The story of Mary Queen of Scots unfolds with all the drama of a Greek tragedy. Her childhood and youth were happily spent in the French court, where she was favoured for her beauty, grace and close links with the English throne. Elizabeth deliberated for 18 years before signing the death warrant for the woman whom some saw as the rightful queen of England. Mary s great consolation was that she died a martyr s death I offered willingly to shed my blood in the quarrel of the church. The Spanish Armada was sent by King Philip of Spain as a direct result of the death of Mary and her claims to the English throne. Rue not my death, rejoice at my repose. It was no death to me but to my woes. The bud was opened to let out the rose. The chain was loosed to let the captive go.
