I think Richard paid off the troubadours. Also mum was pretty good at that sort of thing. And there is a great taste for romantic idiots out there. This also explains Scott's popularity.
Let us not forget, in the list of Mary's stupidities, that she insisted on taking asylum in England instead of France, because she was confident that a cousin Queen wouldn't do anything to her.
Especially after she had laid claim to her throne and said she was illegitimate. That always makes queens love you.
