeth I for keeping Mary prisoner for nineteen years and then having her executed? Or Mary, for seeking aid from Elizabeth, whose crown she coveted, and for ceaselessly plotting her ruin?Ĥ. What were these? Would you say that Mary was the victim of circumstance and unscrupulous men, or of her own poor judgement?ģ.
In the author’s view, Mary made two fatal errors that blighted her life. How true is each view? And how much have these images obscured our view of the real Mary? What was the real Mary like?Ģ. The author describes four views of Queen Mary: the adulteress and murderess, the Catholic martyr, the romantic heroine, and the inept woman with poor judgement.
