Mary Queen of Scots

- A Brief History

Mary Queen of Scotsaf Ian Douglas
Bag om Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Queen of Scots returned from France to Scotland in a royal fleet to rule as queen, aged only eighteen. She left seven years later, exhausted and terrified, in a small fishing boat. Mary had tried to rule Scotland during one of the most turbulent times in Scotland's history. Mary's personal life was turbulent too. She had been married three times by the age of twenty-four. Her first marriage was probably unconsummated and was to the future King of France. Mary was Queen of France until her husband died. Her second marriage was to her cousin Lord Darnley, and the third to the Earl of Bothwell, a clan warlord. Neither was the type of man any parent would want their daughter to marry! This book describes the life of this fascinating and ultimately tragic queen, who lived and tried to rule at a momentous time in Scotland's history. This is the second, expanded edition of the highly popular book.
