 236 MARY STUART MARYVILLE flicting a horrible wound, she did not shrink or groan. Two more blows were necessary to despatch her. After being contemptuously neglected for six months, her remains were buried in Peterborough cathedral, Elizabeth acting as chief mourner through Lady Bed- ford; and 25 years afterward they were re- moved to Henry VII.'s chapel, in Westminster abbey, by order of her son James I. When Elizabeth was informed of Mary's death, she expressed great indignation, forbade Burleigh and Walsingham her presence as the sole au- thors of the crime, and sent their principal tool, Secretary Davison, to the tower, and had him fined 10,000. Davison's word is all the evidence that exists of Elizabeth having signed the warrant, and he was not only a witness in his own cause, but had been concerned in an attempt to induce Mary's jailers secretly to poison her. The question of Mary's guilt or innocence of the crimes charged against her has been vehemently debated for three cen- turies, and hundreds of works have been writ- ten on it, while she has been a favorite charac- ter with poets and novelists. The question seems no nearer to a solution now than it was in the early days of her residence in England, when it was debated by George Buchanan on the one side, and by Lesley, bishop of Ross, her champion, on the other.
