Summary

John Knox's attempt to convert Mary Queen of Scots just before the latter's execution.

On her way to be executed, Mary Stuart was called a 'harlot' by John Knox, who also tried to convert her from Catholicism to Protestantism. When she was killed, her dog lapped up her blood.

Jimmy MacBeath comments that John Knox had no right to call anyone a harlot.
