Queen Mary Movie Netflix

[Fidelia Boldul]

MaryStuart is the Queen of Scotland, as the only surviving child of her father, King James V. Her father died just days after her birth, leaving her to inherit the crown. She had been engaged to Prince Francis since they were children to forge an alliance between Scotland and France. When she was sixteen, Mary returned to court and there, she and Francis fell in love. A year later, when her husband became the King of France, Mary became Queen Consort of France. She was with child but miscarried. After her rape, she distanced herself from her husband and had an affair with Prince Louis of Cond, until he declared war on France and was defeated. When Francis died, Mary returned to Scotland and ruled there. She married Lord Darnley and soon gave birth to his child, Prince James.

Upon arriving at court, Mary was amiable yet fearless. She faced every obstacle with strength and courage. Her instinctive desire to protect her country puts her at odds with her loved ones at times, but she always managed to resolve every conflict with them.

As time went by, Mary's heart hardened as a result of tragic life events. But they ultimately shaped her into a powerful monarch, who maintained a just and fair rule. Unfortunately, her choices and circumstances led to her demise.

The young Mary, Queen of Scots, Prince Francis and his older half-brother, Sebastian all met when they were 6-years old at French Court. Mary and Francis were already engaged, and Mary was living in France for protection from England.

Three years later at 9-years old, Mary was forced to leave after yet another assassination attempt was made on her by the English. Mary was no longer safe, so she was sent to live at a Convent with her new caretaker, Mother Superior, until she was to be married to Francis.

Mary Stuart and the other nuns are playing football on the field when Mother Superior calls them in for breakfast. Sister Helen is the first to be served her food while Mary and the others wait for theirs. Upon locking eyes with Sister Helen, Mary watches as blood and foam start dripping from her ears and mouth. The former falls dead at the table as Mother Superior immediately rushes the young Queen Mary away. She is convinced that this was an attempt and that Mary must leave The Convent immediately.

Mary walks to her carriage as Mother Superior and the other nuns wait by it to send her off to French court. Mary doesn't know if she is ready to leave the convent and wed The Dauphin of France, but Mother Superior reminds her that she will be reunited with her friends and Ladies-in-Waiting, not to mention that she will be safer there.

Rose goes to Mary and tells her to be careful of the ghosts there. Mary doesn't believe there are any ghosts at court, but Rose points out that just because Mary hasn't seen any, doesn't mean that they haven't been watching her. Before stepping into her carriage, Mary takes one last longing look at Scotland.

When Mary arrives at French court and steps out of her carriage, she sees her friends and ladies-in-waiting, Lady Kenna, Lady Lola, Lady Aylee and Greer Norwood. They run up to her and bow before she pulls them all into a warm hug. Greer fixes Mary's hair before she meets Prince Francis. They greet each other and while Mary talks on sheepishly, the ladies snicker at her from behind. Francis and Mary then walk arm-in-arm to the King and Queen of France for a proper introduction.

Later, Mary is setting up in her chambers while her ladies are told what their duties are to their queen. As noble ladies, they must counsel her, prepare her, and account for her. After that, Mary and the ladies are applying make-up and trying on dresses. Aylee suggests exploring the castle and all girls are on board with the idea, except Mary, who tells them she will find them later and goes on an adventure of her own.

Mary goes up to her old room and to her surprise, Francis is making a sword there. He is annoyed at her for finding him at first, but they soon start talking. They bond over the burden of being a royal and talk about how they're going to rule France and Scotland one day.

Later that day, Mary is collecting stones at the riverbank when her dog begins barking at something in the forest. She yells at him to stop. Mary brings the stones up to Francis as something to decorate his sword with. He is quite cold to her and when she realizes that he's with someone, he lashes out at her and slams the door in her face.

Mary goes back to the riverbank and throws the stones into the river in frustration. Stirling, her dog, barks even louder and scurries into the forest. When Mary runs after him, she is detained by Sebastian, who warns her not to go into the forest. He also promises to bring her dog back.

While getting ready for Princess Elisabeth and Prince Philip's Wedding, Mary finds the exact same stones she threw away on her table. As if that wasn't ominous enough, she also hears a voice telling her not to drink the wine.

After the wedding, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Philip share their first dance in the ballroom as everyone watches. Mary is becoming acquainted with all important missionaries while Aylee is at her side for any help she may need. Colin goes up to Mary and hands her a glass of wine to toast with him. She takes it, but suddenly remembers the warning from earlier and puts the glass down. Mary then spontaneously takes the dance floor by a storm with her ladies.

That night, the Consummation Ceremony is about to take place and Mary and her friends decide to spy on the event. Once they decide they've watched enough, they all run off in separate directions in order to avoid being caught. Mary returns to the wedding celebrations that are dying down and sees Francis. He excuses himself and goes over to talk to her. He apologizes for how he treated her earlier, but they soon argue again. Francis admits that he will only marry her if it is right for France, regardless of his feelings for her.

Mary clues her ladies in on what happened to her the previous night. Everyone is unsure how to react, except for Lola, who vehemently defends Colin. She tells Mary that Colin divulged that someone powerful at the castle had coerced him into attempting to rape his queen. Mary then decides to talk to Colin herself.

Mary seeks an audience with the King and Queen of France, asking to speak to Colin herself. They try to dehort her from doing so, but Mary presses on, demanding to speak to her subject. King Henry soon reveals that it's too late, as Colin was executed at dawn. Mary regrets having to inform Lola. Back in her chambers, Mary tells her ladies the news, and Lola blames Mary for what happened. Mary tries to calm her and promises to protect them, but they look unconvinced. Mary leaves in tears, but lights up when she sees that Bash has returned with Stirling. Bash shows concern for Mary, but quickly becomes stoic when he sees his mother glaring at him. Mary doesn't notice, though.

The next day, Francis walks up to Mary in the courtyard, interrogating her as to what Colin was doing in her bed. When she shuts him down, he warns her not to behave like that at court and lets it slip that he wants her there. They almost share their first kiss but Francis ends up walking away.

Snakes in the Garden

It is early in the morning and Mary covers the sleeping Lola up with a cover. A servant announces the arrival of the ladies Kenna, Aylee and Greer, only for Mary to usher them out to let Lola sleep.

Out on the balcony, Mary reflects on Colin's attack on her. Although the King and Queen told her that it was an English plot, Colin told Lola that he was forced by someone highly placed at French court.

In The Throne Room, Catherine and Henry are talking about who they're going to betrothe their son Charles to. Catherine believes the young Lady Madeleine to be a brilliant match - she is French, therefore loyal to France, and very wealthy. Henry is unsure about it at first, but Catherine's arguments manage to persuade him. Francis is ordered to accompany Charles to the landing to show respect. Charles asks if Sebastian can come as well, but Catherine slams Bash for appearing in the throne room at all.

Mary volunteers to go as well, as she too was once a child who was sent away to a foreign land, so she may be able to soothe the girl's fear. Catherine suggests that they all stay here, as the journey may not be safe, but Henry assures her that the carriage will stay on the King's road with a dozen of well-armed guards to protect it.

Once the carriage arrives on the coast, Francis helps Mary out of it while Charles stays inside. The two are stopped in their tracks at the sight of a large English war ship on their borders. Francis orders Mary and his little brother back to the carriage, while the guards mount their bows with arrows directed toward the approaching men.

Just as a fight is about to begin, Sebastian rides up and orders everyone to stand down. He explains that the English ship took on water and was aided by the French. They have sent their emissary, Simon Westbrook, ahead to the castle to clear the situation up.

Once tensions die down Madeleine presents herself as a perfect lady, but the shy Charles stands back. Mary goes forward to introduce herself to the young girl and explain who she is. She then walks over with her to Charles who gives her a flower he found on the ground and they both greet each other more proper.

Later at Court, Mary is surrounded by her Ladies-in-waiting when she sees the dashing English envoy Simon Westbrook. Who slyly questions why she isn't already married to Francis, and that even two young 7-year olds have a date for their own wedding. Mary becomes frustrated with him and tries to leave. She is greeted by Francis who smooths out the situations between the three of them. When they are along he tells Mary that Simon is only doing this to see her reactions, so she cannot react. Instead, Francis offers his hand for a dance, to which Mary humbly accepts.
