Why was Francis II not able to help Catholics in Scotland?
Due to the progressing Scottish Reformation
Due to a lack of military power
Because of political opposition in France
Because he did not find it important
Answer
Francis II was unable to help Catholics in Scotland due to the progressing Scottish Reformation. The Scottish Reformation began in 1559, and by 1560, the majority of Scotland's population had converted to Protestantism. This made it difficult for Francis II to support the Catholic Church in Scotland, as he would have been opposed by the majority of his subjects.
