In 1587 Mary Queen of Scots (the Second cousin of Queen Elizabeth) was executed at Fotheringay Castle. Mary went to England as she was being attacked by the scottish as they believed that she killed Lord Darnley. So she went to see Elizabeth her second cousin for help. She didn't know what to do with her so she locked her up in a castle so that she could think. It took her 18 long years to dedcide that she would execute her.

In the 1540's America was just getting its start. Not much was on the east coast and not to many people have made a name for them self yet. England was the worlds power. Things were very bleak. Farms were very common and were the best way to make money. Slaves and endured servants were a common place and were not thought of as wrong. People were looking for an all water route to Asia so they could increase trade. There is a lot of medieval background to this time. Spain and Portugal were the common languages. America was referred to as the 'new world' and Europe was referred to the old world. The 1540's nothing impacted history they way are time does today. Everyone lived a simple life. Nothing past the Mississippi was explored.
