| 12. | Lord Darnley Henry Stuart was born on 7 Dec 1545 in Temple Newsam, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (son of 4th Earl of Lennox Matthew Stuart and Margaret Douglas); died on 9/10 Feb 1567 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Notes:
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.

Mary became a prisoner of Queen Elizabeth I and in the ensuing intrigues to rescue her and place her on the throne of Elizabeth, the most famous was that of Mary's page, Anthony Babington, who plotted to assassinate Elizabeth. The conspiracy was discovered, and Mary was brought to trial in October 1586. She was sentenced to death on October 25, but not until Feb. 1, 1587 did Elizabeth sign the warrant of execution. She was beheaded a week later.
