Mary Queen of Scots

She was Marie, who was queen of France at the age of 16. Mary wanted to return to her hometown in Scotland to regain her legal throne but Scotland and England were under Elizabeth I at the time. Mary's presence in Scotland may be bad as there seem to be many clashes that may occur.
