Mary of Guise

As mother of Mary Queen of Scots, Mary of Guise was often overshadowed by her more famous daughter. However, this intelligent and energetic woman also led an intriguing life of her own. Daughter of a powerful French family, a staunch Roman Catholic and subtle politican, she acted as Regent for her young daughter and was keen to ensure that Scottish loyalties lay with France rather than Protestant England. This fascinating story of a strong-willed woman who lived through turbulent times is both a compelling biography and a history lesson.
