The Death Mask Of Mary Queen Of Scots

One of the most shocking executions of the Tudor period, was when Elizabeth I signed the death warrant of Mary Queen of Scots. The former Scottish monarch and the cousin of the English Queen was a thorn in the side of Elizabeth, after she had been involved in a number of plots. Mary Queen of Scots had been imprisoned in England for almost 2 decades, before she became engrained with the Babington Plot, which was planned to dethrone and assassinate Elizabeth, and put the former Scottish Queen on the English throne. Catholics across the nation would have loved this, however Elizabeth then sanctioned Mary’s death and execution. It was inside the walls of Fotheringhay Castle on the 8th February 1587 that Mary made her way to the executioner’s block. It was a remarkable moment in English History, the Queen ordering the execution of another Queen. But with the executioner’s axe, Mary’s life was no more. But one curiosity which has emerged in the centuries after her death relates to a number of death masks taken of the Queen’s face following her execution. Mary would not be given a public funeral, but she would be given a death mask. This is a haunting image of the deceased former Queen of Scotland, but what is the story behind it?
