Through her grandmother Margaret Tudor (1489-1541), she had the strongest claim to the throne of England after the children of Henry VIII. She posed a strong threat to the ascension of Henry's daughter Elizabeth I, who eventually had her executed in 1587. This painting depicts Mary and Pierre de Bocosel, Lord Chastelard, a French nobleman who courted the young Mary while she was living in France. When Mary returned to Scotland in 1561, Chastelard could no longer publicly pay court as a suitor and plotted to remain near to his lover by serving as her confidant and secretary. Mary, was formally betrothed to Henry Stuart (Lord Darnley). Chastelard vainly tried to continue their romance. One evening, he hid himself under her bed, where he was discovered by her maids of honor. Mary pardoned the offence, but to no avail. Weeks later, he was discovered a second time, sentenced, and beheaded shortly after.The present painting's composition is based on a print by Andrew Duncan, first published in 1830, and after a painting by Henri Jean-Baptiste Victoire Fradelle (1778-1865).
