Queen of Scots at six days old; married at fifteen in Paris to the Dauphin of France; Queen of France at sixteen; widowed at eighteen; dead at forty-four. Mary Stuart's tumultuous life and tragic death continue to enthral us today. Utilising contemporary documents, Jan-Marie Knights tracks the fascinating story of Mary's life and death by creating a diary-style blow-by-blow account of her actions and movements.

Love, murder and abdication feature, culminating in a failed assassination plot and her ultimate demise. The Life and Death of Mary, Queen of Scots is a fascinating insight into one of British history's most complicated and contentious queens.
