Synopsis

The "MERLIN" series is designed to provide introductions to key periods of Scottish history. It is suitable for the older child or the adult who wants a basic understanding of a period. A narrative is based around a main character used to illuminate the life and times in which he or she lived. Mary Queen of Scots has always been one of the great romantic figures of Scottish history. From her French marriage and her struggles with John Knox, through her dramatic escape from Loch Leven Castle and flight into England, to her brutal execution at Fotheringay Castle, her story has become legendary through the centuries. Incorporating the latest research on Mary's reign, this book discusses the impact of the Reformation on Scotland and the struggles between Mary and Knox and the Reformers, as well as telling the story of Mary's life and turbulent times.
