How old was the Queen of Scotland, Mary Stuart, when she became queen?
Correct Answer: A week old
Mary, Queen of Scots (Mary Stuart) was just one week old when her father, King James V of Scotland, died in 1542, making her queen as an infant.
She spent much of her childhood in France. After returning to Scotland, she eventually lost her throne and fled to England, where Elizabeth I imprisoned her for 19 years before ordering her execution in 1587.
