Mary has always been one of the great romantic figures of Scottish history. From her French marriage and her struggles with John Knox, through her dramatic escape from Loch Leven castle and flight into England, to her brutal execution at Fotheringay Castle, her story has become almost a legend through the centuries. Incorporating the latest research on Mary's reign, John Hunter discusses the impact of the Reformation on Scotland and the struggles between Mary and Knox and the Reformers, as well as telling the exciting story of Mary's life and turbulent times.
