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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMary Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“She was sometimes reviled as a scheming whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr.
