If memory serves, her marriage to the Dauphin was arranged due to her mother's ties with France which was rich, powerful and the sworn enemy of England.

Mary was sent to France at the age of 5 so I highly doubt it was for love. Mary's maternal uncles thought a union between mary and francis would be to their advantage because through the marriage Scotland would fall under french rule or at least unite the countries, due to the fact that Mary although a crowned queen in her own right was still under the control of her husband.

Mary went to France because her mother sent her there! She had no choice! She was only 6 years old and they also wanted her 2 get a totally good education, France had the best educational services. So she never chose 2 go 2 France, her mother chose for her.

THE CALL OF DUTY IN NOBLE FAMILIES IS KNOWN FOR CENTURIES. THIS IS THE REASON WHY ELIZABETH I DID NOT GET MARRIED. SHE WAS QUESTIONED THOUSAND TIMES TO MARY SPAIN, OR FRANCE'S GAY NOBLE ARROGANT PRINCE. SOMETIMES THERE IS LOVE BUT MOST OF THE TIME IS JUST A CALL OF DUTY TO THE CROWN.
