An illustrated guide to the life and times of one of the most romantic and tragic figures in British history, Mary Queen of Scots.
Taking you through the story of her life, it outlines Mary's early years as the Infant Queen before her childhood in France and her short-lived marriage to Francis I. It then moves on to her time in Scotland and her scandalous marriage to Lord Darnley and her abduction by her third husband, Lord Bothwell. It also covers her long years of imprisonment and ultimately her execution by her own cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, after being accused of treason.
Reissued in a brand new hardback format and beautifully illustrated with images from the time of key sites, portraits and artefacts, this fascinating book uncovers the secrets of a tragic life and reveals why her story still resonates today. It's a must-read for any student of history or visitor to Britain.
