Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which councilor of Elizabeth's was shown in the opening scene?

Answer: Walsingham

Walsingham reminded Queen Elizabeth of Mary Stuart's past, her various marriages and numerous plots against her person among other things. Elizabeth ordered her cousin would remain at Chartley despite Walsingham's warning.

2. Whom did Paulet allow to visit Mary, Queen of Scots?

Answer: Gilbert Gifford

Gilbert Gifford, unknown to Mary Stuart or her friends, was in the employ of Sir Francis Walsingham. He reported to Walsingham everything that Mary Stuart said or did.

3. What was Mary Stuart's main home during her imprisonment?

Answer: Chartley

She did spend some time at Tutbury and her main home was Chartley under the watchful eye of Sir Amyas Paulet. He wasn't taking any guff from her no matter what.

4. Fill In the Blank: Dr. Dee: "I wish to know your name." Babington: "Excuse me, sir, I meant no offense." Dr. Dee: "I believe your name is Babington." Babington: "Then you have no cause to ask for it. Why do you ____ at me thus?" Dr. Dee: "One day you will know, Sir Anthony."

Answer: Smile

Sir Anthony Babington had arrived at court and had accidentally bumped into Dr. Dee, the Queen's astrologer. Apparently Dr. Dee knew something about Babington that no one else knew and he certainly didn't tell anyone his premonition.

5. Who was NOT involved in the plot against the Queen?

Answer: Duke of Alencon

The Duke of Alencon died shortly after he left England following the end of their brief engagement. Father Ballard, Anthony Babington and John Savage were tortured before they were executed.

6. Which Spanish Ambassador was also involved in plots against Elizabeth?

Answer: Mendoza

Ambassador Renard served under Elizabeth's sister Queen Mary while Don John served as a general in The Netherlands. Dr. De Puebla was Spanish Ambassador during Elizabeth's father Henry VIII's reign and was a great friend of Catherine of Aragon.

7. Where did Babington ask for a passport to visit?

Answer: France

At this point Babington had corresponded with Mary Stuart via others but Walsingham knew all about it as he wanted to catch Mary Stuart in a trap. Babington admitted he was of the Catholic faith and liked to see his friends from time to time.

8. Fill In the Blank: Mary: "The end of Mary Stuart's ________ is now done."

Answer: Troubles

Mary Stuart was dressed in a black dress with long black sleeves. She recited some Catholic prayers and held a bible as she recited the prayers. Her ladies took the black dress off to reveal a red dress, the color of a Catholic martyr.

9. Who dispatched the warrant of execution for Mary Stuart to the site?

Answer: William Davison

The Queen signed the warrant and made some chit chat with William Davidson who then dispatched it to Fotheringhay Castle. Mary Stuart was then executed with three blows of the axe and when the executioner picked up her head her wonderful Tudor red hair was a wig.

10. Who grew thin and died following Mary Stuart's execution?

Answer: Her dog

Underneath the ex-Scottish queen's skirts was her dog. The block, her clothes and the dog were either cleaned or burned. Once the dog died there was no more trace of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.
