From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dragsholm Castle (Dansk-Dragsholm Slot) is a fortification and Noble residence on the Danish island of Zealand (Dansk-Sjaelland). Construction was started by the Bishop of Roskilde in the twelfth century.

James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, consort of Mary, Queen of Scots met his end here, as a prisoner of King Frederik. There is a mummified body on show at the nearby Fārvejle church, that is supposed to be that of Bothwell.
