scotlandsladies:9 September 1543 ✧ Mary Stuart was crowned at Stirling Castle at nine months old.It was an inauspicious day, being the thirteenth anniversary of the Battle of Flodden, yet an event of the utmost significance. Enveloped in regal robes, little Mary was carried from her nursery, and borne in solemn procession, with her lord keepers and officers of state, across the green to the church, where she was presented to her people as Sovereign Lady of Scotland and the Isles. -- source link
