1587 Mary was executed in the great hall at Fotheringhay Castle. She dressed all in black, carrying a crucifix and a Latin prayer book. She and her attendants prayed loudly, drowning out the Protestant prayers of Dr. Richard Fletcer and the ealrs of Shrewsbury and Kent, first in Latin and then in English. Before her execution she removed her robes to reveal a dress of tawny velvet- the color of martyrdom in the Catholic Church. The execution was carried out by the headsman from the Tower. It took two strokes. After the beheading, he picked up the head by her auburn curls, intoning, "God save the Queen." Mary's lips continued to move. The head then fell to the ground.
