520 1  "John Guy has unearthed a wealth of evidence that upends 
       the popular notion of Mary Queen of Scots as a female 
       fatale and establishes her as the intellectual and 
       political equal of Elizabeth I." "Guy draws on sources as 
       varied as the secret communiques of English spies and 
       Mary's own letters (many hitherto unstudied) to depict her
       world and her actions with stunning immediacy. Here is a 
       reappraisal of her multifaceted character and prodigious 
       political skill. Guy dispels the ingrained popular image 
       of Mary as a romantic leading lady, achieving her ends 
       through feminine wiles, driven by love to murder, undone 
       by passion and bad judgement. Through his pioneering 
       research, we come to see her as an emotionally intricate 
       woman and an adroit diplomat, maneuvering ingeniously 
       among a dizzying array of factions - the French, the 
       English, duplicitous Scottish nobles, and religious 
       zealots - who sought to control or dethrone her. Guy's 
       investigation of Mary's storied downfall throws sharp new 
       light on questions that have baffled historians for 
       centuries, and offers convincing new evidence that she was
       framed for the murder for which she was beheaded."--BOOK 
       JACKET.
