THEY WERE COUSINS

Henry Stuart was 6’3″, taller than Mary, which was somewhat of a rarity. He charmed her with his courtly manners, fine clothes and conversational ability.

He was in line for the throne of England through his mother, the Countess of Lennox.

History describes Lord Darnley as a “vain, arrogant, self-centered, egotistical and disliked by many of his peers.”

Henry and Mary married on July 29th, 1565 in the Chapel at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, Scotland.
