Mary’s ascent to the throne was disarmingly easy and she reached adulthood completely unprepared for the plots and betrayals she would be subject to. As the head of a resolutely unstable country, Mary struggled to maintain her grip on the precarious crown on her head and was removed from the throne by an armed rebellion.

Very Educational and Insightful!

This work rights some wrongs against an historical monarch who I feel was indeed an honorable person and true queen.
