This is a scholarly (un-romanticized) but eminently readable book that details the intrigue and scandal swirling around Mary and the struggle over whether the country that became Great Britain would be Roman Catholic or Protestant. It also provides a great deal of evidence about who murdered Lord Darnley, the husband forced on Mary by the English nobles. Raised in the court of France as a Roman Catholic and advised by the Scottish Catholic nobles, Mary was the center of a world of conspiracy that included the Vatican and France and that landed her, still scheming, imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I of England until she was beheaded on February 8, 1587. This is a fascinating look into a world where even a Queen with considerable will and international backing could be dominated and used by the noblemen and clergy around her. |
