Notes about Henry Stuart

In July of 1565, she married her cousin Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley who was regarded as weak and vain. They had one son. In 1567 Darnley's house, Kirk o' Field, was destroyed and Darnley strangled.

Early in the morning of 10 February 1567, Kirk o’ Field house in Edinburgh was destroyed by an explosion. The partially clothed bodies of Lord Darnley, the second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, and his servant were found in a nearby orchard, apparently strangled but unharmed by the explosion.

Suspicion immediately fell upon Mary and James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, one of her closest and most trusted noblemen. Although Bothwell was considered to be the lead conspirator, he was found not guilty at his trial in April, 1567. Mary married Bothwell the following month, just three months after Darnley’s murder.
Darnley’s death remains an unsolved historical mystery.

He was murdered, probably suffocated or strangled before his house was blown up, on 10 February, 1567, at the old Provost’s Lodging, Kirk o’ the Field, Edinburgh, and buried in the Chapel Royal, Holyrood Palace.
