As you probably know, Scotland is one of the four countries that form Great Britain. Scotland lies to the north of Great Britain. Scotland was independent until 1603, when Queen Elizabeth I died. She had no children, so before she died, she made James VI of Scotland the new King of England, because he was her closest relative.[1]

James VI of Scotland, or James I of England, was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Lord Darnley. Mary and Elizabeth were cousins and Elizabeth thought that Mary wanted to become Queen of England. This was not true, but Elizabeth was convinced that Mary wanted to replace [2] her, so she sent Lord Darnley to Edinburgh to see if he could find out [3] what Mary wanted to do.

But Mary and Lord Darnley fell in love [4], married and had a son. However, Lord Darnley was a very attractive man and he had lots of affairs [5]. When Mary found out, she decided to divorce him. Lord Darnley wanted to become King of Scotland and he planned to murder Mary, but before he could do anything, he died in an explosion in his house. Nobody could prove [6] it, but some people said that Mary was responsible for Lord Darnley’s murder.
Isn’t it ironic? Lord Darnley didn’t become King of Scotland, but his son, James, became King of both Scotland and England and so Scotland and England were united.
