‘A magnificently readable, well documented book, that captures the mood of the times, and shows how intrigue and expediency coloured the life of a nation ... splendidly illustrated.’--Edinburgh Evening News
A new edition of the acclaimed life of Mary, Queen of Scots, one of the most extraordinary and controversial figures in Scottish history— and perhaps the most tragic. Her life has intrigued people ever since her dramatic death in 1597. Was she a promiscuous murderer or was she the innocent, misunderstood victim of evil enemies? Did she love David Riccio? And why did she marry the Earl of Bothwell, the man everyone believed was guilty of his murder?
Dr Rosalind Marshall is an award-winning professional historian and the author of many books and articles on Scottish history and personalities, including an acclaimed biography, Bonnie Prince Charlie.
