Latitude is a measurement on a globe or map of location north or south of the Equator. Technically, there are different kinds of latitude—geocentric, astronomical, and geographic (or geodetic)—but there are only minor differences between them. In most common references, geocentric latitude is implied. Given in degrees, minutes, and seconds, geocentric latitude is the arc subtended by an angle at Earth’s centre and measured in a north-south plane poleward from the Equator. Thus, a point at 30°15′20″ N subtends an angle of 30°15′20″at the centre of the globe; similarly, the arc between the Equator and either geographic pole is 90° (one-fourth the circumference of Earth, or 1/4 × 360°), and thus the greatest possible latitudes are 90° N and 90° S.
The purpose of this excerpt is that It speaks about the setting of the play.
Explanation:
The three liens are extremely economical at setting up the situation for the rest of the play here. The lines first convey that the parents are enraged and that the children are at fault. It also shows that they cannot do anything about it.

In 1558, she married the Dauphin of France, Francis. In 1560, Francis died and left Mary as the Queen of Scotland. She remarried to Lord Darnley and had a child with him but in 1567, he was found murdered in the garden. She then married James Hepburn VI but was imprisoned after an uprising against them. After an unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne, Mary fled to her first cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. Seeing her as a threat, Elizabeth had her confined in various castles. After 18 years in custody, Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate the Queen in 1586 and was beheaded in 1587.
