Mary Queen of Scots is one of history’s polarising characters. For some, she was a victim and a Catholic martyr, for others a manipulative schemer and the author of her own misfortune. Queen of Scotland by birth and of France by marriage, she was deposed and imprisoned in Scotland after she was implicated in the murder of her second husband. Having escaped from prison in Scotland, she fled to England, hoping for support from her cousin Elizabeth, but found herself a prisoner once again.Mary was held prisoner at Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire on four occasions. She left Tutbury for the last time in 1585 when she was moved to nearby Chartley. From there she was sent to Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire where she was executed in 1586.
Here is a chance to meet Mary Queen of Scots in full authentic costume during her imprisonment at Tutbury, where she spent a lot of time reading, writing letters, and doing embroidery. Learn about Mary’s three marriages and about life in general in Tudor times.
