What a tragic event..I'm presently reading Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George. So far,I think I like this book better than all the others I've read of Mary. The only thing is, (which happens with all these tragic endings) I dread getting to the execution part. So much about Mary resembles Antoinette...all of it sad. Thanks, Elena.
Elena always has great posts about these tragic queens.
