Synopsis

The execution of Mary Queen of Scots within the castle of
Fotheringhay on the morning of 8 February 1587 is one of the most
sensational events in British History. Here - published in full for the
first time - is one of the key eyewitness narratives of the execution
prepared by Sir Robert Wingfield of Upton for his uncle, the authoritarian
Lord Burghley, chief minister of Elizabeth I. Completed three days after
the event it describes, Wingfield's account is a remarkably powerful,
immediate and dramatic piece of reportage.
With a foreword by Antonia Fraser.
