Excerpt: ... his satisfaction at seeing his half-brother Moray vested in the Regency, appears to have allowed his zeal for the new re'gime to overcome his sense of the consideration due to his unfortunate but distinguished captive, for we are told that he celebrated that event by lighting bonfires and firing all the available pieces of ordnance on the Castle walls, and otherwise indulging in boisterous demonstrations of rejoicing. These could not fail to be distasteful and painful to the Queen. Weakened in health and crushed by the calamities thickly gathering around her, she had evidently not been informed of what was transpiring outside the walls of her room, for when, startled by the noise and commotion, she enquired as to the cause-of the uproar, she was informed that it was in celebra tion of the coronation of her infant son as her successor. This unpalatable explanation was conveyed to her by Sir William Douglas himself, and in course of the painful interview which ensued between the Queen and him in her apartment, the unhappy captive, overwhelmed by a sense of her utter helplessness, and realizing probably for the first time how little she had to expect from the tender mercies of her enemies, in a paroxysm of grief threw herself upon her knees in CHAPTER V the middle of her chamber near the table and wept long and bitterly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Queen of Scots: Catholic martyr or manipulative femme fatale On 10 February 1567, conspirators bent on killing Henry, Lord Darnley, King-Consort of Mary Queen of Scots successfully razed his Edinburgh residence at Kirk o' Field in a huge explosion. Soon afterwards, Darnley's partially-clothed body was discovered in a nearby orchard, strangled to death by an unknown assailant. Rumours of Mary's involvement in his murder quickly surfaced. Placards across Edinburgh implied that she had provoked the Earl of Bothwell into killing her husband in a crime of passion. This became more plausible when she tried to avoid having to prosecute him for the murder, and subsequently married him, encouraged by her most senior Protestant nobles. While Mary's motives for the marriage might be explained by her need for his protection, those of the Nobility who had encourage it are confusing. Why would they want a union, which would inevitably place Bothwell, a man they hated, as head of government? Was their motif to associate her in the murder plot? Mary's involvement in Darnley's murder has remained one of the great historical mysteries. Genealogist and author Robert Stedall has spent ten years researching the inter-marriages within Scottish peerage to provide an explanation for their motives in removing Mary from the throne. In this first volume, of his two volume history of Mary and James, he explains in vivid detail the switching allegiances of the nobility, and can reveal for the first time, the gripping true story of Mary's downfall and imprisonment.
