Some things to note: - The first axe swing hit the back of her head. The second axe swing *almost* decapitated Mary, but the small bit of sinew stopped the executioner, Bull. He had to basically saw off the rest. - When Bull lifted up her severed head and said "God Save the Queen", her wig detached itself and caused her head to drop, revealing her gray, short hair. - Somehow Mary managed to hide a godamn dog in her skirts, which emerged after the execution. So basically you got a dead queen with a fake wig, a puppy running around, and a whole ton of blood everywhere. The 1500s was *the time* to be alive.

Actually, as was custom, the axe-man asked for forgiveness before the execution, and she gave it to him. What she said upon laying her head on the block was "Into thine hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." Also, she was blindfolded so there was no way for her to lift her head up to face the executioner.

@deeya 2 года назад

I liked that they showed her hesitancy and anxiety over it, culminating in wanting to call it off (probably an artistic liberty at that last bit). Because she didn't actually want Mary's death, she was pressured by her advisors, in spite of her instinct's telling her that Mary's death would create more problems.

@Confederate-hj2dc 2 года назад

I’m no expert at this particular event, but I heard that Elizabeth was merely acting sad about the execution to earn popularity points with the people and other nobles. In truth, she knew it was necessary, and even enjoyed the prospect of getting rid of Mary, Queen of Scots once and for all.

@KL-ki8db 2 года назад

Also, Elizabeth's sister Mary Tudor (not to be confused with Mary Stuart) has executed their other cousin Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen. It would look super bad to be following in her sister's footsteps of "Bloody Mary".

It happens, there was a reason your family members would always bribe the executioner before your death. It meant they weren’t drunk when doing the act, or god forbid had a dull axe when the time came. My guess is the executioner was probably not drunk if he was executing a royal for the queen herself. He probably did get paid to make the execution as painful as can be without the queen having Mary physically hanged, drawn and quartered in a public square.

@Holeyguagaamoley 2 года назад

My understanding was that it was an axe but she was well liked and popular so the axeman had some stiff drinks to get the job done and missed, hitting between the shoulder blades this did not kill her and she let out a terrible scream they then had trouble getting the axe out of her back and then had trouble hitting the target as she was jumping around a bit. Many blows later her head was finally removed. The axeman held it up and her bald head fell out from under the ornate wig. They also tell of a horrible whine coming from the body, it turns out her pet dog was hiding in her large dress. This is why they don’t show the real execution as it would have been difficult to show compassion for Elizabeth after this…the real game of thrones

@@doccal5896 The idea of the mask is more Hollywood than real. The executioners were known and reviled. They often were paid little and had to travel about to various towns. They also performed other undesirable work such as clearing roadkill from the roads etc... to supplement their income. There was definitely a stigma attached, some places even reserving the executioner's own tankard to avoid "contamination" from him. There are even accounts of his pay being thrown at him, rather than handed to him to avoid touching him. Sometimes criminals were recruited as executioners to get out of their own sentences.

Extremely emotional and moving… and also totally inaccurate. The execution happened outside in a courtyard, and while Mary did wear red as the colour of a Catholic martyr, her beheading didn’t go as clean as portrayed in the film. I won’t mention the gory details, but all I can say is that after she was beheaded and the executioner held her head up by the hair, he failed to take into account that Mary was balding and wore a wig for public appearances…

@@25242824 She was not following orders - Elizabeth 'wore the trousers' in England for sure. She was hard and absolute, but it was the only way to survive. Her advisors had been telling her, whispering in her ears for years to get rid of the Mary problem, but Elizabeth, normally so cold and calculating, vascilated for years before finally making up her mind. She left Mary alone for a lot of the time in England, just prolonging the problem - she should hav eiether had her executed from the off, banished or sent to either Scotland, France or Spain, and let them deal with her. But no, she did none of these things and just left her alone to her own devices in England, usually under some form of 'house arrest'. As long as Mary remained alive and in England she was a threat to the throne.

Henry VII believed that he was a related to King Arthur from the Arthurian legends.

Anyone else who was killed never truly had that type of connection to the legends in order to receive that type of mercy. Or so the historians believe.

Well, a few things to note about this: 1) Elizabeth was reluctant to kill Mary but it had nothing to do with guilt but because she was worried how the Catholics in England and Scotland would react, never mind the rest of Europe. 2) Executing a queen might set a bad presedite as monarchs are normally seen as above the law. 3) Even after signing Mary's death warrant, she was vague to her secretary on what to do with it 4) Cate Blanchett's displays of grief were like the real Elizabeth's: it was just an act. 5) For obvious reasons they chose to censor what really happened in Mary's execution

Mary Stuart’s execution was more brutal in real life. Mary was not beheaded with a single strike. The first blow missed her neck and struck the back of her head. The second blow severed the neck, except for a small bit of sinew, which the executioner cut through using the axe. Afterwards, he held her head aloft and declared "God save the Queen.”

@@paytongann2180 Yes, that's true; which makes it all the more remarkable that the court that tried and condemned Mary never once mentioned that fact. During her few days of liberty after escaping from Lochleven (where she had been physically forced to sign the abdication), Mary publicly repudiated the document. Neither Elizabeth nor any other European sovereign ever contested that repudiation. (Elizabeth did not feel secure enough on her own throne to underwrite the idea that all it took to discrown a queen was to hold her down in a chair, grab her right hand, and force her to scrawl a signature on such a document).

In the movie, we saw Queen Elizabeth moved to tears and sadness during the decapitation of Queen Mary Stuart, it's a pure interpretation of the director of the movie, I think that Queen Elizabeth was convicted that her decision to execute Queen Mary is legal to preserve her power and her kingdom ; It's simple, she had to kill first her enemies and opponents, instead to be killed, the most powerful take it all; in those times, there was no mercy .

Guilty or innocent, Queen Mary put her crown in jeopardy and always would do so as long as she lived on English soil. Mary was an absolute idiot to escape to England, she should’ve gone to France. But Mary made one bad decision after the other during her short reign, it was bound to end badly for her.
