Mary, Queen of Scots & Lord Darnley On 17th February 1565, Mary, Queen of Scots met Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley—and fell in love. It seemed like the perfect match: Darnley was young, charming, handsome, and of royal blood, with claims to both the Scottish and English thrones. But what started as a passionate romance quickly became Mary's greatest mistake. - Darnley's ambition and arrogance turned him against Mary. - He conspired with her enemies and took part in a brutal murder. - Their marriage fueled rebellion, alienated her allies, and gave Elizabeth I the advantage. - His shocking murder in 1567 implicated Mary and led to her downfall. What if Mary had never met Darnley? Would she have kept her throne? Listen now as I unravel the love story that changed history! #MaryQueenOfScots #OnThisDay #RoyalScandal #Darnley #TudorHistory #HistoryMysteries
Weird History: The Unexpected and Untold Chronicles of History
The reign of King James I was shadowed by religious violence from the Protestant Reformation and the political tensions between Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. These factors led James to maintain strict political control while fearing the supernatural. As the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots and Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, James was born in 1566 amid ongoing conflict between Scotland and England. He became King James VI of Scotland at just one year old after his mother's abdication, and later ascended to the English throne as King James I in 1603 following Queen Elizabeth I's death. #KingJamesI #witchhunts #ProtestantReformation #Mary,QueenofScots #QueenElizabethI #politicalstrife #supernatural Learn more about your ad choices.

Sonny Brewer, author of "The Poet of Tolstoy Park," talks about what the main charater in the book, Henry Stuart, did after being told by his doctor that he was dying and how it transformed his community.

**Title: James I: The Union of Crowns and the Dawn of a New Era** **Introduction:** James I of England, born James VI of Scotland, ascended to the English throne in 1603, marking a significant turning point in the history of the British Isles. His reign was characterized by the union of the English and Scottish crowns, significant cultural achievements, and notable challenges both at home and abroad. This article delves into the life and legacy of James I, exploring his impact on the political, cultural, and religious landscape of early 17th-century Britain. **Early Life and Scottish Reign:** James was born on June 19, 1566, in Edinburgh, Scotland, to Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. His tumultuous childhood was marked by the abdication of his mother and his subsequent coronation as James VI of Scotland at just thirteen months old. Despite the challenges of ruling a country fraught with religious and political strife, James proved to be a capable and intelligent ruler. He skillfully navigated the complexities of Scottish politics and established his authority as a Protestant monarch. **Accession to the English Throne:** The death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 left England without a clear heir. James, being the great-great-grandson of Henry VII of England, was the closest viable Protestant successor. His ascension to the English throne as James I was a historic moment, effectively uniting the crowns of England and Scotland. However, this did not lead to an immediate political union, as both countries remained separate sovereign entities with their own parliaments and laws. **Religious Tensions and the King James Bible:** James's reign was marked by significant religious challenges. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, led by Guy Fawkes and other Catholic conspirators, was a failed attempt to assassinate the king and destroy Parliament, highlighting the deep religious divisions within the country. James, though a Protestant, advocated for tolerance and sought to ease religious tensions. His most enduring legacy in this realm is the commissioning of the King James Bible in 1609, a landmark translation that has had a profound impact on Christianity and the English language. **Cultural Contributions:** The Jacobean era, named after James I, was a time of considerable cultural achievements, particularly in literature and the arts. The king was a patron of Shakespeare and other playwrights of the time, and the era saw the production of some of Shakespeare's most famous works, including "Macbeth" and "The Tempest." James himself was a scholar and writer, contributing to the literary landscape with works such as "Basilikon Doron" and "The True Law of Free Monarchies." **Foreign Policy and the Spanish Match:** James's foreign policy was driven by a desire for peace, particularly in his efforts to end the long-standing conflict with Spain. His pursuit of a Spanish alliance, including plans for a marriage between his son Charles and a Spanish princess, was controversial and ultimately unsuccessful, straining relations with Parliament and his subjects. **Legacy and Succession:** James I's reign laid the groundwork for the eventual political union of England and Scotland in 1707. His belief in the divine right of kings and his struggles with Parliament would foreshadow the conflicts that led to the English Civil War during the reign of his son, Charles I. James died in 1625, leaving a complex legacy as a monarch who strove for peace and unity in a time of great division and change. **Conclusion:** James I remains a pivotal figure in British history. His efforts to unify his kingdoms, his cultural patronage, and his contributions to religious reform have left an indelible mark. While his reign was not without controversy, his impact on the cultural, political, and religious fabric of Britain cannot be understated, shaping the course of the islands' history for generations to come.

Milford W. Howard, an attorney by trade and former United States Congressman, wrote a very interesting feature article for The Birmingham News in 1929. And yes, the article is the one we mentioned in the last episode about our favorite "beehive like structure" dwelling man--Henry Stuart. Milford sought Henry out to get his thoughts regarding the simple life and wrote an amazing article, including poems, personal letters, and of course his own commentary about the man Henry and the idea of the "simple life". We hope you will enjoy listening to our version of an "audible newspaper article" and perhaps it will provide you some "food for thought".For More information go to: https://www.sallysdiaries.com/
This episode is additional to our episodes #8 and #9. Henry Stuart built a circular, beehive like, hut in Fairhope Alabama. We completed a kind of circle by taking his diary first to De Lamar, Idaho (episode 8) where he began writing, and then recently stepping foot into his home in Fairhope with the diary. Henry was a very interesting man who had an impact on many people including author Sonny Brewer who wrote "The Poet Of Tolstoy Park", a novel inspired by Henry and his home. We met up with Sonny at Henry's home and enjoyed our visit and tour. In our episode #9 we go into much more detail about Henry and encourage new listeners to hear this man's story.For More information go to: https://www.sallysdiaries.com/

One evening in March of 1566, Mary, Queen of Scots, was sitting with one of her half-sisters and her secretary David Rizzio, eating supper. Suddenly, the door slammed open; Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, and his cohorts burst in, stabbed Rizzio, and pointed a gun at the Queen. Who was 6 months pregnant at the time, with the future James I/IV. Then the band of conspirators took Rizzio out, stabbed him 56 times, and threw him down the stairs. We'll give you all the background to this, and also explain what happened to Darnley, but in essence, all the conspirators were in on a Stupid Plot, which was meant to get Darnley, Mary's husband, declared King of Scotland. (That, by the way, did not happen.) So that was a very bad evening for Mary, Queen of Scots, though probably not the worst, since later on her cousin Elizabeth, Queen of England, was going to keep her in captivity and then cut her head off. Besides Rizzio's demise, we discuss why the Nazis were all for Mary and not Elizabeth. Fun times!
From Idaho to Fairhope Alabama, Henry's life changes as he settles in to live on the Ten acres of land he would call "Tolstoy Park". In this episode we tell you more about Henry, the home he built by himself, and discuss the impact he made on others. You will hear Author Sonny Brewer who wrote a novel inspired by Henry and his unusual home. Henry lived simply and in accordance with his beliefs. He was sometimes referred to as the "Hermit of Montrose" but he had many visitors who made their way to converse with him. We would have loved to have had a visit with him too.
Our discoveries from the 1911 journal of Henry Stuart took us to DeLamar Idaho, once a bustling mining town and now an almost entirely non existing ghost town. His story starts there and then takes us to Alabama where Henry built an unusual beehive shaped hut, was known as "The Hermit of Montrose", and the barefooted old man. He made an impression on many people including well known public figures.Part 1 begins with our road trip to find DeLamar, Idaho where Henry's journal was taken back to the very place it began in 1911.

On July 1, 2019, Ben Wynne delivered the 2019 Hazel and Fulton Chauncey Lecture, "The Life and Times of Henry Stuart Foote, Southern Unionist and 'The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis.'" This lecture presents the life of antebellum politician Henry Stuart Foote (1804–1880), one of the most vocal, volatile, and well-traveled politicians of the nineteenth century, and “The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis.” Born in Virginia, Foote moved to Alabama and then Mississippi during the 1830s and made a name for himself as a gifted and zealously aggressive lawyer and political personality. He was an eyewitness to most of the great historical events of his lifetime and he opined on everything. He helped raise money for the Texas Revolution, represented Mississippi in the United States Senate and as governor, played an important role in negotiation over the Compromise of 1850, served as a Confederate congressman from Tennessee and also affected politics in California and Louisiana. He wrote numerous books and until his death remained one of Jefferson Davis’s most caustic critics. A native of Florence, Mississippi, Ben Wynne earned an undergraduate degree at Millsaps College, a master’s degree in history at Mississippi College, and a doctorate in history from the University of Mississippi. He has taught at the University of Mississippi, Valdosta State University, and Florida State University, and is currently in his thirteenth year as professor of history at the University of North Georgia in Gainesville, Georgia, where he specializes in antebellum American studies, the American South, and the Civil War era. He has written numerous books and other material related to the South and southern culture, including "A Hard Trip: A History of the 15th Mississippi Infantry, CSA"; "Mississippi’s Civil War: A Narrative History"; "In Tune: Charley Patton, Jimmie Rodgers and the Roots of American Music"; and "The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis: The Political Life of Henry Stuart Foote, Southern Unionist."
