It's a difficult job being Queen of Scots in the sixteenth century.  Firstly, there's John Knox telling people really unhelpful things about you and your faith.  Secondly, you've got to find the right husband: someone who's not going to commit the odd murder would be best.  Finally, even if she's your cousin, it's best not rely on Elizabeth I for anything, unless you like prison food that is.
