Unlike Mary's time on the Scottish throne, the dramatic events of these years  almost half her life  took place while she was a captive. But while trouble was perpetually simmering beyond her prison walls, within them Mary was constantly plotting. Only towards the end did she lose faith in returning to her homeland as rightful ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of Mary's tumultuous later years, told through the many atmospheric locations where she was confined. Drawing on the latest research, including a treasure trove of recently decoded letters, Exile sheds fascinating new light on her captivity and the charged political climate of the period. Reading like a 16th-century thriller, this account of treachery, deceit, hope and despair is a penetrating and enthralling psychological portrait of one of history's endlessly fascinating queens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852893147294,"sku":"ADS-9781780278384","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781780278384.jpg?v=1779064392","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781780278384","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
