Mary Queen of Scots Biography Paperback Book by Antonia Fraser from Dell 1971

Mary passed her childhood in France & married the Dauphin to become Queen of France at 16. 

Widowed less than 2 years later, she returned to Scotland as Queen after a 13 year absence.

Her life then entered its best known phase: early struggles with John Knox & the Scottish nobility; marriage to Darnley & his mysterious death; marriage to Bothwell, the chief suspect, that led directly to her captivity at the hands of Queen Elizabeth; her long imprisonment that ended with the labyrinthine Babington plot to free her & her execution at age 44.

Fraser's biography, 4 years in the writing, enters fully into the life of an historical figure who continues to capture the popular imagination, & provides an answer to the question, `What was Mary Queen of Scots really like?'
