Synopsis:

Mary Queen of Scots (1542-87) is the tragic heroine par excellence. Because of the religious aspects of her turbulent reign, she is still capable of rousing strong passions. This books aims to strip away the Catholic and Protestant myths and distortions and get at the true facts of Mary's life in the context of Anglo-Scottish relations.
