Title: A history lesson
Post by: Snoopy on October 13, 2008, 09:59:21 AM
The Scots (or at least some of them) want Mary "Queen of Scots" remains dug up and returned to Scotland ~ despite the fact that her own son ordered that she should be interred at Westminster Abbey.
They claim that she was the victim of an English plot.
I suggest they study their history and they will find that the Scots themselves hounded her out of the land of Heather and Porridge and it was Scottish plotting that led eventually to her execution.
Bunch of Tartan clad Arseh*les ~ despite my having a Scottish Great Grandfather.

A quick read of her 'potted history' shows that she requested to be buried in France.
