Book Description

From Publishers Weekly
Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587), has for centuries fascinated historians
and the general public, her life the stuff of Hollywood myth, involving
murder, rape, adultery, abdication, imprisonment and execution. In bestselling
historian Weir’s (Henry VIII, etc.) able hands, we see the young Catholic
queen ruling over Protestant Scotland and a group of unruly nobles.
Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley, participated in the 1566 murder
of Mary’s favorite adviser, David Rizzio, after which Mary and Lord
Darnley became estranged. Darnley himself was murdered the next year,
and some historians have claimed that Mary plotted his death so she
could marry her lover, Bothwell. But Weir argues convincingly that the
evidence against Mary is fraudulent, part of a coverup initiated by
rebellious lords. Weir tells how and why Darnley was killed, and, shockingly,
reveals that Bothwell, whom Mary did marry, was one of the murderers.
Mary’s lords took up arms against her, and she was forced to abdicate,
fleeing to England, where she expected her cousin Queen Elizabeth to
help her regain her throne. Instead, Mary was held captive for 16 years
and finally beheaded for plotting Elizabeth’s assassination. Mary could
not hope for a better advocate than Weir, who exhaustively evaluates
the evidence against her and finds it lacking. Mary’s ultimate sin,
according to Weir, was not murder but consistently "poor judgment,"
especially in choosing men. This is entertaining popular history that
will satisfy fans of Weir’s previous bestsellers. 16 pages of color
illus.
