Mary, Queen of Scots

About this book

"Mary, Queen of Scots, that most charismatic of monarchs, has been much written and speculated about. Was she betrayed, condemned by her cousin Elizabeth, or was she a murdering adulteress with her husband's blood on her hands? This book, specially written to accompany the exhibition of the same name (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, 28 June-17 November 2013, takes a fresh look at Mary, using over 120 objects associated with her - jewels, textiles, furniture, documents and portraits from Scottish and international collections. This is the first major exhibition of Mary, Queen of Scots artefacts for more than a century and the book provides an authoritative analysis of what is authentic and what is not"--Publisher's description.
