Should the above page link -- either as a redirect or a DAB entry -- link here? At present it doesn't, according to an editor's interpretation of WP:DABMENTION. Related question: should that be mentioned in this article? It's not uncommon as a descriptor. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 20:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mary, Queen of Scots (lack of this page/voice)[edit]

Mary refused to ratify the treaty. [ADD HERE] In 1563 Elizabeth proposed her own suitor, Robert Dudley [...]

[ADD HERE]: In Scotland Mary's mother Mary of Guise, who had ruled Scotland as regent, attempted to increase French influence in Britain by granting the French army fortifications in Scotland. A group of (Protestant) Scottish lords allied with Elizabeth deposed Mary of Guise and, pressured by the British, Mary's representatives signed the Treaty of Edinburgh, under which French troops were to be withdrawn from Scotland. Although Mary refused to ratify the treaty, it had the desired effect and the French threat was driven away from England.[1]

After the death of her husband Francis II, Maria Stuart returned to Scotland, while the period of religious wars was beginning for France: fearing further possible threats from the French side, Elizabeth secretly gave support to the Huguenots, helping and supporting the revolts of Prince Louis I of Bourbon-Condé[2]. This aid was intended to find support among French Protestants in order to later claim the French throne. She made peace with France in 1564, renouncing the last English possession in French territory, Calais, but did not abandon the formal claim to the French throne that English monarchs had held since Edward III's reign during the Hundred Years' War, and which was abandoned only by George III, in 1802 with the treaty of Amiens. 95.244.253.106 (talk) 21:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Religion[edit]

Lollller has changed the 'religion' field in the infobox from Anglicanism to Protestantism, giving the rationale that she was a protestant queen. I reverted their change, not because Protestantism is incorrect, but because Anglicanism is more specific. I don't want to edit war about it, so throwing this out for other comments. Pinging {{u|DrKay}, who has commented on her religious convictions above. Girth Summit (blether) 16:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seems correct - she pretty well invented Anglicanism. Johnbod (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks. Just realised I botched the ping to DrKay above, so repinging. Girth Summit (blether) 17:45, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
