What cause did Mary of Guise ultimately fail to prevent?

  • Scottish Reformation

  • Scottish Independence

  • The Rough Wooing

  • The Glorious Revolution

Answer

The Scottish Reformation, the religious upheaval that established Protestantism in Scotland, was the cause that Mary of Guise ultimately failed to prevent. Appointed regent of Scotland for her infant daughter Mary, Queen of Scots, Mary of Guise attempted to maintain Catholic dominance in the country. However, she faced fierce opposition from Protestant reformers led by John Knox, who sought to break away from papal authority.
