Mary's cousin, the Catholic Scottish nobleman Henry Stewart, Laird Darnley, was married with Roman Catholic rites. Mary had given him the title of King, but he now demanded that the crown be secured to him for life and that, if the queen died without children, it should descend to his heirs. Darnley was discovered strangled close by the scene of an explosion of the house where he lay sick. The explosion was by gunpowder, and Mary (it is suspected) was not wholly ignorant of the plot against Darnley.
Henry married Queen of Scots Mary Stuart on 29 Jul 1565 in Holyrood Palace. Mary (daughter of James V King Stewart, King of Scots and Mary de Guise) was born on 8 Dec 1542 in Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland; died on 8 Feb 1587 in Fotheringay Castle, Northamptonshire, England.

She was beheaded a week later.
