Smith, whose See also:function was at least partly to See also:watch and check his See also:fellow-ambassador. It was in these years that Throckmorton became acquainted with Mary Queen of Scots. He had to conduct the delicate negotiations which accompanied her return to Scotland, and though he was a supporter of the reformers on See also:political grounds, he became her See also:personal friend and was always willing to do her service. As ambassador in France he exerted himself to induce Elizabeth to aid the See also:Huguenots, and took a part in the See also:war of religion. He was taken prisoner by the See also:Catholic See also:leader, the See also:duke of See also:Guise. After his return to See also:England he was sent as ambassador to Scotland in May 1565. The See also:mission entrusted to him was to prevent Queen Mary's See also:marriage with See also:Darnley, which however he was unable to do. After the See also:murder of Darnley he was again sent to Scotland in See also:June 1567 on a still more hopeless mission than the first. He was instructed to persuade the Scottish barons who had just imprisoned the queen to restore her to her authority. His known friendship for Queen Mary and his See also:constant support of her claim to be recognized as Elizabeth's successor, made him a very unwelcome representative of England in that crisis. Moreover, the queen of England in-creased his difficulties by making him the See also:bearer of offensive messages to the barons, and by contradictory instructions. He cannot have undertaken his task with much zeal, for his own See also:opinion was that Elizabeth would consult her interests best by supporting the barons. In See also:Edinburgh Throckmorton could effect little, but he exerted himself to secure the personal safety of the queen. He offended his See also:mistress by showing his instructions to the Scottish barons, and was recalled in See also:August. In 1569 he See also:fell under suspicion during the duke of See also:Norfolk's See also:conspiracy in favour of Mary, and was imprisoned for a time at See also:Windsor, but was not further proceeded against. He died on the 12th of See also:February 1571. Sir Nicholas married See also:Anne See also:Carew, and his daughter Elizabeth became the wife of Sir See also:Walter See also:Raleigh.
