Who was Mary Queen of Scots and who was Mary Tudor?

Answer

Mary I, Queen of Scots (known as Mary Stuart) was Queen of Scots in her own right and Queen of France as wife of Francis II of France. She was six days old when her father died - that's when she became Scotland's second queen regnant and most notable Scottish monarch. Mary I was granddaughter of Elizabeth I's aunt, making her the heir of childless Queen of England. She had three husbands, but her only child's father was her cousin and second husband. Elizabeth I imprisoned Mary I and seventeen years later she ordered Mary's execution. Mary's son James became James VI of Scotland after Mary's abdication and James I of England after Elizabeth I's death.

There were two women known as Mary Tudor:

* Mary Tudor was daughter of Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York. She was briefly Queen of France as wife of Louis XII of France. She returned to England after his death and married Duke of Suffolk. Her granddaughter was Jane Grey, who ruled England and Ireland for nine days.

* Mary I of England (known as Bloody Mary) was the only surviving child of Henry VIII of England and Katherine of Aragon. She became Queen of England and Ireland after deposing Jane Grey and she became Queen of Spain when her eleven years younger husband became Philip II of Spain. Mary I had no children and was succeeded by her nineteen years younger half-sister, Elizabeth I.
