Mary Queen of Scots is perhaps one of the most controversial and
divisive monarchs in regal history. Her story reads like a
particularly spicy novel, with murder, kidnap, adultery,
assassination and execution. To some she is one of the most wronged
women in history, a pawn used and abused by her family in the great
monarchical marriage game; to others, a murderous adulteress who
committed regicide to marry her lover and then spent years in
captivity for the crime, endlessly plotting the demise of her
cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England. This book covers the
breathtaking scope of her amazing life and examines the immense
cultural legacy she left behind, from the Schiller play of the
1800s to The CW teen drama Reign. Temptress, terrorist, or tragic
queen, this book will give you the lowdown on one of history's most
misunderstood monarchs.

collection of 366 words and their definitions, perfect for anyone
