The life of Mary Stuart was filled with unprecedented drama and contradictions. Having become Queen of Scots at the age of nine months, and Queen of France at sixteen, she ascended the throne that was her birthright at eighteen. As head of one of the most turbulent countries in Europe, torn apart by religious conflict and power struggles, Mary led armies to victory and defeat; she survived the murder of her second husband and married the one who was called his killer. At twenty-five, she was captured by another queen, Elizabeth Tudor, who signed Mary's death sentence after nineteen years of imprisonment. The renowned historian and biographer John Guy examines the maze of conspiracies that the Scottish lords wove to seize power, and the efforts that Elizabeth's ministers made to exclude Mary from the rightful heirs to the English throne. It offers completely new interpretations of a famous story that has inspired writers, poets, composers, artists and directors for many centuries. The book is the basis for a 2018 UK film starring Saoirse Ronan as Mary and Margot Robbie as Elizabeth. “I decided to write a new biography of Maria. I wanted to get to the bottom of it: to see a woman whose choice was clear and whose decisions were logical, and not a collection of stereotypes or convenient and poorly consistent myths. I wanted to tell the story of Mary Stuart, giving the floor to her, if possible, and at the same time show why other people's testimonies about the same events are strikingly different from her point of view. (John Guy)
