in 1561, mary returned to scotland. she found that she was not popular in her kingdom. she had been brought up as a catholic, but many people in scotland had become protestant. it was difficult for mary to avoid siding with either the catholics or the protestants. as mary was now free to marry again, there were lots of noblemen who wanted to become her husband. for her second husband, she chose an english lord named henry stuart, lord darnley, who was of royal blood. darnley was good-looking and charming, but he was often very childish, and he was jealous of mary's secretary, an italian named david rizzio.
