Crown of Thistles by Linda Porter
Details
Back into the past for our next choice, as we find out the story behind one of history’s greatest rivalries: Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I.
The struggle between the Stuarts and Tudors Tudors is usually seen only in terms of the relationship between Elizabeth I and her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, but little is said about the background to it.
Linda Porter examines the ancient and intractable power struggle between England and Scotland. It is the story of a divided family, of flamboyant kings and queens, cultured courts and tribal hatreds, rape and sexual licence on a breath-taking scale, blood feuds and violent deaths.
Can't wait. 😊
