Mary’s enduring legacy to history is her martyrdom and the future heir to the English, Irish, and Scottish throne. Her son, James VI, became King James I. By giving birth to James, Mary ensured the continuation of Stuart lineage. This birth also created lasting consequences, which resulted in the union of Scotland and England.
