" XI QUEEN ELIZABETH AND MARY STUART The chief promoter of discord in the reign of Queen Elizabeth was the brilliant and beautiful Mary, Queen of Scots, the granddaughter of Margaret, elder sister of Henry VIII, who mar- ried the King of Scotland. Mary was therefore cousin of the English Queen and the next heir to the Throne. Mary had been brought up in France and had married the heir to the French Throne, becoming Queen Consort of France just after the accession of Elizabeth. She then styled h...erself " Queen of England, Scotland and France, " but did not at that time press her claims to the English Throne. Mary was eight years younger than Queen Elizabeth, well-educated, of attractive per- sonality, and had imbibed from the intriguing French Court a love of scheming, which she em- ployed for purely personal aims and ambitions.
