| [00:17.56] | Chapter 4 The death of David Riccio |
| [00:23.93] | It was a Saturday evening in March 1566. |
| [00:29.80] | I was in Edinburgh with some friends. |
| [00:33.75] | David Riccio was there, |
| [00:36.33] | with six or seven other people. |
| [00:40.14] | We were in a small room, |
| [00:42.33] | but there was a good dinner on the table, |
| [00:45.19] | and we were happy. |
| [00:47.99] | It was dark outside, |
| [00:50.59] | but inside it was warm and friendly. |
| [00:55.11] | Suddenly, a door opened behind me. |
| [01:00.88] | In the door was Henry Darnley,my husband. |
| [01:06.73] | I stood up and smiled. |
| [01:10.57] | 'Good evening, my lord,'I said. |
| [01:14.21] | 'Please come in. |
| [01:16.13] | Would you like something to eat?' |
| [01:19.64] | 'No, thank you,'he said. |
| [01:23.13] | 'I'm not hungry. |
| [01:25.61] | But I want to sit next to you, wife. |
| [01:29.61] | Please tell that man to move.' |
| [01:33.90] | A man got out of the chair next to me and Darnley sat beside me. |
| [01:41.79] | Then he put his arms round me. |
| [01:45.74] | I did not like it. |
| [01:48.23] | His face was hot, and his eyes looked unhappy. |
| [01:54.14] | But I smiled and said, |
| [01:56.37] | 'I'm happy to see you, my lord.' |
| [02:00.74] | 'Are you, Mary?'He laughed.'Are you really?' |
| [02:06.88] | 'Yes, of course, my lord. But-' |
| [02:11.41] | Then the second door opened and his friend, |
| [02:15.86] | Lord Ruthven,stood there. |
| [02:18.59] | He had a knife in his hand. |
| [02:21.91] | His face was red, and he looked very angry. |
| [02:28.37] | At first no one moved. |
| [02:31.58] | Then Ruthven said,'Your Majesty, |
| [02:36.19] | send David Riccio out of this room, |
| [02:39.31] | now! I want him!' |
| [02:43.54] | I looked at Riccio. He was afraid. |
| [02:48.73] | 'Why?'I said.'Why do you want him?' |
| [02:54.43] | 'He is a bad, wicked man!' |
| [02:58.14] | Ruthven said.'Send him out!' |
| [03:02.86] | 'No!'I said.'You want to kill him. |
| [03:07.94] | David Riccio is my friend! |
| [03:10.78] | He stays here, with me!' |
| [03:14.54] | 'He goes out, woman!' |
| [03:17.74] | Lord Ruthven said.' King Henry, |
| [03:21.07] | hold your wife, please!' |
| [03:24.45] | I stood up, but Darnley held my arms and I could not move. |
| [03:31.41] | David Riccio ran behind me and held my dress. |
| [03:36.41] | My friends in the room stood up too, |
| [03:39.41] | and moved towards Ruthven angrily. |
| [03:43.71] | But he had a knife in his hand. |
| [03:47.77] | 'Get back!'he said angrily. |
| [03:51.49] | 'Don't touch me!' |
| [03:53.88] | Then five men with knives ran into the little room, |
| [03:57.86] | and there was a fight. |
| [03:59.68] | One man held a knife in my face, |
| [04:05.22] | and another man hit David Riccio, behind me. |
| [04:10.40] | Then they pulled him out of the room. |
| [04:13.49] | 'Help me!'he screamed.'Help me, |
| [04:17.32] | my Queen-please! |
| [04:19.21] | They're going to kill me!Don't-aaaaaargh!' |
| [04:24.91] | I couldn't help him, because Darnley had me in his arms. |
| [04:30.54] | But I could hear David Riccio's screams. |
| [04:34.61] | I think he fell down the stairs, |
| [04:37.50] | and he screamed for two or three minutes. |
| [04:42.03] | Then it was quiet. |
| [04:46.04] | 'What are you doing?' |
| [04:48.27] | I asked Darnley angrily.'Riccio is a good man- |
| [04:53.87] | why are you doing this?' |
| [04:56.97] | Darnley laughed.'You are my wife, |
| [05:01.79] | Mary-not David Riccio's!'he said. |
| [05:07.26] | 'so why are you with him every evening? |
| [05:10.82] | You never talk to me!' |
| [05:14.45] | 'I don't talk to you because you are never here!' |
| [05:17.59] | I said.'You are always drinking with your friends! |
| [05:23.08] | You aren't a king, you're a stupid boy!' |
| [05:28.74] | He laughed again. |
| [05:31.03] | It was not a nice laugh. |
| [05:34.98] | 'Well,'he said.'Perhaps I am a boy, |
| [05:40.84] | but that is better than David Riccio,now. |
| [05:45.57] | Do you want to go and see him?' |
| [05:49.84] | I did see him, five minutes after that. |
| [05:55.17] | He was very dead,and there was blood all over the floor. |
| [06:02.44] | Poor David Riccio. |
| [06:07.63] | He sings to God now, not me. |
| [06:14.22] | I looked at Henry Darnley, my husband. |
| [06:18.64] | He had a stupid smile on his face. |
| [06:23.11] | But I think he was afraid of me. |
| [06:27.45] | I looked at him a long time, |
| [06:30.45] | and the smile went away. |
| [06:34.38] | 'Remember this night,husband,' |
| [06:38.34] | I said to him.'Remember it well. |
| [06:43.89] | Think about it when you look into my eyes, |
| [06:48.41] | and before you go to sleep. |
| [06:52.58] | David Riccio was my friend, |
| [06:56.86] | and you killed him in front of me. |
| [07:01.29] | I'm never going to forget that,Henry Darnley. |
| [07:06.32] | Never!' |

| [02:43.54] | I looked at Riccio He was afraid |
| [02:48.73] | ' Why?' I said' Why do you want him?' |
| [02:54.43] | ' He is a bad, wicked man!' |
| [02:58.14] | Ruthven said' Send him out!' |
| [03:02.86] | ' No!' I said' You want to kill him |
