Life in the UK Test 27
Which of the following statements about Mary, Queen of Scotland, is NOT true?
Correct Answer: She was a Protestant
Mary, Queen of Scots (1542–1587) was a devout Roman Catholic, not a Protestant.
She spent her childhood in France (her mother was French and she was betrothed to the French Dauphin).
She was eventually forced to abdicate her throne in favour of her son James VI of Scotland, who was raised as a Protestant. She fled to England and was held prisoner by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, for nearly 20 years before being executed in 1587.
