Besides being set queen on the day of birth, from that point on the queen lived in a fairly happy childhood (Fraser 20).

Mary as a Disciple (Mariology) Mary was the mother to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and has been a focus of theological discussion since about the second century. Mary comes from a long line of women in the bible. Prototypes, if you will. These women throughout the Old Testament were chosen by God.

Mary Queen of Guise had lost two sons earlier in her life and was expecting another child, which would be the next heir to the throne. She had one daughter, Mary, which was named after her. Shortly after she was born, her father died of depression due to the loss at war. Mary Stuart was the only child of James V of Scotland and Mary of Guise.

Mary might be one of the most recognizable names in the New Testament, most known for giving birth the Savior, Jesus Christ. For families that were raised Christian, the birth narrative is one of the first stories that children learn in Sunday school.
