# Mary, Queen of Scots is taken into English custody after crossing the Solway Date: 1568 ## The fact In May 1568 Mary, Queen of Scots, crossed into England and was taken into custody rather than received as a visiting sovereign. The dated detention is a confinement instrument, not the February 1587 execution. Elizabeth I’s documented role is: She kept a neighbouring anointed queen under house custody. Local officers received Mary; later castle moves followed; Elizabeth never granted an open trial as sovereign to sovereign. Do not twin this with the 1587 execution. Custody is not a beheading warrant. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear.

The attached mechanism is A nineteen-year detention of a rival claimant became a completed confinement heading, distinct from the 1587 warrant. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.
