Darnley, Henry Stewart or Stuart, Lord Darnley

0.01 sec.

Darnley, Henry Stewart or Stuart, Lord Darnley (1545–1567)

English aristocrat, second husband of Mary Queen of Scots from 1565, and father of James I of England (James VI of Scotland).

On the advice of her secretary, David Rizzio, Mary refused Darnley the crown matrimonial; in revenge, Darnley led a band of nobles who murdered Rizzio in Mary's presence. Darnley was assassinated in 1567. He was knighted and became Earl of Ross and Duke of Albany in 1565.

He was killed in an explosion (while ill in bed), probably by James Bothwell, who became Mary's third husband. Mary's role in the plot remains controversial.
