The Secret London website tells us about Mary:
Mary Queen of Scots
Briefly Queen of France, in 1559, Mary ruled Scotland from 1542-1567. Following an uprising, she fled to England, putting herself under the protection of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Her Catholicism, and claim to the English throne, made her a target for plots and she was beheaded for treason in 1587.
