What does "Mary returned AS A WINDOW to her own capital of Edinburgh" mean?
Mary Stewart was born a few days after her father's death. James V, Mary's father, died in 1542, thus leaving her queen in infancy. She was sent to France at the age of five to be brought up by her mother's family. In 1588 she was married to the Dauphin of France, later Francis II. Two years later, in 1560, her husband died. Mary returned AS A WINDOW to her own capital of Edinburgh.

Question

Answer

It is likely that the author intended to write "widow" instead of "window." In this case, a widow is a woman whose husband has died. The male equivalent is a widower.
