Yes she lost her head, and her crown but she laid down a legacy. She bore a son who was the first monarch to rule both England and Scotland in history. So her legacy lived on forever through her beloved son. She did fullfill her mother's wish in the end.
Marie de Guise wanted France, Scotland and England be unified in a single Catholic kingdom under the rule of Francis, Mary and their descendants. Francis died childless. Scotland and England were unified in a single kingdom but a Protestant one. Mary's descendants became Protestants. Some came back to Catholicism but were excluded from the succession line because of that despite having a better place in the genealogy than the Protestants. And France became an atheist anti-Catholic republic. How the hell is Marie de Guise's wish fulfilled?
@ferzy09 it was Elizabeth's choice to never get married and have an heir. It was never her goal so how could she fail in it . She took a lesson from what happened to her mother and aunt but can't say the same about her predecessors
@@kamrunsultana4338 I guess her sister Mary's marriage to Philip II of Spain also served as an example. She saw how her sister's reign failed because of foreign influence in her decisions, because of having to please a husband and make her decisions according to his own instead of looking after England's best interests. Mary Tudor wasn't her grandmother Isabella of Castile, unfortunately, though she was inteligent to some degree.
And though elizabeth may have "won" her In life, she lost it all In death through mary's son King James. Elizabeth could not produce a legitimate heir of her own and Mary ultimately won by leaving an heir who made her struggle a heroic legacy.
Elizabeth chose James as her heir. James was Mary's biological son, but he did not see her as a mother. He refused to help her imprisonment situation. He also wasn't on the catholic. Elizabeth held much more sway over James than Mary ever would.
Ok reign is a great drama but it's so inaccurate. Mary of Guise send her daughter to France with Lady Beaton, Seton, Livingston and Fleming in 1548. That was the last time Mary of Guise saw her. She ruled as regent on behalf of her daughter until she died of dropsy in 1560
Not quite true actually. Marie of Guise travelled to France in 1550 and spent some time with Mary at the French court before returning to Scotland (via England) in 1551.

Dude chill out you’re overreacting
Brilliant acting by Amy Brenneman in the scene.
How ironic since she will lose he crown, her country and her head. Sad
Not mention her son James as well.
@ferzy09 Elizabeth reign was known as the golden age which is far greater than having an heir

Shakkila Era even in James era it was said the Elizabeth was a king and James is queen now
Elizabeth chose James as her heir. James was Mary's biological son, but he did not see her as a mother. He refused to help her imprisonment situation. He also wasn't on the catholic. Elizabeth held much more sway over James than Mary ever would.
I just want to point out Charles the first Mary’s grandson was such a bad ruler the English abolished the monarchy
Shakkila Era I always believed that Elizabeth wanted Mary to win but she did not want to end up like her mother Elizabeth let her win the war.
Z B Um? Because she was TAKEN PRISONER SINCE HE WAS AN INFANT
Mary did everything her mom told her to do.
And ironically enough her desire for the English throne and need for an heir cost her everything in the end.
Miss this show..
She did leave and paved the way for Mary
Narrator: She didn't keep her life or her crown
Great TV show..Horribly historically inaccurate but *shrug* thats TV for ya...And thats most definitely the WB, er, the CW for ya
