Without English support, Scottish Protestants will not go much far and here they will have none. Mary and Francis will NOT claim England here as Mary Tudor’s children are clearly ahead of the Scottish Queen in the English successionElisabeth of Valois, too, had given birth to healthy triplets: boys named Charles and Maximilian, and a girl named Claude. This was cause for mass celebrations, again. It was a good year for the Tudor-Habsburgs, as the children were known as. Meanwhile, the regent Elizabeth was puzzling over what she should do with Scotland's unstable religious situation. The regent, Marie of Guise was being threatened by the growing influence of the Scottish Protestants. Although Elizabeth liked the tolerant stance that she took, she also knew that Philip II of Spain did not. Meanwhile, Francis II of France and Mary, Queen of Scots began to display the arms of England in their blazon, causing murmurs of concern.
