Features: The birth of Mary Stuart forever altered the history of Scotland, England, and France. She is remembered for her beauty and tragedy, living eternally in works and debates. Mary Stuart became Queen of Scotland six days after her birth, a fiancée of one of Europe's most powerful princes at six, and Queen of France at seventeen. Her spiritual life had not truly begun when her power reached its peak. By the time she was under 25, her life was practically over. She attended the weddings of two husbands, lost two kingdoms, wandered the dark path of crime, and spent time in prison, yet each time she returned to the throne and the altar. Her life was like a flame, its reflection still shining centuries later. As she was led to the guillotine, she prepared a blood-red dress and elbow-length blood-red gloves to avoid the glare of blood splattering on her clothes during the execution.
