Did she handle the precarious situation in which she found herself well, or recklessly? Did the majority of Scottish nobles side with Mary, or plot to usurp her in the shadows? When her eye turned on the crown of her wealthier neighbour, England, how did its reigning queen, Elizabeth I, react? And, who was the man that Mary choose to take as her second husband…? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss Mary Queen of Scots’ polarising return to her native land of Scotland, riven by religious factionalism and political disquiet, and the terrible dangers of being a Scottish queen in more than name alone. 00:00 Knox confronts Mary Queen of Scots 03:24 The Scottish Reformation as a modern revolution 04:12 Mary’s vulnerability as a young queen 10:54 Mary recreates a French court in Scotland 13:03 Mary’s early popularity and image as a glamorous queen 15:07 Knox’s and Protestant hostility toward Mary 23:32 Mary’s weak political engagement and poor council appointments 29:15 Mary's religious ambiguity and European uniqueness 31:06 Mary’s homesickness and nostalgia for France 35:01 Scandal: Poet hides under Mary’s bed 37:15 Why Mary tolerates Protestant abuse 38:03 Mary’s ambition for the English throne 44:32 Matthew Stewart (Lennox) returns to Scotland 46:12 Mary meets Henry Lord Darnley 57:00 Mary and Darnley’s wedding and chilling aftermath Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Social Producer: Harry Balden Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor
