That would be amazing enough, but the truth is, her Father, King James V, died in 1542, just six days after she was born, making her Queen at the age of one week. Though her uncle, Henry VIII, tried to gain control of her throne, Mary retained her rule until 1567. At that time, she fled her homeland following a rebellion and was beheaded in England in 1587.
