The Staart Monarchy in England

i wanted to take you through those political developments because it sets the scene for so much of what happens in our story. The stuart monarchs who succeeded the tudors were the descendants of mary queen of scots. And even though they were cousins, arrangements had actually been made them to marry each other when they were older. That was part of a marriage agreement that henry the eighth had worked out before he died. He thought that the marriage would bring scotland under english rule.
