Nevertheless, on 9 March , Mary was having a small supper party in her private apartments, with Rizzio and five close friends, when Darnley and a group of Protestant nobles burst in. They dragged Rizzio from the table and into the next room - where they stabbed him 56 times. Bothwell had also been a target, but he managed to climb out of a window and descape to Dunbar. Alone and defenceless, Mary decided that her only hope was Darnley. Two nights after the murder she went to his room and convinced him that the Protestant lords were using him.
Soon he was begging her forgiveness and together they escaped to Dunbar, where Bothwell was gathering an army. They returned to Edinburgh with the army and forced the murderers to flee. But Mary never really recovered. She spent days in her chamber weeping, close to nervous collapse. She could never forgive Darnley. The only person she now trusted was Bothwell.
Darnley was now expendable and everyone wanted to see the back of him: Mary hated him, the Protestant lords had been betrayed by him and Bothwell wanted to replace him as king. To further his ends, Bothwell persuaded Mary to bring back Moray and the exiled Protestants.
In November , Bothwell met with nobles from all factions at Craigmillar Castle to discuss the Darnley problem. They came up with two options: But when Mary was consulted she ruled out divorce because it would make her son illegitimate. As for 'other means', she said that she wanted 'nothing against her honour'.
The nobles saw this as carte blanche and, having left Mary's room, signed a bond to murder Darnley.
So was Mary in on the plot? It seems likely because, in January , she joined Darnley in Glasgow and was, as he told his father, 'using herself as a most natural and loving wife'. And yet it was from Glasgow that she sent her famous love letters - known as the Casket Letters - to Bothwell while her husband was just yards away in the next room. And upon my word he will do whatsoever I will, and he will come.
Mary was as good as her word. On 1 February she brought Darnley from the safety of Glasgow to the dangers of Edinburgh. He was taken to Kirk o'Field, a house near the city wall, because he was sick and, Mary said, needed somewhere quiet to convalesce. Mary promised to stay and look after him but on the night of the murder, 9 February, she was at Holyrood attending the wedding masque of a loyal servant. Possibly, but a convenient one.
As it happened, Darnley survived the explosion but was strangled and stabbed to death as he tried to escape. Virtually everyone was involved in the plot to murder Darnley, but only Bothwell and Mary got the blame. Within days, scurrilous placards appeared in Edinburgh, depicting Mary as a whore and accusing her and Bothwell of the crime. They had been set up by Moray and the Protestant lords.
In desperation, Bothwell abducted Mary and took her captive to Dunbar Castle where, apparently, he raped her before forcing her to agree to marry him. Could she have been complicit in the whole thing?
Even her defenders find it hard to believe she knew nothing of the plan to abduct her. Mary was either so desperate - or so madly in love with Bothwell - that she now appeared to give up even her Catholicism for him.
Exactly a month later, the final showdown between Mary and the Protestant lords took place at Carberry Hill near Edinburgh. But no actual fighting took place because Mary's outnumbered troops gradually melted away. Mary agreed to give herself up on condition that Bothwell was given safe passage into exile.
In a final act of defiance they kissed in full view of both sides. Cartuchos para Impressora Voltar Voltar. Notebook Touch Voltar Voltar.
