About this title

Synopsis

Behind the legend of Mary, Queen of Scots lies a dossier of accusations that once shook Europe. In this searing contemporary indictment, humanist scholar George Buchanan dissects the murder of Lord Darnley, the rise of Earl Bothwell, and the storm of royal conspiracy and adultery that engulfed the Scottish court. These pages crackle with danger. Written at the heart of sixteenth century Scotland and the Scottish Reformation politics that remade the realm, this historical political treatise is both a primary source history text and a classic reformation pamphlet, revealing how Marys actions were judged by some of her own countrymen and how the true lords rallied to defend the young kings authority. For readers of Mary Queen of Scots history and the wider Tudor and Stuart monarchy, Buchanan offers an unfiltered, partisan voice from the period itself: sharp, forensic, and fiercely engaged. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for Tudor history students, scholars in need of a reliable scholarly research reference, and general enthusiasts of court intrigue and religious upheaval, it stands as both gripping testimony to the Mary Queen of Scots scandal and a vital artifact of how history was argued, weaponised, and recorded in real time.
