| 2. |  Lord Darnley Henry Stuart  (1.Matthew1) was born on 7 Dec 1545 in Temple Newsam, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England; 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.

Thoroughly German in tastes and habits, he made periodic lengthy visits to Hanover, which always remained his primary concern, despite his dutiful efforts to attend to his new kingdom's needs. He remained unpopular in Britain, a fact that contributed to Jacobite plots to replace him with James II's son, James Edward Stuart, known as the Old Pretender.

Notes:
George III of Great Britain and Ireland, King of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg (r. 1760-1820), who presided over the loss of Britain's American colonies. He was also elector of Hanover (1760-1815) and by decision of the Congress of Vienna, King of Hanover (1815-20). After the dismissal of several ministers who did not satisfy him, the king found a firm supporter in Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford, Prime Minister from 1770 to 1782. Lord North executed the royal policies that provoked the American Revolution. The unsuccessful conclusion of that protracted conflict forced North to resign, and during the government crisis that followed when three cabinets came and went in less than two years. The King himself was almost induced to abdicate. In 1809 the king became blind. As early as 1765 he had suffered an apparent dementia, and in 1788 his derangement recurred to such a degree that a regency bill was passed, but the king recovered the following year. In 1811 he succumbed hopelessly to this dementia and his son, later George IV, acted as a regent for the rest of his reign.

Her 63 year reign was the longest in the history of England. Her descendants, including 40 grandchildren, married into almost every royal family of Europe.

The many years of her reign, often referred to as the Victorian age, witnessed the rise of middle class and were marked by a deeply conservative morality and intense nationalism. She was obsessed with the collecting of memorabilia of her family. She mourned her late husband, Albert, for more than 40 years.
