Poll question: Elizabeth Tudor or Mary, Queen of Scots?

I have it on good authority that Mary was ginger, and you NEVER piss off a ginger Scotswoman. :D

3. Mary, Queen of Scots, was actually French. She was NOT Scots.

4. and compared to Elizabeth...she wasn't much of a Queen, either.

Ruled by her heart...so lost her head.

5. Well her mother was Mary of Guise (French) and her father James Stuart

(Scots), but she was raised in France. The matter is debateable - she was certainly more Scots than Elisabeth was Welsh.

8. Where'd Elizabeth's Welshness come into it??

I think you're just makin' shit up. :P

6. Her mother was French, and she married the French dauphin first but

Mary's father was Scottish.

7. Uh, Elizabeth was definitely a red head

and you DEFINITELY didn't want to piss HER off!

I love Elizabeth I. I have studied her for years.

9. Gotta go with Mary, because most of what we know about Liz is

Limey propoganda. She's one of the more popular Birtish monarchs, so much of what we know (and particularly see in really bad movies about her) is really fiction. Probably a bitch.
