Not long after the family happiness was crushed as tuberculosis killed the king, their brother-in-law and his wife. They adopted their niece Margaret and she was raised as Louis's sister. Mary was a good queen to the French and Francis II was liked as a good king. In 1543 she went to England as a visitor to her brother's coronation. She didn't live to become the Queen Mother to Louis as she died of an illness in 1561 but she was buried with honors in the Basilica of St Denis in Paris. In 1573 her husband asked to be buried next to her and to add a carving on the tomb saying: C'est là que réside la plus grande reine France ait jamais eu (Here lies the Greatest Queen France ever had).
