Mary of Guise
(redirected from Queen Mary of Lorraine)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Mary of Guise (1515–1560)

French-born second wife of James V of Scotland from 1538, and 1554–59 regent of Scotland for her daughter Mary Queen of Scots. A Catholic, she moved from reconciliation with Scottish Protestants to repression, and died during a Protestant rebellion in Edinburgh.

Daughter of Claude, Duke of Guise, she was first married in 1534 to the Duke of Lorraine, who died in 1537. After James V died in 1542 she played a leading role in Scottish politics, seeking a close union with France, but she was unpopular, and was deposed as regent in 1559.
