Mary Queen of Scots

One of the most romantic and controversial figures of British history, Mary Queen of Scots has always captured the popular imagination.

In writing the biography of this tragic and dramatic life, Antonia Fraser studied the published and manuscript sources in Scotland, France and England and visited every important place connected with Mary. During the course of her research she became fascinated by the development of Mary’s character – how this beautiful girl, so gay and pleasure-seeking in youth, developed in middle age into a woman capable of dying one of the most noble deaths in history. In this remarkable book Antonia Fraser has provided a moving answer to the question “what was Mary Queen of Scots really like?”
