About this title

Synopsis

Mary Queen of Scots lived during one of the most fascinating periods in history. This epic work paints a unique picture of this controversial woman, showing her to be neither a Catholic martyr nor murdering adulteress, but rather a young woman out of her depth caught up in the sea of ruthless sixteenth-century politics. She relied on her beauty and charm and allowed herself to be a victim of circumstance. When she finally did attempt to control her future, she set in motion the events that would lead her to the executioner s block, sentenced to die by none other than her cousin, Queen Elizabeth. Here is the colorful and dramatic life of Mary Queen of Scots and the story of her dramatic downfall.
