Royal Road To Fotheringhay by Jean Plaidy




by


This historical novel about Mary Queen Of Scots is a very enjoyable book.   It is available on Kindle, Nook and in Google Books.  The 356 pages are an easy read and the novel is written in a manner  that holds one's attention.  It is a sad story of how Queen Mary is used and manipulated by those around her.  She experiences a happy first marriage,  although both bride and groom were very young.  But when her husband,  the King of France,  dies her life takes a turn for the worse.  She returns to rule Scotland but religious discord and political agendas suck her into a tragic end.  Both her second and third husbands put up a front to court her but only were after the power of being King of Scotland that  a marriage to the Queen of Scots could offer them.   Immediately following both marriages the men began to show their true colors.  Mary spent the last twenty years of her life in prison for suspicion of being involved in the death of her second husband and was beheaded in the end.   Be sure to click on the title and author's name above,  and the highlighted words with in the text to follow links to more information.  Also,  enjoy the video that follows.
