Progresses of Mary, Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots, made three significant progresses in Scotland after her return from France in 1561 and before her marriage to Lord Darnley in 1565. Sources for her movements include letters, financial records, and the account of household expenses held by the National Records of Scotland known as the Despences de la Maison Royale. Travel, especially for the purpose of holding justice courts, was an important component of successful rule in medieval and early modern Scotland.
