Mary Stuart: The Tragic Queen of Scotland
In “A Symphony of Echoes” by Jodi Taylor, Max and the team from St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research jump back to Edinburgh in 1567 to correct the Mary Stuart anomaly.
Here we explore the life, reign, and legacy of Mary Stuart, a queen whose story continues to fascinate and captivate audiences centuries after her death. Mary Stuart, often referred to as Mary, Queen of Scots, remains one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in Scottish and English history. Born into the royal House of Stuart, Mary's tumultuous life was marked by political intrigue, religious conflict, and personal tragedy.
