This brooch is believed to have been given by Mary, Queen of Scots to one of her closest attendants. Mary Seton was a devoted assistant and friend of Mary, and lived with her at the Palace of Holyroodhouse from 1561–6 after spending her childhood in France with the young Queen.

The brooch dates from around 1580 and is made from enamelled gold and studded with pearls and rubies. It is on display in Mary, Queen of Scots’ Outer Chamber at the Palace.

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.
