• Notes

  1 - Became King Francis II Francis II, King of France, was an idiot. Feeble-bodied he died at age 17, in December 1560, having never reached puberty. His attention span was short, his intellect ill-equipped for the weighty role of king. According to contemporary sources, the unlucky chap's testicles had not yet descended. He was narrow shouldered, and of stunted height, with reeking breath and unsightly red blotches on his face. One court regular described him as "pale and swollen, rather than fat" and "bilieux". 2 - In Apr 1558 she married Francois, then dauphin, the son of the French King. She secretly agreed to bequeath Scotland to France if she should die without a son. In Jul 1559 Francois succeeded his father and Mary became Queen of France as well as of Scotland. In addition, many Roman Catholics recognised Mary Stuart as Queen of England after Mary I died and the Protestant Elizabeth I succeeded her to the throne in Nov 1558.
