Darnley was a weak and foolish, not to say wicked, boy, and all around her were men who plotted, and spied, and worked for their own ends, caring little for the happiness of Scotland or its Queen. Now there came into Mary's life another man called James, Earl of Bothwell. He was a handsome, swagger- ing, brutal, brave man. He had lived a great deal in France, and had fine manners and a light-hearted jolly laugh. He was bad, but he was brave, and Mary, who loved brave men, and who was tired and ...sick to death of her foolish, cowardly husband, loved him. She heaped honours and favours upon this man, who, an old writer says, was ' as naughty a man as liveth, and much given to detestable vices. ' Mary's love for this swaggering Earl made Darnley very angry. He became sullen and sulky, would hardly speak to the Queen, and at last went home to Glasgow, to live with his father and mother. While there, he became ill of a dreadful disease called small-pox. When the Queen heard that he was ill, she went to visit him, and it seemed as if their quarrels were forgotten and that they were friends again.
