Throughout History there have been many Kings and Queens who had huge and elaborate state funerals. But one way in which they were commemorated was through the creation of death masks. But one Queen of Britain who reigned for a long time had one cast against her wishes.

To refer to Kaiser Wilhelm as Queen Victoria's "war-mongering grandson" while ignoring the numerous wars and atrocities that took place during Victoria's reign is somewhat hypocritical. Queen Victoria presided over many conflicts, including: 1. The Crimean War (1854-1856) 2. The Indian Rebellion (1857-1858) 3. Punitive Expeditions in China (1857-1860) 4. The Abyssinian Campaign 5. The New Zealand Wars (1845-1872) 6. The Third Anglo-Asante War (1873-1874) 7. The Second Afghan War (1878-1880) 8. The Anglo-Zulu War (1879) 9. The First Anglo-Boer War (1880-1881) 10. The Egyptian Campaign (1881-1885) 11. The Third Anglo-Burmese War and the Pacification of Burma (1885-1895) 12. The Tirah Campaign (1897-1898) 13. The Reconquest of the Sudan (1896-1898) 14. The South African War (1899-1902) These conflicts underscore her involvement in military actions and imperial expansion during her reign. Does this also make Queen Victoria a "War Monger?"

Mary Queen of Scots was a Scottish Queen and the legitimate english queen. You inclusion her as such as English is welcome as it validates Queen Mary's rightful and legitimate claim and title, but she was Queen of Scots first and foremost, her English claim was secondarily to that of Queen of Scots. You are completely incorrect in stating that MQOS was the former Queen of Scotland. She was the legitimate Scotstish Queen irrespective of her enforced abdication. Also, you are incorrect, stating Mary was not given a public funeral . She was in fact given a royal state funeral paid for by the English government with Elisabeth personality represented by her ftiend ,the countless of Belford. The funeral took place in July 1587 attened by rhe gentry abd nobility of England which can only be taken as an admission of guilt that they had committed regicide of their legitimate Queen. Today Queen Mary' lies in Westminster abbey her legitimate and rightfull claim yo the English Crown acknowledged and recognised in tbe most magnificent and imposing Tomb in tbe Abbey, much bigger than Elizabeth's . Queen Mary has triumphed in tbe end its her bloodline thwt still reigns today not Elizabeth's who was barren.. equally Queen Mary did not plot againnst Elizabeth she plottted yo be free the Babington Plot was fabricated and the evidence was falsified by Cecil, Walsingham and Phellepes with the knowledge and approval of Elizabeth. Equally she trued yo have Queen Mary secretly murdered by Paulet refused to do it without warrant. You completely fail to lije most English people omits the actual facts. Also Elizsbeth in 1574 approached Earl of Morten who was regent in Scotland to take Queen Mary back providing Mary was executed within 4 hours of arriving in Scotland, Morten refused unless Elizabeth sanctioned it. Elizabeth Tudor wabted Queen Mary dead but not the responsibility, her behaviour after Mary's murder clearly demonstrated that. You keep stating thet Queen Mary' wanted to be buried besude her first hus Frqncis II king of France, thiscis comple false, Queen Mary wabted to be buried beside her mother Marie DeGuise . Why cannoy you report facts not ?.Queen Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and later Empress of India.

Mary Queen of Scots was not the rightful heir to the English throne. As a matter of fact, Henry VIII skipped his sister Margaret's descendants, favoring those of his sister's Mary's. Henry's 3rd act of succession is what was followed up until Elizabeth's death. James I never should have been King of England. And Mary was the former Queen of Scotland. She was replaced by her son James.

@kissedbysun2517 unfortunately I do not have the time much as I would like to. Bit surely my reply gives a good insight to my thoughts which equally gives the correct information which unfortunately few from England do. Queen Mary was not guilty of Treason the case and charges against her were ludicrous and fabricated, and so-called evidence was fabricated by the English Crown. 1 Queen Mary was Queen of a foreign country, regardless of her enforced illegal abdication, which the English Crown were complict in .2 Queen Mary was the legitimate and rightful Queen of England. Also, Elizabeth Tudor was illegitimate the base born illegitimate daughter of Anne Bolyen and Henry VIII who was a Catholic. Therefore, on both counts, the charge of Treason was invalid . The very state that murdered Queen Mary gave her a royal state funeral paid for by the English government with the nobility and Elizabeth's personal friend as her representive present. No where in history has a person who was executed fir Treason given such a state funeral paid fir by the estate that executed them. It was an admission of guilt on all sides particularly Elizabeth's who knew she had murdered gods and Scotland's annited Queen and the legitimate abd lawful Queen of England. They will answer for their crime on judgement day.

Get your history right. Arthur, the first born son was dead by the time Henry VII died (1509), so he couldn't inherit the throne. It was a bit misleading though the she said that he left the throne to his eldest surviving son, as at the time, Henry was the only surviving son anyway. His elder brother Arthur had died before (1502) and so had his younger brother Edmund (who died in infancy in 1500). The ascending of the throne had nothing to do with Arthur's and then Henry's marriage to Katherine.

Dear Shelly, your brother is lucky he has a sister who cares enough to look out for his welfare and wellbeing. It is not a decision you would have made lightly. Things like this are incredibly stressful. You are not qualified, trained or equipped to help your brother properly but what you have done is place him in the care of those can help him. It’s an act of caring if not love. You don’t need to feel pain.. you have done your brother a huge favour, despite what he may say or think right now. You can heal now and so can he. It just takes time.
