It’s over 450 years since the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots, Henry, Lord Darnley, was murdered smack-bang (literally) in the middle of Edinburgh. By all accounts it was to have been a spectacular demise for the 21-year old king, with the house he was staying in (whilst apparently battling syphilis) blown to bits by several sturdy barrels of gunpowder. In the end his naked body was found strangled in a nearby orchard, along with that of his valet; they’d been caught in attempting to escape the house and quickly silenced.
