Tossup

When a man preached against this woman’s possible marriage to Don Carlos, that man stated that he would rather endure this woman’s tears than “betray [his] commonwealth.” The Treaty of Greenwich concerned this woman’s future marriage, which Edward Seymour attempted to force through the “Rough Wooing.” This woman’s second husband may have had her private secretary David Rizzio murdered before a house fire killed that husband, Lord Darnley. This queen was imprisoned for nineteen years after being forced to flee her country, and this woman’s execution may have prompted the Spanish Armada. For 10 points, name this Scottish queen who was executed by Elizabeth I in 1587. ■END■
