Moray and Maitland approached Bothwell asking him to kill Darnley. In return, he could have Queen Mary, meaning they would not stand in the way of Bothwell pursuing Mary. <br /><br />After much convincing from Moray, Bothwell agreed. He was tired of Moray making life miserable for him and he wanted the power. <br /><br />Obviously, it was part of the plan to get rid of Mary, Darnley, and Bothwell, so Moray could rule Scotland. Darnley even warned Mary that they would get rid of one by getting rid of the other and to watch out for Maitland. Maitland was orchestrating all of this. <br /><br />By claiming Mary and Bothwell we're lovers, the perpetrators convinced everybody that they both killed Darnley to take the attention off of the real perpetrators. This also gave the perpetrators, the Lords of the Confederation, the excuse to imprison Mary and force her to abdicate and exile Bothwell. And of course all of this was backed by the English crown, they were funding the operation.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848625821236768471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394732066968098939.post-67498152423907676542019-05-19T17:57:11.933-07:002019-05-19T17:57:11.933-07:00Well, it was a very sweet story up until the autho...Well, it was a very sweet story up until the author claimed it was Mary and Rizzio's friendship that led to his death. Actually, the traitorous Scottish Lords of the Confederate army were jealous of Rizzio because he was a foreigner, he was Italian and not a Scott. He was also close to Mary and others started using him to get Mary's attention. It was also one of several plots to usurp Mary's throne. Remember, they kept her in confinement after Rizzio's brutal murder which involved Darnley and they made sure Mary knew it involved him. It was the making of a government overthrow.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848625821236768471noreply@blogger.com
