Tragic Facts About Mary, Queen of Scots 

A crazy detail left out from Mary and Darnley’s marriage is that Darnley murdered the aforementioned David Rizzio right in front of Mary during a meal, suspecting that she was pregnant with David’s child. This murder directly led to his downfall and later death at Kirk o’field.

Along with all the illegitimate half-siblings, Mary actually had two legitimate older brothers who died as young children. If even one of them had lived, her life might have gone very differently.

Mary is one of my favourite figues throughout history.

As a great man once said...'Mary, Mary... Why you buggin'?'

Mary always struck me as being that one friend we all have who is reasonable and intelligent in most things but has self-destructively terrible taste in men.

I always thought her death was accurately portrayed on that BBC radio show just before that penguin on my TV exploded.

WOOHOO! 🙌 LOVE this narrator!!!

I love these videos. The joke about SpaghettiOs was pretty funny.

Yes, but how DOES her garden grow?

All those broken hearts back then is haunting you

BEST narrator❤ love this channel gets me through the workday

"Toni Whisky" (sp?)😂😂😂😂 I adore you, Sir Narrator, informative and the humor is on point👌

Hope this channel narrator and videos never end❤

1,200 watched this in 30 minutes and only 160 likes? How hard is it to push a like button guys? These are awesome videos with a awesome narrator. Come on you guys...

Mary was a pawn for power hungry men. She was setup for failure by her brothers and by Bothwell. Her marriage to Bothwell was likely forced and she had been raped. I have written a novel about Mary, Queen of Scots where she is interviewed by a time traveling historian. He ultimately falls in love with her and vows to save her from the axe... which he ultimately does. Mary was rescued and moved to a convent in France where she lived another 50 years. One day I hope to finish it and get it properly published.

This is my first time seeing this channel. It was fantastic....I really enjoyed it. 👍

I have seen or read this story several times and it still baffles me. I just don't understand, for the life of me, why Elizabeth I kept Mary hanging around on English soil for years suspiciously plotting against her. And then finally saying, "OK, off with her head."

Please make this person the full-time narrator!!!!

A+ video! Fascinating history on Mary, the social dynamics of the past in that area are very different than today!

That's so weird. I was just looking up Mary Queen of Scotts last night. And it's not like it's a algorithm thing in this case.

Thank you for explaining this mess, I love watching these tv shows and movies and it's all so confusing as a non-brit :)

Thank you for this! 👑

Love it! Keep up the great work.

0:39 Hahaha! We watched There's Something About Mary (1998) all the time my sophmore year at Doane University when I lived on First Floor Frees. I was actually a pizza delivery boy less than two months after the film was released.

Recently found this channel; I’m a new subscriber. Appreciate the humor throughout the two videos of yours I watched so far! TY! Dont change a thing!

Toni Whiskey 😂😂😂. That struck me funny.

She's my 14th great grandmother. Her story is just tragic.

PLEASE Bring Back Timeline!

Great video ! ❤

I promise you will always get more views if you keep OG tom as the narrator

Hello, There!! I've been a faithful follower for some years now. I love your channel, and I think you should make a segment about Mary Jeanette Kelly, the last known victim of Jack The Ripper. Little is known about this woman, except that she was an immigrant, and that she was married at some point, and that she was extremely beautiful. I hope you take my request into account. May The Force be with You. Best, Marco.

Could you guys do a video about Nostradamus? Thank you.

She's my direct ancestor a few times over on several different limbs. My husband's as well. Turns out, most of us are directly decended from all the royal and noble families of the world, no matter your race. Alot of Europeans died out during famine and sickness, so it makes since that those better off would have better health, thus surviving. 😊

11:09 I have a Lamy Fountain Pen, it takes ink cartridges. It is supercool!

3:16 Reminds me of the music video "Mary's Getting Married" on the Journey to Bethlehem soundtract (2023).

WOW! Mary Queen of Scots is an ancestor of mine through the Stewart line. I have read 2 different books about her but there are several things you presented in this video that I have never heard about or read about before! Thank you for sharing your love of history with us! You're one of my favorite channels!

5:39 What a glorious day!

"Known to her friends as Toni Whiskey." Love it ❤

Lets do one comparing the show Reign vs the real facts about Mary's demise..

So glad it's the OG narrator 😂

My favorite narrator

“Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With cockle shells and silver bells and pretty maids all in a row.” The garden refers to growing cemeteries, as she filled them with Protestants. Silver bells and cockle shells were instruments of torture and the maiden was a device used to behead people. This saying was applicable to either Mary Queen of Scott’s or Mary Tudor the Catholic Queen of England.

8:00 I am considering getting a day planner, I am not sure which one though...

It seems so hard to be a royal with the name of "Mary" back then

Hi please can you make a video about George III of great Britain and his madness

Please do a video on life as a jew/Christian in roman Empire and jew/Muslim in Byzantine Empire and non Muslim in the Arabic empires

Yay!!

3:28 This is as complicated as the first time I saw the Arrested Development intro.

Back then there was a severe name shortage, hence all the same names. 😂

yeheyy the old voice actor is back

I always wonder who is that lady with short black hair in the background of the transitions in all of these Weird History and Nutty History videos. Is she smiling or smirking? Is that a flower in her hair? Is she from the 1920's with that hair cut? Who is she???

She is a distant relative. Very interesting.

"Weird History All Star" was a solid throw away joke.

No mention of Mary's mother Marie de Guise, the Scottish regent?

Crazy life she led

I am going to watch the Weird History video: x ---TIMELINE 1984---

❤❤❤

*They're all backstabbers. How else does one keep power?*

James Stewart was my 14th great grandfather and I’ve always wanted to know if those funky collars itched like a cone of shame does on a dog lmao

Timline coming back 🙏

6:37 Wasn't he on It's a Wonderful Life? lol

💙

Another detail that was missed was the fact that Mary was more or less held captive by Bothwell & she married him under duress. She hated him.

4:56 Mary QOS was the "eldest surviving descendant of Henry VII and Margaret Tudor - Royal couple"? You sure?

CAN SOMEONE PLS LINK TO THE BACKGROUND MUSIC

Anyone know the music that starts at 2:50?

❤

……they were wild back in days

Henry VII was actually the father of Margaret Tudor, PLEASE do not call them a couple, they were not

☮️

There's SOMETHING about Mary...like Marie Antoinette she lost her head...literally

Didn't Bothwell force Mary into the marriage?

Just like Marie Antoinette she "lost her head 🗣️"

I’m just grateful that I’m not royalty

Owen Tudor ?? John of Gaunt.

The true Queen Scotland

It’s so difficult to tell what the true character of powerful women figures were, since sooooo much of recorded history was written from the male perspective. Mary Queen of Scots was probably very anti-English, as there were divisions in Wales and Scotland that made relations with England tenuous at best. Given that she was relaxed about having Protestant relatives at court, her resistance to the throne was likely purely anti-English sentiment. Of course, being crowned as a baby probably made her susceptible to the ethics and politics of her advisory from an early age. She likely wanted to carry out her father’s wishes politically, continuing a stronger relationship with France. France was literally always knocking down English sovereignty, any chance they could get, especially during and after King Henry the VIII. I suspect the rivalry between Mary of Scotland and Elizabeth I, was a continuation of deep-rooted rivalry between their daddy’s. Daddy isssues and power = plenty of baskets with heads in them 😊

Mary was a tragic queen.

If there is an historical individual or event you would consider the epitome of Weird History?

Funny how I made a video on these facts months ago lol. Very odd coincidence

Wish I had a name to go with the voice

Weren't all of her ladies in waiting named "Mary" as well?😂😂

Those angry faces lol

Bloody Mary?

Mary Stuart was the rightful Queen of England.

Luck was not a lady to the throne.

WHAT?

Mary, unlike Elizabeth, just didn't have any discernment. Religion has no place in matters of State.

Apparently she's my 15th great grandaunt because my grandmother is a Stewart. We've traced our family back, it's crazyyyy.

Is it just or if you are born to the European royal family and named Mary or any name similar like Marie or Maria you are doomed.

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal, this time a breakfast! Eating FROOT LOOPS* WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY†...while watching this Weird History video! * From the Weird History videos "Why Was the 80s the Golden Age for Sugary Cereals?" and "Facts About Mel Blanc, The Voice Behind Looney Tunes" † From the Weird History video "The Real Willy Wonka | The Food Scientist Behind Your Favorite Junk Food"

None of these jokes would have worked with the other narrator.

Did she marry 3 times

There's no evidence that Mary Mary is about anything other than gardening.

🦝

How is this important to me how is listening to Mozart important how?

So, British “Royalty” has always been weird… stranger than a soap opera even 😮 So King Charles is “normal”.

a

I hear you using the words "Lady" Fleming @3:42 but are we historically certain that's not a man, man?

bring back timeline, you bastard
