Sort of. Bess's fourth husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, was Mary's jailer and 
the two ladies did embroidery together, but later the marriage broke down on 
account of Bess's jealousy of Mary. Bess is buried here in Derby and Lord S. in 
Sheffield.

Speculatio on my part -- weren't Bess and Mary Queen of Scots friends? 
Might that have been a political statement on her part?  Would that
have been a safe thing to do?
