The Queen’s marriage with the ambitious Darnley …
Years: 1565 - 1565
December
The Queen’s marriage with the ambitious Darnley soon sours, and she refuses him the right to succeed if she dies without issue.
The disappointed young queen turns for comfort and advice to her secretary, David Riccio, whose influence the Protestant lords fear because they suspect him of being a papal agent.
Darnley is weak and vicious, and when his jealousy of the Italian becomes unmanageable, he openly states that Riccio is too intimate with the queen.
