Book Review of Mary, Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots
reviewed on + 158 more book reviews


"She was the quintessential queen: statuesque, regal, dazzlingly beautiful. Her royal birth gave her claims to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French Dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head. Instead, Mary Stuart became the victim of her own impulsive heart, scandalizing her world with a foolish passion that would lead to abduction, rape, and even murder."

If this were a novel, I would never believe it, but it all really happened.
