12. Don Carlos became ever more estranged from his father and, after plotting against him and attempting to flee the country, he was placed in solitary confinement by Philip II in 1568. He died six months later, probably from natural causes though, at the time, tales circulated that Philip had decreed his death.

7. There is evidence that Darnley’s mother disagreed with her husband on this issue and that she was attempting to facilitate his escape to Flanders. Margaret was unaware, however, that messengers she had previously trusted were now also in the pay of William Cecil. See Macauley, Matthew Stewart, pp. 160–61.
8. It is unfortunate that Historic Scotland’s information about Hermitage Castle on its website still perpetuates the myth of a romantic assignation.

21. NLS MS 3657, f. 34, also in Maitland’s Narration (no page numbers). The identity of the person who received these confidences from Mary remains unclear. The NLS MS attributes it as a letter from Thomas Randolph to the earl of Leicester but Randolph had been ejected from Scotland the previous year and was back in England. Bedford was also away at the time. Mary’s discussion may have been with Throckmorton.
22. CSP Scotland, vol. 2, p. 523.
23. As late as 23 June, Elizabeth was still writing to Mary upbraiding her for her marriage to Bothwell and her inability to prosecute Darnley’s murderers. L. J. Marcus, M. B. Mueller and Rose, eds, Elizabeth I, Collected Works (2002), pp. 117–19.
24. Turnbull, Letters of Mary Stuart, p. 32.
25. The elderly Châtelherault himself was then still living on his French estates and did not return to Scotland until early 1569, after Mary’s flight to England, though he was always a staunch supporter of her restoration to the Scottish throne.
26. Turnbull, Letters of Mary Stuart, pp. 163–4.
Epilogue – London, 7 May 1603
1. Quoted in Leanda de Lisle, After Elizabeth (2004), p. 151.
