Mary Queen Of Scots was born on the 8TH of December 1542 . She was also known as Mary Stuart or Mary 1st of Scotland . We found this picture on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3450316006/
Mrs V remembers a nursery rhyme about her that she used to sing in school but she can’t remember all the words. It has “Mary Queen of Scots had her head chopped off” in it. If anyone knows the rest of the rhyme, please let us know what it is.

Thats koool my mummy was born on the 8th of December.Not 1542 of course!
When i was little we used to sing a rhyme with dandelions (at every ‘chopped off’ we flicked the heads off the dandelions)
Mary queen of scots had her head chopped off
her head chopped off, her head chopped off
Mary queen of scots had her head chopped off
and she won’t rule no more.
I think this post is very interesting – did you know that “Mary Mary Quite Contrary” could be about Mary , Queen of Scots too?
Thank You Mrs P – I’m sure that’s the same rhyme that I knew when I was at school. I don’t recognise the last line, though? I’m sure we sang something different.
I remember the ‘Mary, Mary Quite Contrary – How Does Your Garden Grow’ rhyme, too! I’ve no idea what the origin is, though.
