This book describes a crucial period in British and European history and provides an insight into the life and personality of one of its most compelling characters, Mary Queen of Scots. Mary was only nine days old when she became Queen of Scotland. At one time it seemed possible that she could become queen of Scotland, France and England. But she spent her last years in prison and finally was beheaded on the order of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I. A curriculum note in the book shows how it fits in with the National Curriculum syllabus and there is also a word list and time chart.
