Mary Queen of Scots

Elizabeth Speakman O'Neill

4.9/5 (34717 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots: Mary Stewart is one of the great romantic figures in history. The romance of her life has indeed cast a glamour, which has somewhat shrouded her personality. To some, she has appeared as a saint, to others, almost as a devil incarnate. A saner study of the psychology of her temperament has led the more reliable among her modern biographers to quite other conclusions. She was born at Linlithgow on the 8th of December 1542. Her father, James V. of Scotland, lay dying at Falkland, and with the news that a daughter and not a son was born to him, his cup of bitterness was full. "It came with a lass and it will go with a lass," he wailed, with a pessimism not accurately prophetic. The kingdom to which the baby princess succeeded, as first queen in her own right Scotland had ever had, had been but a chequered heritage since the accession of James I. in 1423.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
