Mary Stuart Victim of Evil Political Conspiracies

I/ Born to be a puppet of her mothers and Scottish courts ambitions King James V of Scotland suffered so complete defeat in the Battle of Solway Moss on 24 November 1542 by his uncle King Henry VIII of England that even the birth of his only surviving legitimate child, Mary, could not raise him up.

Mary, at any price, must become French Dauphine in order to send French army to protect Scotland. To convince the current King of France, Henry II, Mary had to obey her mothers artifice of distorting Mary I of Englands condition as well as exaggerating the Church of Englands support to her heir to EnglishShow MoreRelatedWitchcraft And Women : Evaluation Of Gender Theories3055 Words   |  13 Pagesorgies or group sex, which were all labeled as deviant sexuality.
