圣十字架宫15

Mary refused, and bear in mind she was seven months pregnant at the time,

and Rizzio all the while was clinging to Mary's skirts, cowering in terror.

At this moment, five co-conspirators of Darnley's burst in,bodily dragged Rizzio off Mary,

dragged him into the next room and stabbed him there some 50,60 times,until he was dead.

And then when it looked as Mary might sound the alarm,she was threatened herself with being cut into collops,

cut into pieces, if she made so much as a sound.

Mary fled the palace and shortly after,in the safety of Edinburgh Castle,

gave birth to a son she named James.

As for Darnley, Mary claimed to have forgiven him,

but barely a year later, he was found murdered in mysterious circumstances.

Within three months, Mary had married the main suspect.

It was all too much for the Scottish nobles.

She was forced to abdicate.
