Her royal birth gave her claim to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head. Instead, Mary Stuart became the victim of her own impulsive heart, scandalizing her world with a foolish passion that would lead to abduction, rape and even murder. Betrayed by those she most trusted, she would be lured into a deadly game of power, only to lose to her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth I. Here is her story, a queen who lost a throne for love, a monarch pampered and adored even as she was led to her beheading, the unforgettable woman who became a legend for all time. Praise for Mary Queen of Scots “She was sometimes reviled as a scheming whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr. But she was invariably regarded as fascinating. Antonia Fraser’s richly readable biography demonstrates that Mary’s great fascination continues unabated.” — Time “Compassionate, illuminating, rich in human interest.” — The New York Times ”One of the most fascinating figures in history.” — The Columbus Dispatch “With grace, sensitivity, and a sharp eye for detail, lady Antonia Fraser has succeeded not only in recapturing the real Mary from the symbol but also in illuminating the chaotic age in which she lived.” — Newsweek Review: Long but interesting - I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I did not know very much Scottish history and it presented an intriguing background for me causing a,need to know more!! The constant infighting between royal factions, the constant search for marriage partners, and the constant arguing about whose in charge would leave one exhausted.. I am amazed that France, England,Spain and Scotland could function as governments at all. I was intrigued more and more with each chapter to see how Mary was going t o pull This one off!!! I praise her loyal servants and unabashed commitment to her Catholic faith. Although it takes commitment to read the book as there can be very long narratives at times, I believe any true history buff will want to be read Mary Queen of Scott' t is well worth any European history buff to check it out. Review: I highly recommend. The only reason I gave it four stars ... - After watching three seasons of Reign on the CW, I decided to learn about the real Mary Stuart. And oh my goodness - her real life is SO much more interesting than that show! This is a very enlightening book on the life of the Scottish Queen, as well as the people who surrounded her during her lifetime. I highly recommend. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the author frequently quotes French letters and poems and such without providing a translation until the end of the chapter. That might not be a big deal in paperback, but it sure was annoying on the kindle. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #195,900 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Scotland History #66 in Historical France Biographies #77 in Historical British Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,108 Reviews | ## Images ![Mary Queen of Scots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RyaQ6piLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long but interesting *by M***S on February 17, 2017* I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

What I had intended as a comparison piece on historical fact actually turned into a page-turning, complex tale about a woman caught in the confines of duty and circumstance. There were times reading this book that I felt so emotionally attached to the titular figure that I was left, as the front of the book predicts, very moved. Fraser is a master historian, researcher and storyteller, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. As she often does, Fraser includes so much more than the average person would ever need to know about the Scottish queen, but that helped me personally understand her motives and intentions all the more. Though I did find a woman much different that 'Reign's lead heroine, I met an historical figure that will forever entrance, and enchant, me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/4789179-mary-queen-of-scots](https://www.desertcart.de/products/4789179-mary-queen-of-scots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
