And, in fact, in those days, unless you were very lucky, or you had a very skilled executioner with a sharp blade, it usually took more than one blow to sever your head and in Mary' s case, as the accounts go from the time, the first blow hit her on the back of the head, the second blow, virtually decapitated her, all but for one sinew, and then to cut that the axe was used as a saw. A grisly end indeed. But for Mary' s son James, the predictions of greater power would come true. James VI of Scotland would become James I of England too. In 1603 he travelled south to claim his second crown. It was a triumph for the Stuart dynasty. But the triumph would be short lived. The Stuart grip on power would end in civil war and the execution of James' son Charles I by the English Parliament. |
