Who ordered the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots?

A crown executioner at Fotheringhay Castle (no longer extant) in 1587. History does not record the identity of this man. The execution instrument was an axe. He wore a mask or hood. The protocols allowed for three swings of the axe. The first strike may or may not have killed the Queen as it landed on her neck. The second blow neatly(?) severed her head from her neck and as it was held up her wig fell off. A third strike was not necessary. This was a horrible historical event and shows how serious capital punishment was taken (and applied) in the olden times. (A modern lethal injection is almost cosmetically smooth!). One author suggests, as all of her clothing that was on her at the time of the execution was burned or otherwise destroyed to avoid any relics problems, the tragic Queen may have suffered the further indignity of having been buried in the nude. This was very strongly implied by one of Mary's best biographers. blablabla

What is the name of the man who did the beheading of Mary Queen of Scot?

We Don"t Know. He was an executioner of the Crown and presumably an Officer of the Royal Army(British,not Scottish)or constabulary (Police agency) he wore a Mask and other costume devices to mask his identity. the execution weapon was an AXE/The Protocol was the Exeuctioner had THREE STROKES allowed to do the job, no connections to Mr. Doubleday! The First stroke may or may not have killed the captive Queen, but the second strike completely severed her head from her body. The executioner or one of his aides then held up the head of the dead Queen and when doing thisher Red wig(Doubtless soaked in her blood) fell off There was no need for a Third strike! In comparison modern execution technicques semm positively humane and almost laundromat-like (For example lethal injections). Times Change! Read the last chapters of (mary Queen of Scots by one of the popular female authors, who was nicknamed (lady Madonna of the tennis courts) its a powerful indictment of an historical case of capital punishment, and in stark, real detail!=Author is Antonia Frazier or Fraser/ Block buster book!(no pun intended) and this was religiously motivated state violence, not accidental battle damage in Wars.
