Her beauty and sexual attractiveness -- at 5ft 11in, Mary was about a foot taller than the average woman -- gave her cousin Elizabeth I all the more reason to eventually execute her for treason in 1587, Ms Smith said. Having one's head cut off will definitely take a few inches off one's overall height...

The day that MQoS was executed, Elizabeth shut herself up in her bedchamber, but her unstrung weeping could be heard through the doors.

So women in those days were only 4’11”?
I wonder if this is one of those cases where the inch was the length of the king’s thumb and then they got a new queen (so possibly Mary was 71 of her own thumb-lengths tall?)
