Mary, Queen of Scots: The Battle for Scotland (Part 3)

Tom and Dominic discuss Mary Queen of Scots’ return to her native land of Scotland; the unfamiliar ruler of a dangerous land...

Following the death of her husband, the King of France, was the glamorous Mary welcomed back to Scotland, her kingdom since infancy, with open arms or deep suspicion? Did she handle the precarious situation in which she found herself well, or recklessly? Did the majority of Scottish nobles side with Mary, or plot to usurp her in the shadows? When her eye turned on the crown of her wealthier neighbour, England, how did its reigning queen, Elizabeth I, react? And, who was the man that Mary choose to take as her second husband…?
