The haunting story of the beautiful—and tragic—Mary, Queen of Scots, as only legendary novelist Jean Plaidy could write it Mary Stuart became Queen of Scotland at the tender age of six days old. Her French-born mother, the Queen Regent, knew immediately that the infant queen would be a vulnerable pawn in the power struggle between Scotland’s clans and nobles. So Mary was sent away from the land of her birth and raised in the sophisticated and glittering court of France. Unusually tall and slim, a writer of music and poetry, Mary was celebrated throughout Europe for her beauty and intellect. Married in her teens to the Dauphin François, she would become not only Queen of Scotland but Queen of France as well. But Mary’s happiness was short-lived. Her husband, always sickly, died after only two years on the throne, and there was no place for Mary in the court of the new king. At the age of twenty, she returned to Scotland, a place she barely knew. Once home, the Queen of Scots discovered she was a stranger in her own country. She spoke only French and was a devout Catholic in a land of stern Presbyterians. Her nation was controlled by a quarrelsome group of lords, including her illegitimate half brother, the Earl of Moray, and by John Knox, a fire-and-brimstone Calvinist preacher, who denounced the young queen as a Papist and a whore. Mary eventually remarried, hoping to find a loving ally in the Scottish Lord Darnley. But Darnley proved violent and untrustworthy. When he died mysteriously, suspicion fell on Mary. In haste, she married Lord Bothwell, the prime suspect in her husband’s murder, a move that outraged all of Scotland. When her nobles rose against her, the disgraced Queen of Scots fled to England, hoping to be taken in by her cousin Elizabeth I. But Mary’s flight from Scotland led not to safety, but to Fotheringhay Castle.

"Superb.... A perceptive, suspenseful account." --The New York Times Book Review "Dunn demythologizes Elizabeth and Mary. In humanizing their dynamic and shifting relationship, Dunn describes it as fueled by both rivalry and their natural solidarity as women in an overwhelmingly masculine world." --Boston Herald The political and religious conflicts between Queen Elizabeth I and the doomed Mary, Queen of Scots, have for centuries captured our imagination and inspired memorable dramas played out on stage, screen, and in opera. But few books have brought to life more vividly the exquisite texture of two women’s rivalry, spurred on by the ambitions and machinations of the forceful men who surrounded them. The drama has terrific resonance even now as women continue to struggle in their bid for executive power. Against the backdrop of sixteenth-century England, Scotland, and France, Dunn paints portraits of a pair of protagonists whose formidable strengths were placed in relentless opposition. Protestant Elizabeth, the bastard daughter of Anne Boleyn, whose legitimacy had to be vouchsafed by legal means, glowed with executive ability and a visionary energy as bright as her red hair. Mary, the Catholic successor whom England’s rivals wished to see on the throne, was charming, feminine, and deeply persuasive. That two such women, queens in their own right, should have been contemporaries and neighbours sets in motion a joint biography of rare spark and page-turning power.

On 8 February 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots, was led to the scaffold in Fotheringhay Castle and knelt before her executioner. But how did this royal lady, who had been Queen of both France and Scotland during her lifetime, end up this in this situation? The life of Mary, Queen of Scots, is full of twists and turns, murder and abduction, love and betrayal. Six days after she was born her father, James V of Scotland, died leaving the young infant Queen of Scotland. The world that she was born into was full of turmoil as religious conflict erupted violently across Europe as Catholics clashed with Protestants and old rivalries between France, Scotland and England reemerged in the wake of dynastic struggles. The Life Of Mary Queen Of Scots by P. C. Headley provides fascinating insight into the world of sixteenth century Scotland and the tragic life of one of its most famous queens. Mary was a prolific letter writer throughout her life, but particularly during the period she spent in prison across castles in England and Scotland, and Headley has used these to provide vivid accounts of what Mary's life was like during the years and months before her eventual execution. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the life of Mary Queen of Scots as well as that of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth of England. P.C. Headley was prolific historian and biographer. He wrote upon a wide range of subjects including biographies of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan, and numerous books on religion. His book The Life Of Mary Queen Of Scots was first published in 1860 and Headley passed away in 1903.
