About This Book

A physician's diary combined with a detailed synthesis of intercepted letters and state papers reconstructs the final six months of Mary Stuart's captivity. The narrative follows the agents and ministers who monitored, searched, and eventually removed her papers, the procedural steps leading to a trial, and how the Babington conspiracy was used to justify condemnation. It includes the queen's appeals to foreign courts and the pope, intimate observations of her household and treatment, and documentary evidence presented by the editor aimed at exonerating her from participation in the alleged plot against her rival.
