As well as being Queen of Scots and Queen Consort of France, Mary Stuart had a claim on the English throne. This presented a possibility that a catholic empire could be created across the three nations. But Elizabeth I was to become Queen of England instead.

The conflict that the Reformation led to across Europe is exemplified by the Protestant attack on Chateau d'Amboise and its violent suppression.
