  • In Byways of Scottish History
    IN BYWAYS OF SCOTTISH HISTORY LOUIS A. BARBÉ B.A. MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS A BRILLIANT PERSONALITY More than three hundred years have elapsed since Mary Stuart was sent to the scaffold by Elizabeth, and met death with that noble fortitude which awed her enemies and which has half redeemed her fame in the eyes even of those who regard the tragedy of Fotheringay as an act no less of justice than of expediency. But even at the present time interest in her memory has not died away; nor can the question of her innocence or of her guilt be yet said to have been definitely settled by all that has been written about her in the interval. It hardly seems probable that it ever will be, for it is still a question of politics with some and of religion with many. And even in the rare instances where judgment is not blinded by the prejudice or the partiality of party or of creed, it is affected by an influence, nobler and more excusable indeed, but not less powerful nor less misleading—by unreasoning sentiment, by the sympathy which the romance of the unfortunate Queen's chequered career, her legendary beauty, her long captivity, and her heroic death awaken. In the controversy which has now raged for three centuries, and in the course of which every incident of Mary's life has repeatedly been submitted to the closest scrutiny, anxiety to get at facts, to add to the weight of evidence, to discover fresh witnesses, to unearth new documents bearing on the points at issue, has led to a disregard of her personality more complete, perhaps, than in the case of any of her contemporaries, and contrasting strangely with the abundance of intimate details which go to make up our knowledge of her great rival.

  • Kate Williams with Jenni Calder JENNI CALDER
    Kate Williams with Jenni Calder JENNI CALDER: Hello everyone, my name is Jenni Calder and I'm delighted to welcome you and our author Kate Williams to this session of the Big Book Weekend. This is part of Burnham's Book Festival. Many of you are probably familiar with Kate Williams, you'll have seen her on TV or heard her on the radio or read one or more of her many books. She is a Professor of History at the University of Reading. But she is a professor with a difference, in that she's concerned with making the past, and the people of the past, accessible. Understanding the past is not just about knowing the facts, but engaging with real people in the context of the times in which they lived. And to do that takes not just a lot of skill, but empathy for place and period, as well as personalities. And Kate has a lot of empathy, I think, plus what I can only describe as a kind of generosity towards the past. Kate's written several biographies, all of women, and all of women having to find a place in a man's world. She also writes fiction, with four novels published to date. But today we're going to talk about her latest work of history, which is called Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots, and there it is. And this is a book which examines the parallel lives of Mary and Elizabeth I, who are cousins, queens of adjacent kingdoms, each in a position of power; but at the same time, both very vulnerable, each trying to navigate the intricacies of national and international power politics at the time.

  • Mary Queen of Scots
    Mary Queen of Scots Mary Stuart was born on the 8th December 1542. Mary’s mother, also called Mary, was a French Princess known as Mary of Guise. Mary’s father was King James V of Scotland. Even though Mary was the couple’s third child, her two brothers had both died before she was born, meaning that Mary was heir to the throne. Just before Mary was born, King James V had received injuries in a battle with English soldiers. On the 14th December, the King died from his injuries and Mary became Queen of Scotland at just six days old. She was known as Mary Queen of Scots. As Mary was only a child when she was crowned Queen, Scotland needed a regent (someone who looks after the country until a child King or Queen is old enough to rule). Mary of Guise wanted to act as regent for her daughter but the powerful Scottish Lords decided that a relative of Mary’s, the Earl of Arran, would become regent instead. The Earl of Arran was well known for being greedy and desperately wanting to be King himself. At this time Scotland was a difficult country to rule. Not only were wars were raging between the Scottish Catholics and Protestants, but Henry VIII of England regularly invaded Scottish land in an attempt to steal the crown for himself. Fighting these wars with England were expensive, and by the time Mary was born Scotland had already lost many of its best soldiers (including King James V himself) protecting their land and borders.

  • In Search of the Ladies-In-Waiting and Maids of Honour of Mary, Queen of Scots: a Prosoprographical Analysis of the Female Household
    IN SEARCH OF THE LADIES-In-WaITING AND MAIDS OF HONOUR OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS: A PROSOPROGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE FEMALE HOUSEHOLD Rosalind K. Marshall Mary, Queen of Scots is without doubt the best-known monarch in Scot- tish history, the dramatic events of her life told and re-told many times, in religious polemic, biography, theatrical performance and opera. A queen in her own right since the death of her father, James V, King of Scots, in 1542, when she was six days old, she was sent to France at the age of five, to be brought up at Henri II’s court as the future bride of his son, the Dauphin François, later François II. With the premature death of her husband in 1560 bringing to an end her brief period as Queen Consort of France, she ignored the advice of her friends and returned to Scotland to begin her personal rule, a Roman Catholic monarch in an officially Protestant country. After two disastrous marriages, to her cousin, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley and, after his assassination, to James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, she was imprisoned and forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son, James VI. She escaped, was defeated at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568 and fled to England, where she hoped to gain the support of Elizabeth I. Instead, still only twenty-five years old, she was imprisoned and held captive until her execution 19 years later. Throughout these public yet very personal traumas she was surrounded by her female attendants.

Robin Carstensen, PhD Chair Charles Etheridge, PhD Jennifer Sorensen, PhD Committee Member Committee Member December 2019 ABSTRACT This manuscript explores the controversial life of Mary Stuart, a sixteenth century Scottish Queen through the lens of intimate household staff and the Edinburgh citizenry. Traditionally, Mary Stuart has been portrayed in relation to the various men in her life, including her three husbands, half-brothers, and son. However, less work explores her relationship with noble women, and even less about the historically overlooked lives of her Scottish household. This creative thesis explores the socio-political hierarchy of the sixteenth century, warring religious ideologies, and the power of privileged information, amongst others, to create a narrative that embodies life, while simultaneously respecting the lives overlooked by the archive. By exploring the lives of those virtually silenced in an incomplete archive, this creative exploration begins the conversation of how these private lives were ultimately affected by Mary Stuart’s mediation of religion and politics.

    Mary, Queen of Scots Mary Queen Of Scots: 1 Mary, Queen of Scots A Scottish Odyssey Letter from the Chair Hello Delegates, I am Efrain Vallejo, your most honorable chair! I am so very excited to see you all in action and maneuvering your way through feudal politics and seeing where the crisis ends up. I am a senior Diplomacy major at Seton Hall University minoring in French, art, and econ. This is my 4th year doing MUN and it has been by far one of the best things I have done in my collegiate career. I am on the SHU competitive MUN team in addition to SHUMUN where I have been a crisis staffer, crisis director, and now chair! One of my favorite things about crisis MUN is all the twists and turns that play out and I can't wait to see how we twist things up for Mary! I love MUN but I also have a life outside of it! I’m a big video game guy so you can catch me on my switch playing smash or on my laptop playing Civilization, or other strategy games (I love strategy games!). I also enjoy watching movies, binging tv shows ( I am currently binging Breaking Bad), and watching Dance Moms compilations on Youtube. I also am a bit artsy so you might catch me drawing, painting, or doing something creative. We were inspired to create this committee because of the show Reign and all the royal drama that is packed into its episodes. We hope that this simulation of the court of Mary Queen of Scots will be just as action and drama packed.
