This Queen of Scotland’s EXECUTED Body Was Left To Rot...

One of the most infamous and shocking executions to occur during the Tudor Period was when Elizabeth I ordered the death of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary had reigned in Scotland for some time, but had been imprisoned by the English Queen inside various different castles for almost 2 decades. But Mary began to plot against Elizabeth, and for this was sentenced to death. Inside the Great Hall of Fotheringhay Castle, Mary Queen of Scots made her way to the executioner's scaffold. Her execution was performed poorly, and it took 2 swings to almost take her head from her body. But following this, her body was simply left to rot. She was embalmed and her heart its believed was buried inside the grounds of Fotheringhay Castle, and this has never been unearthed. Also her body was then left inside one of the rooms of the castle for around 6 months, as Elizabeth I regretted her decision to execute Mary who was also her cousin. She was then given a funeral which was completely against her beliefs, and following this was then reburied in Westminster Abbey by her son James I.
