- "Years ago he was a loyal man. He has spent his time since becoming a rich and comfortable man"
- —Prince Francis
Synopsis
Mary Makes A Fateful Decision
When Mary learns of a secret clause in her marriage contract that her mother, Marie de Guise and Queen Catherine orchestrated, Mary and Francis embark on a dangerous plan to turn Scotland against her mother – and Mary gets her first taste of power as the Queen of Scots.
Quotes
Lady Charlotte: Be careful your grace. Without an heir, you're worth more to them dead than alive.
Lady Kenna: I know you think I don't notice anything that isn't a fancy dress or jewel, but strangely enough, I give a damn about my country.
Prince Francis: Years ago he was a loyal man. He has spent his time since becoming a rich and comfortable man.
Queen Mary: I would defy the devil himself if he tried to buy and sell my country!
Queen Mary: My first duty is not to my mother. I am the Queen of Scotland, not the Queen of Marie de Guise.
Queen Catherine: Welcome to being a ruling Queen, Mary. Men will trust you and die. These are the first, but they won't be the last.
King Henry: I get headaches.
Lady Kenna: …I’m so sorry!
