This novel is the sequel to a novel I read and reviewed earlier this year called The Royal Road To Fotheringhay. The first book was about Mary Queen Of Scot's early life and this one is about her time as an adult when she is imprisoned in England by Queen Elizabeth who is the daughter of Henry the VIII. The Captive Queen is a sad book as all attempts to rescue Mary Queen of Scots are failed attempts and every one who tries to help her seems to lose their head. In fact in the end so does she. Mary Queen of Scots is Catholic and Queen Elizabeth is protestant and this seems to be one of the main problems as this was before the idea of separation of church of state. I enjoy the historical novels about the Queens of medieval times in Europe and Jean Plaidy does a nice job with them. Be sure and click on the links above to more information and enjoy the video that follows.
