A Dramatic Reinterpretation Of The Life Of Mary, Queen Of Scots. Crowned Queen Of Scotland At Nine Months Of Age, And Queen Of France At 16, At 18 Mary Ascended The Throne That Was Her Birthright And Began Ruling One Of The Most Fractious Courts In Europe, Riven By Religious Conflict And Personal Lust For Power. She Rode Out At The Head Of An Army In Both Victory And Defeat; Saw Her Second Husband Assassinated, And Married His Murderer. She Was A Woman So Magnetic, So Brilliant In Conversation That Her Cousin, Elizabeth I, Refused To Meet Her In The Course Of Their Lifetimes For Fear Of Being Overshadowed Or Outwitted. At 25 She Entered Captivity At The Hands Of Her Rival Queen, From Which Only Death Would Release Her. The Life Of Mary Stuart Is One Of Unparalleled Drama And Conflict. From The Labyrinthine Plots Laid By The Scottish Lords To Wrest Power For Themselves, To The Efforts Made By Elizabeth'S Ministers To Invalidate Mary'S Legitimate Claim To The English Throne, John Guy Returns To The Archives To Explode The Myths And Correct The Inaccuracies That Surround This Most Fascinating Monarch. He Also Explains A Central Mystery: Why Mary Would Have Consented To Marry Only Three Months After The Death Of Her Second Husband, Lord Darnley The Man Who Was Said To Be His Killer, The Earl Of Bothwell. He Also Solves, Through Careful Reexamination Of The Casket Letters, The Secret Behind Darnley'S Spectacular Assassination At Kirk O'Field. With Great Pathos, Guy Illuminates How The Imprisoned Mary'S Despair Led To A Reckless Plot Against Elizabeth And Thus To Her Own Execution. The Portrait That Emerges Is Not Of A Political Pawn Or A Manipulative Siren, But Of A Shrewd And Charismatic Young Ruler Who Relished Power And, For A Time, Managed To Hold Together A Fatally Unstable Country. The Book Is A Work Of Historical Scholarship That Offers Radical New Interpretations Of An Ancient Story.
