Mary Queen of Scots impacted history as a scandalous Queen of Scotland who's second husband was murdered and her third husband the suspected murderer. She was forced to abdicate in favor of her young son who grew up to be the uniting monarch James I of England(VI of Scotland).
Mary Queen of Scots mostly has her decapitation to thank for her long-living fame. Killing a God-anointed Queen was considered an abomination and her death sent shock waves through the civilized world at the time.
Taking an unbiased look at her historical significance gives another outcome, however. As Queen of Scotland, she was largely ineffective in pacifying or uniting the feuding clans and succeeded mostly in becoming the center of various scandals, often as a result of having a spectacularly bad taste in men.
When she finally flew to England, begging for the protection of her niece Elisabeth I, most of Scotland was happy to be rid of her. But when England got into conflicts with Catholic nations like France and Spain she was foolish enough to send out signals that as a Catholic Queen she might be an excellent alternative for the Protestant Elisabeth.
Aiding and abetting the enemy is treasonable, then as now. Elisabeth first reacted by imposing stern restrictions on Mary's contacts with the outside world. But Mary continued to present herself as an alternative for Elisabeth and a champion for the Catholic cause. A (very reluctant) Elisabeth felt that she had no other choice than to have her tried for High Treason, with Mary's death penalty as a result.
because her father died six days after she was born so she became queen of Scotland she was originally known as Mary queen of Scots.
She is one of the most known British queens in history. The royal family decend from her.(Queen Elizabeth II is her 10th great-granddaugther.)
