Synopsis:

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS limps painfully past the lords  attending her execution. She tries not to listen to their derogatory, insinuating references to her adultery with Lord Bothwell, but is unable to shut out their voices. She is aware she needs to evacuate and tries to hold in the urine and feces pushing against her lower parts. Her execution is by no means a punishment for her adultery with Lord Bothwell, Indeed,  her unforgiveable sins are for her secret notes to Sir Francis Walsingham suggesting they conspire to assassinate Queen Elizabeth the First so that she, Mary, may succeed to the throne of England and rule as the Catholic queen worshippers of the Catholic faith yearned to have as their reigning monarch.

However, unbeknownst to Mary, Walsingham slyly tricked her into believing him to be her supporter instead of her enemy, turning over all the incriminating notes she had exchanged with Walsingham to Queen Elizabeth for her to decide Mary’s eventual punishment which was unjustified according to Mary and her supporters, at first by pleas, then conspiracy.  Reasons for the English queen  to imprison Mary or to have her executed were thus debatable. Despite the fact that Mary was the sovereign queen  of another country, this was circumvented by Elizabeth’s courtiers, who argued that Mary was, in fact, a threat to the life of their queen.
