Battle of Carberry Hill

The effect was catastrophic, and her nobility rose against the couple.

The two armies met at Carberry Hill on June 15th, and Mary surrendered without a battle while Bothwell rode away.

Five weeks later, imprisoned at Loch Leven, she was forced to abdicate in favor of her one-year-old son, who would later become James I of England in 1603.

In June 1567, Bothwell's servant George Doglish was arrested, and with him surfaced a silver casket said to contain letters and sonnets from Mary to Bothwell.
