The confrontation at Carberry Hill on 15 June 1567 ended Mary Queen of Scots' personal rule without a battle being fought. Both armies faced each other across the Edinburgh plain while negotiations dragged through the heat of the day. Mary's army melted away and Bothwell fled to Scandinavia. Mary surrendered to the Confederate Lords and was imprisoned at Lochleven. She abdicated in favour of her infant son James VI. The advance to Carberry Hill was the culmination of the crisis over the murder of Darnley.
