Scenario: Mary,
Queen of Scots has a daughter by Francis II of France, and is forced to leave her in the care of Catherine de Medici when she returns to Scotland. Then, when she begins talks with England, she takes Elizabeth of England up on her offer and agrees to marry Robert Dudley, only to have the
Queen of England and her favourite elope on the way there, and that rightfully leaves her feeling put out. Henry Stuart fails to impress her and instead she chooses the Hapsburg option, marrying the
Archduke of Austria soon after. England and Scotland find themselves incredibly antagonistic over the next few years, with Mary using Elizabeth's guilt over the way this has all gone to balance against Catherine de Medici, who remains suspicious of Mary due to her guise connections. The Princess Marie in France, meanwhile, struggles to find a husband in a court where her grandmother is unwilling to allow her to marry at all, leaving her single when the
King of Navarre, now
King of France, divorces her aunt and approaches her for marriage. England and Scotland find common ground with a match between the eldest Scottish Princess and the
Prince of Wales, although Mary remains upset at her gilting throughout the rest of her days.
