Exile, The Captive Years of Mary, Queen of Scots with Rosemary Goring

Mary, Queen of Scots is one of the most famous women in British history, known best for the dramatic nature of her execution at the hands of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I. What is less well known is the story behind Mary’s nearly twenty year imprisonment, during which time she was moved all over England, in increasingly worse conditions. To discuss this window of Mary’s life and all of the complexities that went with it, I am pleased to welcome historian Rosemary Goring onto the podcast for the first time, for a discussion based on her latest book, Exile, The Captive Years of Mary, Queen of Scots.
