We are going to have a look at one of the 16th centuries famous queen's, her execution and burial’s - yes burial’s as in plural. She was one of the most enigmatic and fascinating women of the 16th century - Mary - Queen of Scots.
Mary stirred up ferocious controversy in her own lifetime, earning the suitable moniker "the daughter of debate" from her cousin Queen Elizabeth. To her political opponents though, she was a calculating adulteress, if not a murderess, but, to her supporters she was something very different - she was looked upon as a romantic and yet tragic figure who they believed that Mary was someone that continually acted on bad advice submitted by those that were closest to her. Someone who couldn't handle the pressures imposed and that she was only a pawn in the hands of cunning nobility who as time went by she found harder and harder to control.
So join me to take a look at Mary’s life story.
