An enthralling account of Mary, Queen of Scots' captivity in England, revealing intrigue, plots, and political turmoil.
Discover a thrilling true story of treachery, deceit, hope, and despair.
From the moment Mary, Queen of Scots set foot on English soil in 1568 until her execution at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 February 1587, she was the prisoner of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Unlike Mary's time on the Scottish throne, the dramatic events of these years—almost half her life—took place while she was a captive. But while trouble was perpetually simmering beyond her prison walls, within them Mary was constantly plotting. Only towards the end did she lose faith in returning to her homeland as rightful ruler.
This is the story of Mary's tumultuous later years, told through the many atmospheric locations where she was confined. Drawing on the latest research, including a treasure trove of recently decoded letters, Exile sheds fascinating new light on her captivity and the charged political climate of the period. Reading like a sixteenth-century thriller, this account of treachery, deceit, hope, and despair is a penetrating and enthralling psychological portrait of one of history's endlessly fascinating queens.
