Another Murder or Disappearance in the notes
Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.
Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.
Jack Lowden is having entirely too much fun playing pathetic bisexual losers :)

Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, 1545 - 1567. Consort of Mary, Queen of Scots
Artist: Unknown
Date: About 1564
Medium: Oil on panel
Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland
Description
Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, is shown here in his late teens, shortly before his marriage to his cousin Mary, Queen of Scots. Darnley's direct descent from both King James II of Scotland and Henry VII of England meant that a match with his cousin made perfect dynastic sense; it created a monarchy free from foreign ties and strengthened the couple's claims to the English throne. They were married in July 1566 and their only child, James VI, was born in June of the following year. Although Mary described him as the 'lustiest and best proportioned long man', Darnley soon proved to be a difficult and irresponsible person. Vain and jealous, he was involved in the murder of the Queen's secretary and favourite, David Riccio. His own murder at Kirk o'Field in Edinburgh has never been solved.
The Murder of David Rizzio
Artist: Sir William Allan (Scottish, 1782-1850)
Date: Exhibited 1833
Medium: Oil on panel
Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland
Description
For centuries, the dramatic life of Mary, Queen of Scots, has provided exciting subject matter for painters, writers and composers. Here, Sir William Allan depicts the assassination of David Rizzio, the queen's Italian secretary, in March 1566. The artist took great care to be historically accurate, establishing the exact identity and role of all the individual conspirators and recreating the look of Mary's rooms at the Palace of Holyrood. Allan based his Earl of Morton (with black hat to the far right) on a contemporary portrait, attributed to Arnold Bronckhorst, which is in the collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. To the left, Mary is being restrained by her husband, Lord Darnley, who was part of the conspiracy but later denied any involvement.
