Fix this textWHERE DAVID RIZZIO WAS SLAIN; THE PALACE OF HOLYROODHOUSE
Fix this textTHE Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh is Scotland’s chief Royal
Fix this textpalace, and is forever associated with the unhappy Mary Queen of Scots.
Fix this textIt was her principal residence for six tragic years (1561-1567), and it was
Fix this texthere that the most famous scene in Scottish history was enacted.
Fix this textOn the 9th March, 1566, Queen Mary, the Countess of Argyll and David
Fix this textRizzio, the Queen's secretary, were dining together when they were surprised
Fix this textby Ruthven, Darnley, Morton and other conspirators, who entered by the
Fix this textprivate staircase. They seized Rizzio, who had thrown himself behind the
Fix this textQueen, clinging to her robes for protection. He was torn from his hold and
Fix this textdragged through two outer rooms to the head of the main staircase, where
Fix this texthe died from fifty-six dagger wounds. Jealousy of Rizzio’s political influence
Fix this textwith the Queen is reputed to be the chief motive for this crime. Today a
Fix this textbrass plate marks the spot where Rizzio died; it covers the bloodstains
Fix this textwhich it is said existed there for some years. The brass plate bears the
Fix this textinscription—“ The body of David Rizzio was left here after his murder in
Fix this textQueen Mary> Supper Room, 9t,h March, 1566.” Rizzio was buried in the
Fix this textChapel of Holyrood Abbey, adjoining the Palace, and three months later
Fix this textQueen Mary married Bothwell.
Fix this textThe building of Holyrood Palace was begun about 1500, during the reign
Fix this textof James IV, and completed in James V’s reign (1513-1542). In 1544 most
Fix this textof the Palace was burned down by the Earl of Hertford. It was quickly
Fix this textrestored, and in 1650 it was occupied by Cromwell, whose troops damaged
Fix this textmuch of the interior. The Duke of Lauderdale enlarged the Palace to its
Fix this textpresent extent in 1671 during the reign of Charles 11.
Fix this textIt was here in 1745 that Bonnie Prince Charlie held his gay court beneath
Fix this textthe guns of the hostile castle before setting off on his ill-fated march to London,
