Résumé
Marie of Lorraine-Guise (1515-1560), by her marriage to James V king of Scots a figure of the so-called “Auld Alliance”, saw after the birth of her daughter Mary Stewart in 1542 the former triangular Anglo-Franco-Scottish relationship convert to a fierce competition between England and France over the Scottish crown. This article discusses the political efforts by Marie of Lorraine, the duke of Guise’s eldest daughter and regent of Scotland since 1554, to safeguard and represent the Queen of Scots’ royal power in Scotland while complying first with king Henry II of France’s political objectives in Scotland, then with the dynastical ones of her two brothers, Francis duke of Guise and Charles cardinal of Lorraine. Rather than exercising personal power, Marie of Lorraine unsuccessfully tried to bring into accordance two peoples, two nations, two cultures and two religions.
