The Casket letters were eight letters and some sonnets said to have been written by Mary, Queen of Scots, to the Earl of Bothwell, between January and April 1567. They were produced as evidence against Queen Mary by the Scottish lords who opposed her rule. In particular, the text of the letters was taken to imply that Queen Mary colluded with Bothwell in the murder of her husband, Lord Darnley. Mary's contemporary supporters, including Adam Blackwood, dismissed them as complete forgeries or letters written by the Queen's servant Mary Beaton. The authenticity of the letters, now known only by copies, continues to be debated. Some historians argue that they were forgeries concocted in order to discredit Queen Mary and ensure that Queen Elizabeth I supported the kingship of the infant James V

Sie waren das Hauptbeweismittel in der Untersuchung der Konferenz von York und Westminster 1568–1569. Hier versuchten schottische Adlige, die Maria abgesetzt hatten, vor einem englischen Schiedsgericht die Mitwisserschaft Marias an dem Mord an ihrem Ehemann Lord Henry Darnley nachzuweisen. James Douglas, 4. Earl of Morton, behauptete, sie seien in Edinburgh in einer silbernen Kassette mit einem eingravierten F (angeblich für Franz II.) gefunden worden, zusammen mit anderen Dokumenten (darunter die Heiratsurkunde von Maria und James Hepburn und ein Gedicht). Maria wurde es nicht gestattet, die Briefe zu sehen. (de) Kassettbreven (engelska casket letters) kallas åtta brev från Maria Stuart till hennes gunstling och senare gemål, Bothwell, vilka hennes fiender påstod sig ha funnit efter hans flykt i ett honom tillhörigt silverskrin och vilka, om äktheten vore obestridlig, skulle fastslå Marias skuld till mordet på hennes gemål Darnley 1567.
