Cousin Mary

Today my cousin came to this country and was put under house arrest, she expected me to welcome her with open arms.  Mary, Queen of Scots, was exiled from her own country! The Catholics of this country seem to think she has a strong and legitimate claim to this throne.  She has been my enemy for many decades, and I can see that she will be a grave threat.  I decided to sign her death warrant, she is being executed tomorrow.
